Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri, a Valencia academy product, delivered a harsh public assessment of his former club's current state, describing their football as 'very weak and very bad'. The comments come amid a turbulent period for Valencia under manager Carlos Corberan, with the club struggling in La Liga.
