Among the rare flops in Real Madrid recruitment in the 2010s, James Rodriguez was never able to glimpse the technical qualities and the meaning of the goal he had been able to show in Monaco or with Colombia during his exceptional 2014 World Cup. Questioned in the HISPANIC show “Los Amigos de Edu”the playmaker returned to his path in the Spanish capital, saying that “When I arrived in Madrid, I wondered: 'How will I speak to Ramos, Karim, Modric, Cristiano or Iker?' But I arrived and they were all very calm as if they were playing in the neighborhood with their friends. ”
At the end of the interview, the player lent himself to the game submitted to him, where he had to choose the best between two players presented to him. And to the question “James Rodriguez or Zinedine Zidane”, the Colombian hesitated for a few seconds, before answering that “Zidane was very good, he won the World Cup at his peak, but … James. When he arrived on the bench, I had no problem with him, I was not angry with him as we said, but he found a great team in which I did not integrate. ”
