Rodri from Manchester City has played in both La Liga and now plays in the Premier League. He joined Man City in 2019 from Atletico Madrid. The Spanish midfielder also played for Villarreal in his professional career. Rodri talks about the differences between the two leagues and gives a high price for both. Rodri believes that the Premier League brings higher intensity than La Liga.

Rodri says, "La Liga and the Premier League are practically different sports. In Spain, you can't play at the same pace as in the Premier League because your teammates won't follow you. In Spain, they are patient and tactical, and the teams know more about what they want to do with the ball. In England, football is more intense. I remember that when I debuted against West Ham, I didn't even have half a second to think. I had to learn to think faster, to resist the impact of the ball to maintain control. Here with the speed of the opponents and the offensive threat of the teams, your individualities are punished more than in Spain."
