Rodri's Return Sparks Spain's World Cup Form

Rodri's return to form earned him MVP honors against Portugal, helping Spain overcome their sluggish start to the World Cup.

Spain began the tournament slowly, appearing cold and missing something crucial despite being considered one of the top contenders. Coach Luis de la Fuente experimented with different formations, placing Baena as left winger, moving Pedri to a deeper position, and positioning Dani Olmo as attacking midfielder. capturengo.org

With Rodri regaining his touch and being named MVP against Portugal, Spain appears to have found the missing piece that was holding them back. The midfielder's performance coincided with the team's improved rhythm as they look to challenge for the trophy in New York.
