Spain manager, Luis de la Fuente, has named Manchester City’s Rodri and Arsenal’s Martin Zubimendi as the two best defensive midfielders in the world.
Ahead of Spain’s friendly against Serbia on Friday, De la Fuente praised both players, calling Rodri the best in the world and emphasizing that Zubimendi is the second-best midfielder.
“After all the setbacks Rodri went through, he’s back at a high level,” De la Fuente told TVE.
“I’ve said before that he is the best in the world, but also that we are very fortunate.
“In that position, the No. 6 role, we have the two best players in the world: Rodri and Martín Zubimendi.”
