Ahead of the European Championship final between England and Spain, Spanish international Rodri said in an interview that he wished his Manchester City teammate Foden wouldn’t be in England’s starting lineup, so that Spain would have a better chance of winning the cup.
Spain’s performance in the European Championship final has been more convincing, almost crushing their way into the final. While Southgate’s England team has been stumbling along, it cannot be denied that the English players have a fighting spirit and tenacity. In short, the two teams have presented completely different paths to promotion.
The European Championship final will also be a clash between teammates from multiple clubs, including Rodri of Manchester City representing Spain, while Foden, Kyle Walker and Stones represent England.
In an interview with Spanish media, Rodri was full of praise for Foden, “England has a lot of great players, I have a good relationship with Foden and I know him very well, because we play together at Manchester City, he’s a player we have to defend against, he’s born to take chances in tight spaces.”
Rodri said that if he could choose one player not to be in England’s starting lineup, it would be Foden. But Rodri believes that he would rather England and Spain both play with their full strength, so that the eventual champion would have more gold content.
