Destined to wear the captain's armband depending on the circumstances and back to the midfield of the national team after demonstrating his ability as a central defender in the World Cup, Rodrigo Hernández is looking forward to the second and final match of this stage during which he will meet again with friends and rivals from the English Premier League.

 

For the player from Madrid, Scotland "is a very physical team that defends in a low block with a line of five, but they also have quality players in transition. We will try to play a good match tomorrow".

For them, there is total harmony with the coach, because "I have known Luis for a long time and I am aware of what he wants from a pivot: a quick thinking, reliable player, with the ability to command his teammates, who is able to filter passes and also take advantage of long-range shots".

With this versatility, leadership and spirit of sacrifice for the team, Rodrigo is living a moment of great footballing maturity at 26 years of age: "I try to assume my role on the field and on the team as naturally as possible. I want to reflect in my game all the experience I have in the national team, show my best football and make my way", says one of the captains of the national team.
