James Rodriguez (32) has been ‘missing’ from the highest level of football for many years. In the range of São Paulo Brazilian since 2023, a club without him, some have already considered him lost. There are many voices who say that he has played the best games of his sports career.
However, the ‘coffee grower’ was born Cucuta Between my eyebrows Copa America 2024. It’s not enough to call him and Colombia play a good role, but he wants to uncork the jar of essences, shine in his own light and bring out the last trick, that’s for sure. ”I want to win the Copa América”, he said before the tournament. And you’re just one step away from achieving it.
Colombia is in a new Copa América final after 23 years from winning the 2001 edition to Mexico with a purpose Ivan Córdoba, the only time they were champions. Now they will have before them Argentina, who starts as the top favorite, but who will face the ‘reborn’ James Rodríguez and the Colombians’ 28-game unbeaten streak.
He left the real Madrid In time 2019-2020 to get to Everton, a position in which he was not bad (6 goals and 4 assists in 23 games) but the departure of Ancelotti and the arrival of Benítez closed the doors of the Premier. He went to Qatar, passing through Olympiacos and finally ended up in the aforementioned Sao Paulo. Injuries, little adaptation and a career that seems to have a clear destiny: the end of what could and was not.
The passing of the years took away his speed and confidence, but gave him wisdom, experience and the ability to know what he really wanted. He wants to be champion in his Colombia. He wanted to leave his mark in the form of metal in his country. And with or without metal, he left it.
In the Colombian friendlies and the World Cup qualifying playoffs since the arrival of the Nestor Lorenzo on the Colombian bench it is very clear that he is comfortable, happy and ‘floating’ in the coach’s scheme. Buenos Aires. He regained some sensation in the Copa América, leading Colombia to the final. Dribbling, passing, assisting and sense of the game, which friends are within reach of the privileged. One of those born to have the ball between their feet and do tricks. James is not the only one. James is one of those players you turn on the television for or pay a ticket for. He thinks, invents and performs left-handed actions that no one else has even dreamed of. It’s a 10 for life.
With 6 assists and 1 goal in 5 games The left-hander who wowed the world at the 2014 World Cup after many ups and downs is back. Will it be permanent or temporary? Whatever they take from us ‘lo bailao’. Because in this Copa América James danced around the waist of his rivals, he broke the schemes of the coaches and he had an unusual accuracy with his left foot. Whether you win the Copa América or not, your tournament is history. Just like his tears after defeating Uruguay in the semifinals and qualifying for the final.
