Guardiola emphasizes Rodri's importance, saying that he is a crucial player. Rodri's performance was impressive last season, and he was even named the best player in the world before he got injured against Arsenal. Guardiola believes that Rodri's skills are vital for the team's success.

Regarding the decision to keep James Trafford as the goalkeeper, Guardiola explains that he wants to focus on Trafford for this match. However, he also mentions that Ederson is still on the bench and will be considered for future matches. Guardiola is aware that goalkeepers play a lot of games throughout the season and will need to be rotated.

Guardiola also shares a humorous anecdote about how players can get jealous when one of them gets praised for making a mistake. He suggests that it's better to praise all players together or not at all, to avoid any jealousy or competition among them.
