James, public enemy number one

Nobody is very clear that true James Rodriguez. It is true that technical profile Benitez often seek a scapegoat within the team to demonstrate his power: cases should be recalled Sanchis Capello, Mourinho with Pedro Leon and now with Hazard at Chelsea and Benitez himself with Terry also at Chelsea.

But one of the best players, if not the best right now, the template is elected seems to have no meaning.

James Rodriguez has simply done his job when injuries have allowed. The Colombian arrived in great shape after the Copa America, but Benitez told him from the beginning. Still, every time I stepped on the pitch, James wore his class on the grass, and against Betis-also signed two real screamers.

After recovering from his injury problems they began. In a gala of GQ James he said the 15 days had well physically and that if more was not played because Benitez did not consider it necessary. The technician did not feel well the words of the attacker, which was perhaps why a substitute in a key match for the white team like Sevilla. In the second part, the Colombian jumped the field and was the only player who kicked a little team and even scored the 2-3 to the whites.

Their participation in the Classic was blamed on the directive of the club to play with "the best" in the most important game, but in the field posiciíon condemned to wander the same as a poor ghost. Benitez's true intentions were against Shakhtar, as James sat on the bench and did not play a single minute. Danilo, Kroos and Benzema did have minutes, and the Colombian was so clearly marked as the great survivor Classic because it was the only player who could not recover on the field - apart from Navas, who had day off as the team He was mathematically qualified for the second round.

In Colombia the fans do not understand the reason for this fixation with James, and why it has made its star in the pillory, but all are clear that the former Monaco will flip the situation because even the most foolish Coaches could contain the flow of a football genius like James Rodriguez.
