Rodri Shines as Spain Finds Rhythm

Spain began the World Cup in sluggish form, appearing lost despite being considered one of the top contenders. The team under Luis de la Fuente was missing something crucial, leading the coach to make tactical adjustments by moving Baena to left wing, repositioning Pedri, and placing Dani Olmo as an attacking midfielder.

Amid these changes, Rodri has gradually regained his sharpness, earning the MVP distinction in the Portugal match. His performance symbolizes Spain's slow but steady improvement as they seek their best form ahead of the tournament in New York. afrikasportnews.co.za
