Carlo Ancelotti only had praise for James Rodríguez since a little over a month ago the arrival of the left-handed midfielder was confirmed at Everton. At all times the strategist highlighted the quality of the Colombian and gave him a great vote of confidence by including him in his starting lineup from the first game of the season.
Now the coach referred to James again, but with a confession in between about what the performance of the ’10’ has generated. In an interview with the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, quoted by the Gol Caracol potal, Ancelotti acknowledged being surprised by what he has seen as a former Real Madrid player on the pitch.
Even I am surprised. He had not played since February and it was fair to expect some difficulties in a switch to another type of football, but the enthusiasm and his talent have been a formidable boost”Stated the coach when asked about Rodríguez’s performance.
James had a unique start to the season. In five games played, the Colombian has scored three goals and provided two assists. For his remarkable performances, the left-hander was nominated for the best player in the Premier League award in September and raised his price on the international market.
Now the Colombian and his team will have a tough test this Saturday, when they face Liverpool in the Merseyside derby, for the fifth date of the English league. The Blues are leaders, with 12 points out of 12 contested, while the current champions have three units less.
