The Manchester City midfielder made a funny bet with his teammates on his number of goals scored this season.

Unstoppable player of Manchester City, Rodri is undoubtedly one of the best midfielders and even the best players in the world. The Spanish international has become a key player in Pep Guardiola’s team with his ability to dictate the tempo of his team and play fair, but he is also capable of being decisive in the zone of truth, he had elsewhere scored the only goal in the Champions League final won by the Cityzens in June.

An original bet

The 27-year-old’s number of goals also seems to be a subject of jokes within the Mancunian locker room. According to the indiscretions of Daily Mailthe number 16 would have made a bet with his teammates if he reaches 10 goals this season. “I made a bet with each member of the team: if I score 10 goals this season, they will all play a match with their shirts tucked in, including Ederson”, assured Rodri, who is one of the rare players to play with his jersey in the shorts and uncut socks. This season, he has already made it halfway by scoring five goals.
