Transcript

00:00I noticed the other night I had a kick-off that Rodri was in and around the dressing room

00:05and talking to the players and helping them just before they went out against Aston Villa.

00:10Even though he can't play, how much of a role is he having right now?

00:13I love that. I love that.

00:16I always say the guys don't play or ninjas.

00:19I allow them to be a manager.

00:22So the role of holding the midfield that Rodri knows perfectly

00:25and he can help the guys there.

00:28It's the way we create the teams.

00:30There's bones, there's something special.

00:32When the guys don't play or are injured, they can help the guys that are playing.

00:36Because everybody will enjoy next season being in Europe

00:41and if they believe that it's just for the eleven players played, they are wrong.

00:46So I like it. I like it a lot.
