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.
