Rodri expressed, "I was a traditional midfielder, but once I realised if I wanted to get better, I had to do better in the last third, with assists, goals. That's why in the last few years, my presence, in that sense, in terms of goals has been increased. It's something you have to adopt that mindset to improve. It's the modern holding midfielder role: you have to be like a striker and like to play in the final third."
Reflecting on his off-pitch persona, Rodri commented, "I know, because I'm not on social media, and I understand that people don't know me much. I'm just a normal guy, enjoy the sport, enjoy my profession, try to be the best version of myself every day. I try to be a good person, good to my teammates, and try to be a leader.
