James Rodríguez arrives in a brilliant moment at the first match of the Eliminatory that the Colombian National Team will have this Friday, against Venezuela in Barranquilla. The ’10’ of the Tricolor is one of those called to shine in this double round of qualifiers (he faces Chile on October 13), since his level at Everton in England makes fans excited with a stellar performance and influence to seek the first victory, to classify the coffee selected to Qatar 2022.
Undoubtedly, that the Qualifiers have been suspended due to the coronavirus, and have been run from March to October, greatly favored James and the National Team, because if the match against Venezuela had been played on the stipulated date, the midfielder would not be in his best moment.
From March to date, a lot has changed in James’ career. Today he arrives with five games, 4 in the Premier League and 1 in the Carabao Cup; he has scored 3 goals so far and has assisted three times. His good game and talent are on the lips of all the referents of British football, who have surrendered to the hierarchy of the 2014 World Cup scorer.
On the other hand, if James had had to face the game with Venezuela on March 27, the sporting, physical and mental moment of the ’10’ would have been very different. First of all, he was in Real Madrid being ‘one more’, and not the relevant figure that he is in Everton.
At the time, James had not played a Spanish League match for five months, and had only three competitive matches in the first months of this year: all in the Copa del Rey. Also, I would have reached that commitment with 50 days without competing.
Even, as Carlos Queiroz said, if the Qualifier had started in March, James had physical problems and injuries prior to the commitment, which would have left his importance and even his presence in the game in doubt. Now he is in perfect health and in his best mood.
Colombia is excited about James!
