James Rodríguez is the leader of the Colombian National Team. He is a daring and goal-scoring number 10. The Bayern Munich star will also be in charge of making the José Pékerman's team play, which will seek to be a protagonist in the 2018 Russia World Cup.
James Rodríguez is expected to establish himself as the natural leader of the Colombian National Team, so Japan, Poland, and Senegal should be attentive to the midfielder's performance. How can they do it?
"They ask me to pass the ball to James Rodríguez so he doesn't retreat so much, because we know that he is important upfront," revealed Mateus Uribe, the Colombian National Team midfielder who has been establishing himself as a key player in José Pékerman's team.
Evidently, Pékerman's initial idea is for the central midfielders to recover the ball in order to quickly deliver it to James Rodríguez. This way, the Bayern Munich player will find the necessary spaces to do damage.
"Perhaps we are a team with different possibilities. We have players who will solve things upfront and one should come as a surprise from behind. The spotlight is on Falcao and James, but one can surprise," added Mateus Uribe.
