After his brief stint in the Premier League, James Rodriguez breaks his silence and points the finger at the culprit for his failure
James Rodriguez points at one guilty person… it's not the one you expect.
James Rodriguez began to shine in the 2014 World Cup with Colombia, when he still belonged to Porto of Portugal, and came from playing for AS Monaco as well. From that World Cup, he began his career in the elite, as Real Madrid signed him as a star signing for 80 million euros.
What seemed to be the beginning of a dream at Real Madrid, ended up being a nightmare for the Colombian, as he met Rafa Benitez and Zinedine Zidane, and neither of them liked him, as they preferred him to use him as a constant sub instead of a starter.

Now, James shares that he is to blame for his failure in England: "The coach told me on the first day of the preseason 'look, you're already old, you're 30 years old, I prefer to have young people, people with a lot of strength, with a lot of energy, who run, so find yourself a club'." and after three months, he's out".
Where is James Rodriguez now?
Now, James Rodriguez is at Olympiacos of Greece, trying to rescue his soccer career. In fact, he was chosen this week as the best player of the month in the Greek league. The Colombian was close to joining Valencia before joining the Greek club, however, he will have to try again in the near future.
