DBasia.news – Showing an impressive performance in the early days of his journey with the Premiere League club, Everton, James Rodriguez earned a lot of praise from observers of European football sports media. It only took 30 days for the Colombian attacking midfielder to show his abilities with the Toffess.
Rodriguez is even considered to be the best recruit this summer 2020. So much so, Rodriguez’s early appearances with Everton has made several British sports media outlets branded his arrival as ‘the greatest theft of manners’.
“He has become a significant threat in every game. This could be the best theft of this century by Everton if this performance continues,” wrote Sporting Life as quoted Marca, Thursday (8/10).
A few could believe a player of Rodriguez’s quality was available for signing for just 25 million euros due to the situation he faced at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
When with Madrid, Rodriguez was always considered lacking by coach Zinedine Zidane. This then frustrated the Colombian star and he had to be in Los Blancos’ substitute bench.
In difficult situations, Everton then came to bring Rodriguez for free. One of the triggers for the 29-year-old player to join Everton is Carlo Ancelotti, who has worked together at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
But everything is different. Playing for Everton in the last five matches again showed the instinct of Rodriguez’s magical touch. He even often became the man of the mach in every Tofees match when he faced Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Crystal Palace, and Brighton and Hove Albion.
“In just one month on Merseyside, James has surpassed the previous 12 months he had spent in Madrid,” the statement continued.
Everton supporters will hope that his new star can continue his impressive form as the team clashed against Juergen Klopp’s side, Liverpool, while extending Liverpool’s suffering after being humiliated 2-7 at Aston Villa.
