"I don't look at news, I don't know what you guys are talking about. He is a teammate. It's important for the team he makes us play so good, but I don't see any comparison or pay much attention to those things. I try to listen and learn a lot from him. For example, the last game, at halftime he gave me some advice about what he saw"
"In Barcelona when I was young I watched Busquets. When I reached the first team I played with him and learned a lot from him. Maybe he's the player I've learned the most from."
"Hopefully Rodri will be back to train more often with him, right? But when he's young, of course, a playe"
Nico González does not view himself as a like-for-like replacement for Rodri and declines direct comparisons. He joined Manchester City from Porto in January to provide backup in the central defensive midfield role. Rodri is sidelined with a hamstring injury after missing most of last season following knee surgery, so González is deputising. González listens to and values advice from Rodri and models parts of his game on Sergio Busquets, a former Barcelona teammate. Rodri travelled with the squad to Villarreal despite being unfit to play. Pep Guardiola expects Rodri's presence and guidance to aid González's development.
