Rodri assures that Spain has what it takes to defeat France in the World Cup semi-final. The Spanish captain, a midfielder for Manchester City, expresses confidence following recent victories over the French and believes that La Roja has the quality to reach the World Cup final for the first time since 2010.
The decisive match between Spain and France takes place in Dallas, and Rodri has no doubts about his team's ability to overcome the title favorites. The player highlighted previous victories over Didier Deschamps' side as proof of Spain's competitiveness: “France is one of the best teams here, in great form, but so is Spain. We can beat them; we've seen that in the Euros and the Nations League.”

Rodri's confidence is based on the experience he has accumulated throughout his career, during which he has participated in several significant victories against the French. The midfielder was an integral part of the team that eliminated France in the semi-finals of the U19 European Championship in 2015, and triumphed again against Les Bleus in the semi-finals of Euro 2024 and in last summer's Nations League clash.
Regarding his coach, Rodri praised the continuity and method of Luís de la Fuente: “Luís de la Fuente hasn't changed anything. This is where he started to build everything we see now.” The captain also acknowledged that World Cup matches have special characteristics: “World Cup matches are something different; I don't think it will be such an open game.”
