Rodri Claims Liverpool Are The Best Team He Has Faced

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has admitted that he was amazed by the intensity of Liverpool’s gameplay under German boss Jurgen Klopp, saying his teams attack the opponent players “like animals”.

Defending Premier League champions Manchester City are currently eight points behind current League leaders Liverpool after suffering shock defeats against Norwich City as well as Wolverhampton Wanderers. But Liverpool has been absolutely relentless this season as they have managed to win their opening eight games in the Premier League maintaining their 100 percent winning start in England’s top flight.

Rodri arrived at Manchester City in the summer transfer window from Atletico Madrid and has started seven times in the league and also played a full part in August’s Community Shield encounter with Liverpool, which City won on penalties following a 1-1 draw.

However, the young Spanish midfielder was immediately struck by Liverpool’s breathless brand of football with the hurrying and hassling and the 23-year-old has spoken about City’s title rivals,

Rodri told rerporters that Liverpool is one of the best teams that he had seen in the recent years, “I touched down [in England] to find one of the best teams I’ve seen in recent years, Liverpool get seen as a counter-attacking team, but they dominate, score from set-plays, the attacking mechanisms are well-worked, they have variety. Klopp’s teams are tough, physical. They go to you like animals. They’re like a knife – one comes at you, then another. But every team has a bad moment and we have to be there [if they do].”
