Who is Rodri, the winner of the Golden Ball: He does not like social networks
Rodri with his girlfriend

Extraordinary in its normality. Rodrigo Hernández Cascante, known simply as Rodri and the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner.

He has always preferred to speak through the field, considering his game as the only stage. His performances and successes with Manchester City and Spain, with whom he was crowned European champion (he scored the decisive goal in the Champions League final against Inter), helped him become one of the strongest players in the world, winning the prestigious trophy individual of France Football, despite the stars of Real Madrid.

Who is Rodri, football and degrees

One of the most special characteristics of midfielder Rodri? His great love for football, as he confessed in an interview with The Players Tribune: "If you asked my wife or even my mother, they would say I'm the furthest thing from normal. When it comes to football, I'm an addict." This love of soccer helped him complete a degree in Business Management and Administration, as his parents wanted. This was a fair compromise between his family's wishes and his dream of a career in football.

It was not at all easy for this boy to progress in both ways, since at the beginning of his career he suffered from a lack of physical strength. Growing up in various age groups including Rayo Majadahonda, Atletico Madrid, Roda and Villarreal, he made his professional debut with Villarreal. In 2018, he moved to Atletico and a year later he was transferred to Manchester City for 70 million euros.

What has he earned in his career?

At Manchester City, where Rodri has become a star, he has won almost everything: four Premier Leagues, two League Cups, one FA Cup, two Community Shields, two European Super Cups, one Champions League, one Club World Cup and, with Spain, a Nations League and a European Championship. There are also numerous individual prizes. He has scored important goals, such as in the Champions League final against Inter, which proves his versatility and vision on the field.

The relationship with Simeone and Guardiola

The whole career of the Spaniard Rodri has been built on learning. At Villarreal he showed his skills in passing and vision of the game, but it was at Atletico with Simeone that he became "more aggressive" as he himself admits ("I became a bit of a bastard on the pitch"). With Guardiola, he achieved the full quality of the game, constantly pushing himself to improve and evolve. It is no coincidence that at Manchester City he reached a career high, winning six awards in nine days during the extraordinary 2023.

How much does Rodri earn?

Rodri is not one of Manchester City's highest paid players. At the English club, he earns around 13.4 million euros gross, which translates to 7.4 million euros net. He is the eighth highest paid player in Guardiola's squad, behind De Bruyne, Haaland, Grealish, Silva, Stones, Gundogan and Foden.

Rodri and Laura, the couple who do not like social networks and luxury

This boy from Madrid, born in 1996, has come a long way, keeping a low profile in his private life and keeping close to his dearest people, such as his wife Laura, a reserved person like him , who has also decided not to use social networks. Their beautiful story began years ago, when they were both university students. Now, looking back, they can be justifiably proud of all they have achieved together.

Rodri has never forgotten his roots. When he was a child and spent his vacations in Connecticut, USA, he felt like an outsider because of his passion for soccer, wanting to know the results of the 2010 World Cup at all costs. This has always been his priority, not big profits or luxury. "If I'm normal, it's probably in the sense that I don't care about social networks or expensive shoes. Ever since I was a kid, I've followed a feeling. I never said, 'Oh, I want to be a footballer to have a Ferrari'. No, it was because what my heroes did on the field made me feel alive."

Rodri emphasizes that he prefers real life meetings to those on social networks. In a recent interview with L'Equipe, he explained: “It's not even a matter of age, as this is a decision I made early on, when these social networks appeared. I decided to live my life according to my desire, without being influenced by others. And social networks, in my opinion, serve to do things based on the opinions of others. I've never felt the need for them, I feel so good this way. I even think it's a great decision for my life and career. Be careful, I know social media has interesting things, but being in touch with a lot of people you don't even know is not for me."

He will return to the field next year

Without tattoos, without piercings and with complete "normality", this guy who won the Ballon d'Or on crutches due to knee surgery, after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament, will not be able to return to the field this season. However, this season will remain memorable thanks to the most important individual award in his career. Rodri has a strong mental attitude and is sure to return to the field stronger than before.
