In the course of his career, Colombia -Superster James Rodriguez has no shortage of defenders, fans and even his own coaches frustrated. Rarely has he touched the mood of the opposition manager in the same way as on Wednesday evening.
In action for the new club Leon in Mexico, the former Real Madrid -man was involved in a Fracas with the Chivas Guadalajara -Bank. On the touchline was Oscar Garcia Junyent, another recent import from the Spanish game. After the manager was pushed, he almost lost his balance and needed the help of those on the couch to prevent him from not falling over.
He did not take with this in a friendly way. Without putting much strength in the action, the former Celta Vigo manager and the youth coach of Barcelona were seen who kick it out in Rodriguez, and then received a red card.
Rodriguez took an assist for the first goal in a 2-1 victory for Leon on Chivas, before he was replaced by former real betis midfielder Andres Guardado. The 33-year-old starts again after a failed period in Rayo Vallecano, who registered in Vallecas at the end of August. James succeeded in only 7 performances and an assist, of which only two started.
The Colombia Superstar only started his third game for Leon, but was already more productive than he was at Rayo, making it a goal and an assist. Garcia arrived in Mexican football in December and is only four games in his enchantment with Chivas, after Stints in France and Belgium with Reims and Leuven respectively.
Rayo manager Inigo Perez was blamed for the lack of success of James at Vallecas and claimed that he did not know how to get the best out of the Copa America player of last year's tournament. Nevertheless, it looked difficult from the start in a hard printing system under Perez.
