The midfielder made a bad mistake in his side's 1-1 draw his coach came to his defence, saying such moves are part of his "personality"
Diego Simeone says taking risks is part of Rodrigo's game after the Atletico Madrid midfielder contributed to Girona's opening goal in Sunday's La Liga draw.
Rodrigo's loose pass in midfield resulted in Cristhian Stuani being played through on Jan Oblak's goal by Patrick Roberts, the goalkeeper tripping the Girona striker just inside the box.
Stuani beat Oblak from 12 yards out to move clear at the top of La Liga's scoring charts but Atleti scrambled a late equaliser thanks to a spectacular own goal by Jones Ramalho.
