What's so refreshing about Mikel, is that he gives his honest opinion and will praise any player who deserves it, regardless of the club they play for. So many podcasts out there of ex players just always hyping and showering their ex teammates with praise regardless of whether they were the better player,etc. Keep up the good work!
100% agree with Mikel on this.
Rodri and Busquet are on a different level entirely. Fortunately for this current generation of DMs, the world recognizes their value more in the team than before.
Much Love to you Mikel! We dey with you! 💝💯
Yea as a City fan, i didnt think I would like a player more than De Jong, then came Fernandinho, who became my favorite. Such an important player for us in the Pells and Pep eras. Rodri now looks even better than those 2, unreal player.
Rodri is a phenomenal player.
Unbelievable baller. To think his first season was under par at best, to see where he has come is unreal. Easily the best DM in football today
Brilliant!
Love from home 🇳🇬🇳🇬
As a Star Wars and Blues myself, this show already legendary!
Mikel was wayyyy better than Rodri. I used to love watching him. Mikel is my hero💙 I miss him😭
No chance
100% AGREE WITH YOU GUYS
One million percent Rodri d best DM in the world football currently
Best player in the world Rodri ballon dor
Rodri coach on the pitch
There are various types of central defensive midfielders (CDMs), Mikel. As a Chelsea legend, you might have overlooked this. We have deep-lying playmakers like Rodri, Busquets, Jorginho, Pirlo, Carrick, and Kimmich. Then there are the destroyers and ball-winning CDMs such as Makelele, Kanté, Roy Keane, and Vieira. It all depends on the manager's style of play. Saying Rodri is among the best ever is a massive disrespect to players from previous eras. Jose Mourinho, for instance, wouldn't opt for an orchestrator or deep-lying playmaker like Rodri, Jorginho, Busquets, or Pirlo. He prefers a destroyer or ball-winning CDM. Similarly, Pep Guardiola wouldn't choose a destroyer like Makelele or Kante because his possession-based football emphasizes keeping the ball and requires creative CDMs who can create plays. When choosing the best CDM ever, you have to consider these nuances rather than generalizing. Your comment comes off as massively disrespectful without this perspective.
Rodri is a hybrid mate
He is a destroyer that pivots
For me, he is a mixture of Patrick Viera and Busquets
rodri played for a simeone team that is the opposite of a pep team and shined he was their second best player after griezmann
Rodri my smartest player
mikel says rodri is best ever DM in pl history, but the deluded fans online argue about casemiro and kante. No one comes close to rodri in terms of holding midfield.
I don't accept that Rodri is better than Vieira. We are forgetting about eras and the game has evolved.
Rodri is better 100% with all round play
@@olumideayowumiojo1651Viera won everything on offer plus was 10x the player
Arsenal fans ..don't be biased
Rodri is better than Vieira.
KANTE is the best
kante is not even a holding midfielder. Kante is poor at ball retention
I understand what Mikel is saying but what about Andrea Pirlo? Pirlo was doing what Rodri is doing now & more. I have never seen a more composed player on the ball than Pirlo. Dude was playing like he controlled time! 😂
Pirlo had a kind of team he enjoyed
He always had an Italian destroyer beside him. Marchisio and Gattuso so he didnt have much work. Rodri is a oppressive and meticulous workhorse.
Best ever? Even Better than Kante?
Help me ask am o.
He's just going to do Makelele, Vieira, Simeone, Dunga, Edgar Davids, Kante like that.
Maybe when Rodri retires, we can have this conversation. Rodri has been at Man City for just over 4 yrs and he's using that to negate Vieira.
Kante wasn't better than makelele
But Mikel was the same....
Mikel had that same style but Mourinho spoilt it.
busquets better..... no stress
rodri gets away with so many little fouls...and he dives too...great player, but no respect from me
I heard rodri has fell into depression after hearing he has no respect from you
Does he know about this? I bet he doesn't even know you.
