The first date of the Premier League came to an end and James Rodríguez finished as one of the most outstanding players of the day. The Colombian midfielder shone in his debut with Everton who beat Tottenham 1-0 as a visitor and created five goal options for his team.
The ’10’ of the Colombian National Team integrated the XI Ideal of the first day made by former English footballer Garth Crooks, who wore the shirts of Stoke City, Tottenham, Manchester United and West Bromwich Albion, for the BBC. James shares the shuttlecock alongside Newcastle’s Jeff Hendrick and Arsenal’s Willian.
“When I heard that Carlo Ancelotti had lured James Rodriguez to Goodison Park, it was clear that Everton’s days of mediocrity were over. The Colombian looked extremely comfortable in a renewed midfield that surpassed the Spurs“, said the former striker.
“With Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure with Rodríguez, the Toffees seem quite capable of at least finishing in the top six. By contrast, Tottenham’s signings seem less inspiring. Worrying times for the Spurs, “he added.
The Colombian midfielder received several accolades after his first game in the Everton jersey, including technical director Carlo Ancelotti praising the work done by the player in London. “James is not the fastest player in the world but he has a lot of quality, so we have to use it to show its quality“.
The next challenge for James and the Liverpool team will be in the Carabao Cup in which they face Salford City, of the fourth division, in the second round.
