00:00Spain midfielder Rodri has defended his former club Manchester City after reports that they were found guilty of 114 of
00:10the 115 financial charges brought by the Premier League.
00:15The Barcelona midfielder said he continues to believe in the club's innocence and trusts the legal process. Rodri also pointed
00:24to City's successful appeal against a UEFA ban in 2020, saying the players had remained calm during that case. Here
00:34is what the Spanish midfielder had to say.
00:36But as discussed earlier, there are questions about the achievements of Manchester City. Does that hurt as a player that
00:44has achieved so much?
00:46Well, I think for us, the players, it's a different thing that you guys, I can understand all kinds of
00:58opinions and it's something that now is big.
01:00But we always try to think in a positive way, trying to, when you live daily on that club and
01:10the things, all the people that had hard work all these years to have all the success we have, you
01:16know, not only Pep and the players, all the structure from the owners to the guys that work daily.
01:25What we did, they cannot take it out of us. I mean, it's something that is not paid off by
01:32money, you know, it's paid with effort, with partnership, with, you know, being shoulder to shoulder every day.
