Rodri - The 2024 Ballon d'Or Winner! (Pg 131)

Rodri’s speech after winning the Ballon d’Or​

Rodri spoke very well last night after winning the Ballon d’Or, praising the spirit of hard work and thanked his family and team-mates for their support.

“First of all, I have to thank a very special person, my girlfriend Laura, today is our eighth anniversary. Without her, things would not be the same.

“My family, of course, the values they have taught me, showing me the right steps to take and helping me to become the man I am today.

“A very special person, my agent Paulo, when you took me to matches, feeding my dreams. I also want to thank my teammates because without them I would not be here as football is a team game. It’s very special for me, Manchester City is the best club in the world, thanks to them things have been much easier. I want to thank Luis De La Fuente for trusting me.

“I want to mention my teammates with whom I won the Euro title with, especially Dani Carvajal who suffered the same injury that I suffered. Lamine Yamal, I know you will win this award soon. This is a victory for Spanish football and many of my friends have written to me to say, ‘Football has won today!”

“Lastly, I would like to tell you a story that led me here, when I was 17, I packed my suitcase to fulfil a dream. One day I cried to my father, it’s all over, I invested my life to get here and that was it. My father said, we came all the way here, let’s keep going and this is something that changed my mindset. I am a nomal kid with values, I know what a hard worker is, thank you very much.”

Chuffed to bits for the lad. Well deserved. Real Mardarse showing themselves up for the massive shitstains they are is also a bonus.
