“I was at Villarreal for two years in the first team, then for a short ...” — Rodri Quote

I was at Villarreal for two years in the first team, then for a short time at Atletico.

On the pitch, sometimes you have to change the mentality.

In midfield, you are everywhere, you are part of everything.

It's a progression, you learn from your coaches. You are like a sponge. They give you things. If you take it, good. If you don't take it, it's going to be worse for you.

Once you start winning big titles, you don't want to stop.

I've had some of the best years of my career at Atletico and remember the supporters, my teammates, and the coaching staff fondly.

I'm so good at Atletico. Honestly, I don't see myself leaving.

Liverpool is a massive club in reputation, but as soon as I came here, it felt like Atletico to me. It is a working city, an honest city. The people work all week, and on Saturday they want to go to Anfield and watch the best team in the world.

I wished I could go back to Atletico; I'm not going to lie.

At Ajax, I got an education in how to be confident on the ball, my technique, and then, at Atletico, I learned how to defend. It was about the details, the ruthlessness; be clinical in front of your own goal, win every duel, be clever. I learned so much and, defensively, I grew there so much.
