Manchester City and Liverpool, a rivalry that has developed late off in the English football and City star Rodri has opened up over how he was greeted in England by one of the best teams in recent years in the shape of Liverpool.
Rodri joined City from Atletico Madrid for a club record £62.8m during the summer and has established himself as among the premier names in Guardiola’s team sheet since the start of the campaign.
City currently trail the Merseyside giants by eight points in the Premier League, with already losing twice this season to Norwich and Wolves respectively. But despite the long gap, both of them are expected to go toe-to-toe once again for the title this year.
And City’s new comer revealed how he has been left amazed by the intensity of Klopp’s players in every game.
“It’s pointless beating Watford 8-0 then losing the next game,” the Spanish international told the Guardian .
“I touched down to find one of the best teams I’ve seen in recent years Liverpool get seen as a counterattacking 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 at you like animals. They’re like a knife: one comes at you, then another.
“But every team has their bad moment and we have to be there [if they do]. Would you like it turning around?
