"The talk really pissed me off," Rodriguez said. "My people know how I act and that I always seek to take good care of myself.
"I'm a professional but what's been said about me going out a lot at night is a lie. It really pisses me off that people doubt me and say I'm looking fat."
On his high-speed pursuit by police, Rodriguez added: "I was not going as fast as everyone says.
"I had music playing at a high volume [that's why I could not hear the sirens] I'm not stupid, if I would have seen them I would have pulled and apologised - people make mistakes."
And on Zidane replacing Rafa Benitez, he said: "The change has been good for the team."
