And the change in James can be seen in his attitude, in his face, in the smile he has recovered and that contrasts with his obvious discomfort at Real Madrid.

The change has been total, as the sports psychologist points out Marcelo roffe, who was part of José Pékerman’s coaching staff in the Colombian National Team and who knows James well.

Because he goes from a great, a monster, from a team such as Real Madrid and a League such as the Spanish League to the Premier League. In my view, it is the best league in the world today, where the best coaches are: Guardiola, Mourinho, Ancelotti, Klopp, Bielsa and Arteta, the Spanish. On the other hand, the best players in the world, so that for him is a new motivation, “said Roffe in statements to ‘Marca’.

That is something more than invisible training such as nutrition, rest, physical training against shift, technical training, etc. Here what must be said is that the decisive thing, in this case, is the coach who is doing a transformation of the city, of the team and that it chose James as its main flag and that it is making the city that only breathed Liverpool, and that is the best team in the world, now have a ‘Jamesmania’. They make songs for him, someone else tattoos it, etc … “, Roffe said.
