Madness for James Rodríguez in Arabia. What happened with his debut?

The day awaited by James Rodríguez arrived, he made his debut with Al-Rayyan and despite losing 3-0 against Al-Duhail, his first game with the Qatari team was all the rage. Even so, the transmission of the game was in charge of Al Kass Channel and due to the large number of followers that the Colombian has in different parts of the world, the page collapsed!

James signed with his new team early last month after defending the Everton colors after his transfer caused a sensation around the world. Clubs from different leagues seemed to be interested in the 30-year-old midfielder and it was finally Al-Rayyan who can pay for his pass. Even so, it took him a while to debut and the expectations of seeing him in his new shirt grew.

At the beginning of October, the coach of the team Laurent Blanc, commented in a press conference that the Colombian had a muscular discomfort so we would have to wait to see him making his debut with the shirt and the medical team was going to be in charge of defining when it would be the right time. Finally that day arrived this Sunday and the signal was saturated by the number of fans who joined to watch the match.

Al-Rayyan visited Al-Duhail and although the focus was on what the Colombian could do, they lost 3-0. At 3 minutes, the locals opened the scoring thanks to the definition of Edmilson Junior and then Almoez Ali extended the lead. Finally at 55 minutes Michael Olunga closed the match with the third and final goal.
