00:00Hello everyone. We have to congratulate the legendary Rodri, who has played 50 games for the national team.

00:09We all wish you the best month of your life. It will mean that it will be the best of ours too.

00:18Congratulations Rodri.

00:26It went by very quickly. It is an honour for me to play 50 games for the national team.

00:32I have a lot of important moments and it is not easy to reach this number.

00:39I hope there are many more to come, but 50 is a big number and I am very proud.

00:46For me, you are my second family. 50 games for the national team in my country.

00:52I am very proud and above all, I will play in the Eurocup again.

00:57As I say, the mountain, the peak looks very high, but we are climbing little by little

01:02and I am sure we will get there. Thank you all very much.

01:08On March 23, 2018, I played against Germany.

01:13It was probably the most important dream I had since I was a child, to play for your country's national team.

01:21In the end, life in football goes by very quickly. It is difficult to find moments,

01:25but behind these 50 games, there are many memories, many sweet moments,

01:32not so many at other times. I played in the World Cup, in the Nations League,

01:37but if I had to choose a moment, it would be the day of my debut

01:42and the day we won the Nations League, which was very special for me.

01:47And above all, the teammates I have shared with.

01:50There have been a lot of players who have gone through the national team.

01:53We have one of the great talents in European football and world football.

02:00It only makes me proud to reach this number, because it is not easy.

02:05I simply try to transmit tranquility, everything that can make us better

02:10and that can make them better, especially the young people who are coming.

02:14And to face these types of tournaments, which are so important.

02:17I have a different personality, a personality of a boy who wants to do things right

02:23and that is what I always try to do, to transmit this to everyone.

02:27We are very excited. We are going step by step.

02:29We don't want to set very high expectations in the long run.

02:33We want to look at the day-to-day, be competitive and, above all, feel the shirt.

02:39This shirt that represents us so much, that is so important for all of us here.

02:44No matter where we are, we all represent a single color.

02:48And we are going to feel the breath of the people very close, we know that.

02:52The stadiums where we go and the people who are at home.

02:55Spain will do everything possible and I am convinced that this European Championship will play a big role.
