No worries, no worries.
Kind of, yeah, kind of.
We did this piece at The Athletic.
Um I've I've got a lot of comments like on Twitter or like people reply to me saying like the Red Wedding.
Just making this parallel with Game of Thrones, I think it was.
Um uh so yeah, basically um the signing was not done in a wedding, but it was in a wedding, a wedding from a guy who works at Barça now, who is a player's care guy at Barça, which is Danicodina.
He was
formerly at City and he knew Rodrin then a lot of City players and executives and background staff who were at the wedding as well.
And it was in this wedding where people started to to realize that Rodri, a guy from from the city of Madrid, um which is the captain of Spain and which seemed the perfect fit for Real Madrid, he actually preferred to join Barcelona, because he started telling people in there.
And later on we found out that uh taking into account that this wedding happened in Catalonia in the coastline, in the Costa Brava.
I don't know if you had the
chance to go there but if you if you have place to um so basically decopate the trip to the Costa Brava to to be driving there, have a nice lunch, discuss the things that they had to discuss, and a few days later the transfer saga and uh signing to go to Barcelona start a pro why does he prefer Barcelona to Madrid?
Well,
Is it the seaside?
Uh might be.
I've I don't have this intel so far.
But uh no, what I know is that it's basically going down to sporting reasons, the feet that he sees himself in into the team, he knows the dressing room, he knows what to expect, the way that personal plays more similar to what he has done and to the his strengths.
And then deep down, and that's me being I don't know if a bit cynical, but I think that Roderick is worth that for and
Perez didn't really want him.
So Real Madrid didn't want Rodri up until after the World after the World Cup.
