Madrid wanted a player who can be a good super sub and can play as a rw (cover for bale).They had 2 options:Isco or james,zidane chose isco and as a result there was no use of james at the club
@@naganitish5256putting james as a rw is a crime he cant use his talents well in that position james is a playmaker who makes incredible passes creating chances to score goals also he is a good skiller with the ability to move the ball forward change the direction of play + can shoot from distance with ease so his preferred position is number 10 the way ancelotti used him but zidane had other ideas btw isco was never a rw he was either a 10 or lw sometimes
Damn, this brings back memories, James Rodriguez was my favorite player, the style of play, the smile, the passion, he was so good, and now he’s back 🤩🤩😤😤
The story behind why he’s back at Colombia it’s amazing and Beautiful. The coach is from pekerman’s time 2014 the prime of Colombia’s team, in 2023 the coach went to one of the Arabian teams that James played for and said “We want you back, no matter what, reconnect with the team with us, try your best but pls we need you, you can guide the team” so he went to a Brazilian team that paid him only 2M and he is back (in the old team they signed him for like 24M I think Idrk but as a Colombian I’m proud of my team)
What’s crazy is that he’s been having a decent club record the past 2 season leading to him showing up on the global stage but Colombia’s almost 2 year unbeaten record has helped elevate his game again
I’ve been a fan of his since 2014. That World Cup was when I really started following football and my god James was something special. I’ve always rooted for him wherever he went. I wish he would have gotten more opportunities at Madrid because he is world class and this is coming from a Barça fan.
Some players come from street football, they don't need any tactics, plans.. give them the main man role (classic no. 10), they will do the work pass, goal everything ❤
James Rodriguez is only 32 years old, he’s still fairly young. I don’t know why people are counting him out at this age he should be at his peak. I think clubs in Europe should give him a chance whether it’s a top club or not, I’m sure a club in La Liga, EPL, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 or Serie A. He deserves a chance especially if Colombia beats Argentina with Messi and a top 5 country in the world
Insane talent, but sadly the football managers couldn't utilize his full potential, if given freedom and less defensive duties this dude could has easily surpassed KDB. The only manager that recognize his other worldly ability was Don Carlo.
This short gave me flashbacks throughout the flashes of seeing James in Europe. But if they somehow win the copa America, James will be immortalized for Colombia
He always did got it but he got tons of injuries and after Zidane's appointment he was left on the bench it's a shame that we didn't get to see his best due to bad luck
