Spain coach, Luis de la Fuente, has identified Manchester City’s Rodri and Arsenal’s Martin Zubimendi as the two finest defensive midfielders globally.
In anticipation of Spain’s exhibition match against Serbia on Friday, De la Fuente commended both athletes, declaring Rodri as the top player in the world and highlighting that Zubimendi is the second-best midfielder.
“Following all the challenges Rodri faced, he has returned to an elevated standard,” De la Fuente shared with TVE.
“I have stated previously that he is the greatest in the world, but also that we are extremely lucky.
“In that position, the No. 6 spot, we possess the two top players globally: Rodri and Martín Zubimendi.”
