Guardiola Told Dazn: “We miss Him [Rodri] Lot, right?! I HAD The Feeling Last Season We Had An Incredible Team, but had a lot of problemms; Injuries, injurities, injugues.
“Which Team is not Going to Miss the Best Player in the World?! His composure, He Knows Exactly What He has to do with the Ball, the Personality, Many Things.
