Manchester City midfielder Rodri explained the differences between Premier League and La Liga football in his opinion.
Rodri, Getty Images"These are almost different sports. The main thing is to understand the rhythm. In La Liga, you can't play at the same pace as in the Premier League, because your partners won't support you. In Spain, they play patiently and with an emphasis on tactics, teams know better what they want to do with the ball. In England, football is more about intensity.
I remember my debut against West Ham, I didn't have half a second to think, the opponent was already in front of me. I had to learn to think faster, to resist physical contact in order to maintain control of the ball," L'Equipe quoted Rodri as saying.
