Rodri surpass former Chelsea hero Ricardo Carvalho record after 3-1 win over Manchester United.
Manchester City’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United in the derby not only secured three crucial points but also saw Spanish midfielder Rodri achieve a notable milestone as during the match, Robri broke the record previously held by former Chelsea star Ricardo Carvalho.
As per Sun, Rodri hasn’t lost a game since a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham in February 2023, breaking Carvalho’s 58-match record after a recent win against United, which stretched the former Atletico Madrid player’s lossless streak to 59.
This achievement underscores Robri’s significance to Manchester City’s midfield and highlights his growing influence within the team. As a key contributor to City’s success, Robri’s performances have been instrumental in their pursuit of the Premier League title and other trophies. Hopefully, we too throw our name into that mix sooner or later.
Rodri’s achievement in breaking Ricardo Carvalho’s record highlights the evolution of Manchester City as a dominant force in English football. While Carvalho’s record was established during a period of Chelsea’s ascendancy under Jose Mourinho, Rodri’s feat reflects Manchester City’s rise to prominence in recent years.
Under the ownership of Roman Abramovich, Chelsea underwent a transformation that saw them become one of the most successful clubs in English football. Mourinho’s managerial prowess played a pivotal role in this transformation, as he assembled a formidable squad that delivered numerous trophies, including the club’s first-ever Premier League title.
Carvalho’s tenure at Chelsea was marked by his exceptional defensive contributions and his role in Mourinho’s successful reign. Over six years at the club, the Portuguese star established himself as one of Chelsea’s finest defenders, making significant contributions to their defensive solidity and trophy triumphs.
Abramovich’s unwavering pursuit of success was evident in his willingness to make managerial changes when necessary to achieve his ambitions. This approach underscored Chelsea’s relentless pursuit of excellence and their desire to win titles consistently.
Given the standards at Stamford Bridge back then, it comes as no surprise that Carvalho was able to put up such numbers.
However, eras come to an end, and we are currently in a new phase with new owners. Under Todd Boehly, the Blues aim to adopt new values and prioritise the signing of young players over veterans. We also boast exemplary midfield players who, with the right development, might emerge as the foundation of the team in future.
