ROTTERDAM : Spain midfielder Rodri is going through the best period of his career as he prepares for a second final in the space of a week, looking to add national team success to taking the treble with Manchester City.
On Sunday he is expected to be key again, this time for Spain as they take on Croatia to decide the Nations League champions in Rotterdam. "I want to extend that to the national team now. We beat Italy two days ago in a very tough game, and now we have another final to play. And we must understand the importance of taking these chances and winning a trophy for the first time in a long while. It would be the perfect way to end the season.”
"I’ve tried to just take things calmly and naturally. When there are happy moments, you need to know how to accept the praise. But I'm more focused on the team overall, what matters is winning trophies as a team, that's what I've always wanted.""We have a big game tomorrow after a very long season for me which has been very demanding.
