‘I’m not Messi’ – Rodri claims that he cannot transport Manchester City after a disappointing return

Rodri insisted that he could not alone repair the bad form of Manchester City after making his first beginning of the Premier League in 11 months against 2-1 Sunday in Brighton.

The Spanish international, who recovered from a long -term LCA injury, returned to the departure of Pep Guardiola but could not prevent consecutive defeats in the League.

Brajan Gruda’s late strike sealed the victory for the hosts after James Milner canceled the first match of Erling Haaland from the penalty point.

“I’m not Messi. I’m not going to come back and win the team and win,” said Rodri after the match. “He is a collective; When we have won in the past, I needed all my teammates.

“It is sure that I have to recover and find my best level. It is not because I’m back, we will win. It is a collective sport. I hope that after the break, we can come back much better.”

Rodri admitted that City errors undermine them at the start of the trembling season.

“Some of the mistakes we make are children’s mistakes, you don’t focus and don’t pay attention,” he said. “The reality is that we have to increase the level if we want to compete.

“This is a question of the team, changes, new players must adapt, and when you change the team as much, it’s difficult. It’s our reality, these are not excuses.”

Milner, who struck the place in the 67th minute against his former club, dedicated his equalizer to the former co-team Diogo Jota, who was tragically died in a car accident.

“It was horrible [what happened to Jota]”Said Milner at the BBC.” He was a great guy and a great teammate. I loved it like both. I haven’t scored for six years and I was carrying his number. Obviously, I have the help of the great man.

“It’s nice to get the goal in a victory. I am delighted for boys. “
