I did not play previously against stars with the potential of Mohamed Salah

Spaniard Niko Gonzalez confirmed that he is not the new Rodri, expressing his conviction of his ability to succeed in Manchester City.

The British Press Agency, BA Media, reported that the Spanish midfielder joined Manchester City to fill the void left by his injured citizen, since joining the team from Porto in January.

The beginning of Niko Gonzalez was disappointing, and he arrived in the team in light of his lack of Rodri, who won the Golden Ball award, due to his injury.

“I arrived recently and I am not used to playing against stars with the potential of Mohamed Salah,” Gonzalez said.

He added: “It is difficult to play matches against players like him, but we also have good players, and I think we have the best team, so I am sure we achieve to win the upcoming matches.”

He concluded, “I do not see myself as a substitute for Rodri, I see myself as another player.”
