In search of evolution in São Paulo, James Rodríguez is not satisfied with the results of the transition.
In search of conditioning and better rhythm, James Rodríguez was not satisfied just with the training given by Dorival Júnior and his coaching staff at Barra Funda CT. Wanting more space in São Paulo, the Colombian also works abroad. With the 1-0 victory over Cruzeiro on Wednesday (2), Tricolor had two days off and returned to action on Sunday afternoon (5). But this time, James didn't sit still. Over the weekend, the midfielder continued with private training away from home. In addition to training at the gym, at home he uses an exercise bike, even does functional work and even uses a basketball. The musicians themselves shared the recordings on social media with the caption: “Don’t see the work behind the scenes.” ➡️ Everything about Tricolor is now available on WhatsApp. Follow our new Lance channel! São Paulo Hired in July, the 2014 World Cup star's first seasons were not as expected. In the first few games, he still didn't get a place in the starting lineup. Against LDU, in the quarter-finals of the Copa Sudamericana, James Rodríguez wasted a penalty, leading to Tricolor's elimination from the competition. At Fortaleza, in the Brazilian Championship, he made the same mistake again. In a penalty kick taken during the match, against Morumbi, he took responsibility for the penalty, but didn't hit it well. However, he sought redemption in the same game and scored the team's only goal, in a 2-1 defeat. Since the beginning of his career, he has played just one full game - with emphasis on the game against Fortaleza, where he played the full 90 minutes. . However, the difficult start never affected the coaching staff's view of the player. Before arriving at São Paulo, James Rodríguez spent almost five months without playing, after playing for Olympiacos, in Greece. But the coaching staff is completely confident. The idea is to continue working, believing in the development of the player, who is seen as having more potential and showing increasingly more effectiveness. With Cruzeiro, for example, many of the worst games went their way. James Rodríguez appears more in the area and contributes more creatively as well. In the final call-up of the Colombian team, James played as number 10, sometimes even as a “false 9”. The player controls all attacks, entering deep into the area to finish.
