Manchester City midfielder Rodri admits he enjoys playing for manager Pep Guardiola.

Rodri spoke about his City career this week with France Football.

He said: “It is a double equation at City, because you have to adapt to Pep's principles and the Premier League game. For me, perhaps because of my Spanish football education, it was less difficult for me to understand Pep's game than that of the Premier League.

"Perhaps for some, the main difficulty at the beginning with Pep is that he is always changing, always adjusting, and since the teammates are not always the same, you have to be very focused on these changes because you have to have the same collective performance with different teammates.

“It is true that there is a lot of communication between him and me, because he knows everything about the role. Football has changed, but he gives me a lot in terms of tactics and mentality, depending on the moment of the match and the phase of the game, because in this position your teammates expect you to be the 'safe' player, with or without the ball.

"Especially when the game is tense. Your teammates need to read you and your game: 'Don't panic, we are going to regain control'. It is with this responsibility that you must focus your role."
