Rodri is a key piece in the Atletico Madrid team as he provides the required balance in midfield. The 22-year-old is a smart defensive midfielder who possesses great positional awareness, the ability to break up play as well as an excellent passing ability, a reminiscent of Barcelona's Sergio Busquets.
He had managed an average of 3.5 tackles and 1.2 clearances per game so far this season. Rodri also averages a total of 48.2 passes per game with a success rate of 93.4%. The Spaniard has also managed to execute an average of 2.8 long balls per game.
This might be his first season at Madrid but his stats show that he is one of the best and most promising defensive midfielders of the game.
