Spain defeated France 2-0 to advance to the final. Ibrahimovic praised Rodri after the match, saying that Rodri proved to everyone why he deserved to win the Ballon d'Or.
"I remember Pep Guardiola saying that this season we would see Rodri in his best form at the FIFA World Cup. He suffered the same knee injury as me, and recovery takes a long time. Everything about your body feels unfamiliar, and you have to readjust to the field and regain your original movement rhythm. During his months at Manchester City in the Premier League season, he slowly regained his feel for the game, and finally unleashed his full potential at the FIFA World Cup.
"He proved his strength to everyone and showed why he deserved to win the Ballon d'Or. Yes, don't forget this honor. Many people often underestimate him, even though he has been active in top-level competitions for years. But for someone in his position, winning the Ballon d'Or is very rare, which is enough to prove that he is a top-tier world-class player. He can give his teammates confidence and make everyone around him stronger; he can ignite the team's offense and stabilize the game. He is a player every team dreams of having.
"I have recovered from this injury twice myself, and I know it's not easy. An anterior cruciate ligament tear is a major injury with a long recovery period. The mental anguish is far more difficult to endure than the physical pain, especially in the first four or five months of recovery. The rehabilitation period for this injury lasts seven to twelve months, and the process is very grueling. But as long as you are professional enough and have strong self-discipline, you will definitely be able to return to the field – this is the most crucial point in the recovery process."

What nonsense are you talking about? Rodri was an ordinary player when Busquet was winning treble and World Cup and Euros. Rodri can never be better than Busquet
Bro I bet you Rodri is much better than Busquet if you watch their games diligently. Busquet was having a monster Pep Team in Barca and Spain during that time BUT we you are comparing individual brilliant I will always choose Rodri a billion times than Busquet

Rodri is Real Madrid bond he's the best number 6 in the world since the game was found. He's the perfect and complete version of Sergio Busquet. Pep used Rodri in correcting the loopholes Sergio Busquet had.
