Manchester City midfielder Rodri has insisted he is excited about trying to win the club's fourth Premier League title in a row.
After drawing 1-1 with Liverpool at Anfield, Manchester City are now third, just one point behind Arsenal and Liverpool, with the Gunners leading on goal difference. City's next big game is against Arsenal at home, with games against Aston Villa and Tottenham also on the agenda.
“We need a break. We have the FA Cup game (against Newcastle) and then go to the international teams so it will be good for us to refresh and give the last push at the end of the season,” Rodri said.
“We know how good we are in the last part of the season, we just need to charge the batteries again and focus on the last 10 games. It seems you have to win nine or 10 games to win this Premier League. This is the challenge and we are going to go for it.”
Rodri admits that City didn't play their best against Liverpool even though they took the lead in the first half. Liverpool bounced back after the break and following Alex Mac Allister’s equalising penalty, it was the hosts who looked more likely to win.
“An incredible game. We started really well in terms of chances and dominance and I think it was quite good. The second half was their half,” added the City midfielder. “Of course with the crowd and the way they played and pressed, we weren’t clinical enough to find the spaces.
