If there is anyone authorized to speak of James Rodríguez, it is Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian strategist has become a godfather for the Colombian throughout his career, having it in Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and now in Everton.

Precisely, after the impact of the Colombian in the Premier League, the 61-year-old strategist again referred to the arrival of the cucuteño in England, assuring that “James was desperate to find a club that believed in him.”

“James wanted to play, he was desperate to play, to find a club that believed in him, to find a coach who believed in him. I’m sure when James feels accepted, loved, he’s going to have great performances, “Carletto said on the Man in Blazers podcast.

Likewise, the strategist emphasized the role of the 29-year-old creative on the pitch, noting that the main characteristic of the midfielder is to generate goal opportunities and not run after the ball:

“James is not a physical player. He is technical, he is talented. You have to use him for his qualities. If I ask him to run the 90 minutes up and down he will not do it, but if I ask him to have good ball possession, make good passes, score goals, he will be available to do so, “he concluded.

The next challenge for the ’10’ of the Colombian National Team will be this Saturday against Burnley for the 11th date of the Premier League. Everton must win if they want to move up the standings, otherwise they will start to drift away from international competition spots.
