James Rodríguez, the ’10’ of the Colombian National Team, will wear the number 19 in Everton in England, his new team and in which it was announced this Monday, September 7. Icelandic Gilfy Sigurdsson has jersey number ten, and James David couldn’t have it in his first season; So he chose the ’19’, a number that is very familiar to the coffee grower, as it is a figure that haunts him and that has marked his life and career.

Let’s play with the numbers: he was born on July 12, which is the seventh month of the year. 12 + 7 = 19. What year were you born? 1991! In other words, on his date of birth, the 19th appears on three occasions.

Another pearl is more about football and its games: 1 + 9 = 10. That is, it is still a ’10’ in its own way. It reminds Iván Zamorano at Inter, without being able to remove the ‘9’ from Ronaldo, he used the 1 + 8.

But let’s get more serious and less superstitious. James had the ’19’ in Envigado, his first team. Then, with that same number, he made his debut in Europe with Porto de Portugal. Then he obtained the ’10’ in that same team, in Monaco and in his first cycle with Real Madrid.

He then wore the ’11’ at Bayern Munich and the ’16’ on his return to Madrid.

The ’19’ reminds one of his detractors

One of the Colombians who has been the most critical of James Rodríguez is Freddy Rincón. In fact, the new Everton player recently confessed that he had in his memory the comments that the ‘Colossus of Buenaventura’ has made of him.

Curious: the ’19’ identified Rincón in his brilliant time for the Colombian National Team. He also used it in the América de Cali. Something they share the pair of cracks.
