On September 3rd, Premier League legend Stephen Warnock spoke up for Kovačić, stating that all the glory and praise are being given to Rodri, whereas Kovačić has not received the respect he deserves.
In the first three rounds of this season’s Premier League, Rodri did not participate in any matches. However, despite his absence, Manchester City continued their strong momentum, winning all three games and leading the league table.
Warnock said people overlook Kovačić: “There is no doubt that Rodri is a big-game player who performs well against strong teams. In contrast, everyone seems to unintentionally overlook Kovačić. I believe his role is equally significant. People are always talking about Rodri, and in such circumstances, Kovačić strives to prove himself and improve his level, which he has indeed done. Of course, when Rodri returns, Manchester City will become an even better and stronger team.”
To date this season, in the four games Manchester City has played, Kovačić has started in all of them and even scored a goal against Chelsea.
