When one player leaves Manchester City, an opportunity opens for someone else to take that place. It's a sentiment that is integral to how the first team operate, but it's perhaps even more relevant in the academy.
Pep Guardiola described Rodri as the best holding midfielder in the world and Julian Alvarez as an "incredible threat" after their starring roles in Manchester City's comeback win over Red Star Belgrade, although the Spaniard admitted he is concerned about his squad's growing injury list.

If Manchester City were at full-strength, their midfield would consist of Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne and probably Mateo Kovacic, or maybe Bernardo Silva. Rodri is the best defensive midfielder in the world, so is quite happy to let his more attacking teammates take on the creative mantel. Without De Bruyne or Kovacic, however, and Bernardo needed out right with Jack Grealish out, Rodri is having to play multiple roles in one at the start of the season.
