“I think the team gives me the confidence to play freely and calmly,” Rodríguez told reporters (h/t Telediario). “I try to do what I know, so the team gives me the confidence to be calm on the field. The truth is that they received me well from the first day, which made me feel confident and calm. Happy with the team and the people.”
