However, he was critical of his injuries.
“São Paulo is going to hire a player who technically has nothing to discuss, but his repertoire is full of injuries. I have already asked the people in São Paulo: ‘How did you come to the conclusion that it is a safe contract, with a good margin of safety?’ Oh, we hear A, B, the doctors. But who’s to guarantee that a guy who gets hurt all the time won’t get hurt more? He is going to be Renato Augusto from São Paulo, obviously. Renato Augusto this week is in the get up; I am one of the people who praises Renato Augusto the most, but he only plays football in 2023 because he is very professional,” said the experienced journalist.
On the quality of James, the journalist highlighted his ability and announced that a lot is expected of him: “I don’t know if James has all that desire, that desire of Renato, but he is going to play some games, goes to show its quality that is well above average and he is going to score beautiful goals, spectacular pass, those ball killers, the turn of the game, the public will applaud. Except that the tendency, unless he wields magic here in Brazil to not hurt himself so much, is that he plays away, plays away. There is an important match, James will play as Renato Augusto”.
He is not the only one, ESPN commentator Vitor Birner, analyzed that “it is a risky contract” due to the physical issue. “I prefer to wait,” he says.
