James Rodríguez had to stop again and alarms went off in Sao Paulo. The Colombian player missed his team's two most recent matches in the Brazilian Championship.
During that period there was a lot of movement in the club. First, after the 2-1 defeat against Flamengo, coach Thiago Carpini was fired. His replacement was Milton Cruz as interim, who led this weekend in the 0-3 victory against Atlético Goianense.
According to Globoesporte, James had “a grade 1 muscle injury in one of the Colombian's thighs,” which gave him between eight and ten days of disability. His last game was on April 13, in a 1-2 defeat against Fortaleza, on the first date of the Brasileirao.
James says it's okay and fights back.
When asked if he was injured, he responded: “No. I had a problem in training on Monday, but I'll be there next week. So it wasn't anything serious, thank God.” assured the player.
James took the opportunity to make a mockery of the journalists. “The press… don't believe in all that, you know that many lies are told. Many times the press does not inform, but misinforms,” he said. And then he added: “Many times not, always. “I just didn’t mean to be so harsh.”
Zubeldía, former coach of Independiente Medellín, hopes to have the full squad and that everyone has a good shape to play. “It is important to have all the players at the best possible level, whatever they are called,” he said in his presentation.
“The team is above any name, but not all human beings are equal. So, in management with a player you have to talk in one way, understand where to hit the key and with another in another way, because the ages are different, the cultures within a squad are different,” he added.
