[ad_1]

James Rodríguez has already completed his first five games in the Premier League and his performance in English football has been superlative.

The Colombian midfielder has played against Tottenham, West Bromwich Albion, Crystal Palace, Brighton and Liverpool. In almost all of them, except the last one, James was a great protagonist of his team.

An example of this is that Rodríguez Rubio has more participation in goals than games played: he has participated in six goals in only five Premier League dates.

In total James has made three goals and three assists with the Everton jersey, but beyond that he has been the man who makes a difference to Everton football.

Although in the schemes James appears as a midfielder for the right sector, the influence of the Colombian is not only for that sector. During the matches, the cucuteño moves through the center and sometimes changes sectors with Richarlison, taking over the left sector.

James came to the Premier League to become one of the surprise players of the team and little by little he has been making a name for himself in English football.

With his left foot, he has impressed everyone in England and has earned praise. In the development of the game Everton is the man of precision in the last third of the field and in charge of corner kicks, especially from the right sector.

The player who has taken advantage of his quality the most is Lucas Digne, who, despite playing for the other wing, always receives the Colombian’s passes with precision, although Dominic Calvert-Lewin also gets the praise with the great potential that he is demonstrating as a center forward.
