True class: Hames turns the Premier League into his own show (video)

Hames Rodríguez stole the show in Everton’s 4-2 win over Brighton yesterday and once again proved he is among the best in the Premier League right now.

The 29-year-old Colombian registered two goals and one assist for success and with his contribution Everton became the first team with a total of 12 points after 4 wins in 4 games since the start of the season.

Rodríguez joined the Caramels last month after being long dumped by Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid, with many doubting his ability to adapt to the Premier League.

However, the midfielder was all the rage, not only with his goals and assists, but also with his overall presence on the pitch and the way he dictated his team’s play from the right wing.

Each of his touches exudes elegance and mastery, so it has become a tradition that compilations of his plays appear after every game.

Rodriguez is obviously fit and inspired, and against Brighton he had time to play with the ball and showed off his arsenal of feints and passes.

He also demonstrated his excellent positioning and managed to be in the right place at the right time, although he is known not to be among the fastest players. Hames finished the game with 94% passing accuracy after a total of 72 plays, earned five fouls and created two goal positions.

In added time in the first half, he crossed perfectly from a free-kick so Jeri Mina could hit her head and make it 2: 1 for Everton.

After the break, Hames scored two goals to give the hosts a 4-1 lead.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted he was not surprised by what his player was doing on the pitch.

“As I said from day one, the players in the class have no problems adapting. The class is there and football is not that complicated. The playing field is the same, the opponents are always 11, the ball is the same “The door doesn’t move. Football is simple, not complicated,” said the Italian, who coaches Hames in the third team after Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Everton currently top the standings in England, but could be tied for the top by Leicester and Liverpool if both teams win their matches on today’s schedule.
