Many believe he will be a crucial player for Spain as they prepare to take on Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, and Uruguay in Group H.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s part of the job when you’re close to the end of your contract, so I try not to focus on it too much,\u201d the 29-year-old said on Monday.<\/p>\n As Madrid presidential elections draw near, speculation has grown, especially after candidate Enrique Riquelme mentioned Rodri as a key target in his campaign against the current president, Florentino P\u00e9rez.<\/p>\n Despite the outside noise, Rodri remains calm. \u201cI know where I stand. If it weren\u2019t for the World Cup, maybe things would be different, but right now, my priority is to focus on the tournament,\u201d he said. \u201cLet’s talk about the World Cup, and I\u2019ll address my future after it\u2019s over.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to his club situation, Rodri also shared his hopes for Spain\u2019s mentality at the tournament, inspired by tennis legend Rafael Nadal.
