The Colombian midfielder from Real Madrid, with no space in Zidane’s team, was in the German team in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons.
“Jupp Heynckes had a very special connection with players that went beyond soccer. James (Rodríguez) is a good example of this. We knew that this player was of very high quality, but he could not take him to the field for a long time. Jupp looked after him and we saw a great James who became an important part of the team. ”
This is what Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said about the contribution that Heynckes made in the Colombian midfielder, when they met at Bayern Munich, in Germany.
Iván Ramiro Córdoba: “I hope to see James at Inter, that he can replace me at San Siro”
It should be remembered that the Colombian, who signed for the ‘Bavarian’ team in 2017, could not consolidate after the departure of Carlo Ancelotti and was losing prominence, but with the arrival of Heynckes he was able to show his talent.
Finally, Rummenigge highlighted the good work of Jupp in his last season with Bayern in which he managed to be crowned champion of the Bundesliga.
