Real Madrid legend Luis Figo has reacted to reports linking Manchester City midfielder Rodri to Los Blancos. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that Rodri‘s consistency and tactical intelligence make him a dream target for many Madridistas, Figo revealed that contractual hurdles can still prevent a deal from happening.
Luis added that Rodri is one of the best players in the world even without scoring goals and providing assists.
His words, “For me, Rodri has had a great World Cup, even though he hasn’t stood out much in terms of goals or assists.
I know there’s been talk of Rodri coming to Real Madrid. I think it will be difficult because he’s under contract with Manchester City, but everyone knows that Real Madrid always wants to sign the best players in the world.
Spain was the best team, not just in the final, but throughout the entire competition.
They only conceded one goal. Overall, I think they were the most consistent team and also the ones who played the best football, so Spain’s World Cup victory was, without a doubt, the victory of the best team.”
Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly referred to as Real Madrid, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. The club competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football.
Real Madrid has maintained the white shirt for its home kit throughout the history of the club. There was, however, one season that the shirt and shorts were not both white. It was an initiative undertaken by Juan Padrós in honor of an English team Corinthian F.C., which he had met on one of his trips, one of the most famous teams at the time known for its elegance and sportsmanship.
It was under Florentino Pérez’s first presidency (2000–2006) that Real Madrid started its ambition of becoming the world’s richest professional football club. The club ceded part of its training grounds to the city of Madrid in 2001, and sold the rest to four corporations: Repsol YPF, Mutua Automovilística de Madrid, Sacyr Vallehermoso and OHL.
Hala Madrid is a magazine published quarterly for the Real Madrid club members and the Madridistas Fan Club card holders. The phrase Hala Madrid, meaning “Forward Madrid” or “Go Madrid”, is also the title of the club’s official anthem, which is often sung by the Madridistas (the club’s fans).
