da spicy bet： As Father Time continues to catch up with Fernandinho, Manchester City’s desperate need for a new holding midfielder was perhaps never more important than this summer.
Pep Guardiola’s side eventually splashed the cash to bring Atletico Madrid star Rodri to the Etihad, and it’s fair to say the Spaniard has hit the ground running for his new club.
The 23-year-old notched his first goal for City in the defeat to Norwich in the Premier League, and delivered an impressive performance at the heart of midfield in the Champions League clash against Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday night.
The Spain international managed four tackles, two interceptions and one clearance in a defensive masterclass, and the performance saw City fans flood to Twitter to share their thoughts on their summer signing.
