The phrase is now eight years old, but it is still valid. “I play with the National Team until I’m lame,” said James Rodríguez at the Copa América Centenario in 2016. Today, at almost 33 years old, the ’10’ continues to have a special fire when he puts on the yellow shirt.

The still player from Sao Paulo left applauded by the Colombian fans, who filled him with encouragement since he came out for the previous warm-up. On the court, James responded with a good game, with a lot of participation and always asking for the ball.

One of the plays that made the stands burst into applause happened midway through the first half. After a change of front from the left, James practically left the ball dead with spectacular control, before touching first so that Daniel Muñoz, projected to attack, made a strike to avoid losing a tremendous luxury.
James also had a clear goal option, shortly before leaving the field and with the match already 1-2 in favor of Colombia: his shot made goalkeeper Matthew Turner demand.
The ovation with which James was fired was deserved and then, those who entered, such as Juan Fernando Quintero, Luis Sinisterra and Jorge Carrascal, shone to seal a historic win for Lorenzo’s team, which arrives in very good shape for the Copa América .
