Rodri Hernandez He is the football protagonist of the week. The Spanish footballer won the Ballon d’Or this Monday and is in the spotlight around the world after receiving this precious award. The Manchester City midfielder is a different and special player. And he’s proud to be, as he made clear in his gala speech after lifting the trophy. Without going any further, it is particularly striking that Rodri does not have social networks, He doesn’t even want to have them…
A few months ago, the Madrid midfielder revealed the reasons why he doesn’t want to be neither on Instagram nor on X (formerly Twitter)nor on other networks. And despite his sporting achievements, the recent European Cup and the Ballon d’Or, Rodri remains discreet and stays away from the media spotlight, at least as much as he can, being now the best player in the world. “If I’m normal it’s probably in the sense that I don’t care about social media not even the 400 pound sneakers. “I didn’t say, ‘Oh, I want to be a footballer so I can have a Ferrari,'” he said in The Players’ Tribune, insisting that fame “doesn’t fulfill me” and that he doesn’t like being “extravagant” unlike other colleagues whom he respects in any case.
Rodri also considers that not being on the networks helps him summary of “useless information” and that this serves to “appease this footballer aspect and not to be so recognized” in the street. “Fame does not satisfy him and he devotes himself only to charitable actions because he always says that he would like to give back to society what it has given him,” also said one of his closest friends.
Rodri’s private life: girlfriend…
He also mentioned it in the speech he gave after receiving the Ballon d’Or this Monday. “I remember one day saying ‘enough’, I remember calling my dad crying with the feeling that it was all over, that I had invested my whole life in achieving this and it seemed like the dream was fading. He told me “if we got here, we’re not going to throw in the towel” and from that day on he changed my mentality. A normal boy with values, who studies, who tries to do things well and does not pay attention to stereotypes outside of football, he can reach heights, thanks to everyone,” Rodri said at the gala.
As we already mentioned, Rodri Hernández’s private life is literally like that, private. We know that his girlfriend Laura He is a doctor and they met at the residence of the Jaume I University. Unlike the footballer, she has social networks, but her account is private and she also wants to stay away from the spotlight and not publicly expose her life. Laura has already celebrated several titles with him on the pitch, and this Monday she accompanied him to the Ballon d’Or gala. In addition, she was the first person the player thanked in his speech: “I would like to dedicate it to the gala. most important person in my life, what is Laura, my girlfriend, we’ve been together eight years now.
