The Colombian midfielder James Rodríguez, after scoring yesterday with Real Madrid, spoke about Rafael Benitez's departure. What did the Colombian say?
James Rodríguez was important yesterday for Real Madrid to win 4-2 against Athletic Club de Bilbao in the BBVA League. The former AS Monaco player scored one of the white team's goals in the Merengues' victory that took place at the Santiago Bernabéu.
When speaking to the local press,
James Rodríguez spoke highly of his current coach Zinedine Zidane, but left a message between the lines to his ex-coach, Rafael Benítez. "The arrival of the new coach has been good for all of us," said the 'colocha'.
As we recall,
James Rodríguez had one of his toughest moments at Real Madrid when Rafael Benítez was in charge. The Colombian international was a substitute in some matches. He was benched in the coach's last game against Valencia.
Now,
James Rodríguez is already preparing for the match against AS Roma this Wednesday for the Champions League round of 16. The former Porto player wants to continue his streak and bring another 'Orejona' to the team.
