Carlos Antonio Vélez expressed himself after James Rodríguez scored two goals with Al-Rayyan in the Qatar League and celebrated that he is recovering his level and rhythm, facing the South American Qualifiers, because he will be able to give a hand to the Colombian National Team and keep it in direct classification positions in the leaderboard.
In his column on ‘Palabras Mayores’ on Antena 2, Carlos Antonio spoke about competitive players for the Colombian National Team and that all players are needed, such as Juan Fernando Quintero and James Rodríguez: the first one returns to River Plate, after playing in China; and the ’10’ with his present in Al-Rayyan.
Of course, Vélez decried the Qatar League and said that it was logical that if James “got serious”, he would shine in the Middle East.
“It is the same thing that is happening with James. Yes, this is a chimba league, we know. Not standing out there would be ridiculous and disastrous. If he got serious, we knew he was going to stand out. He will have to get there, because he plays next to a lot of bollards, smurfs, so it is the opportunity for him to compete again, to have confidence, to play and to have minutes. So yes! “
“Not like those who said James on one leg was better than everyone. Nobody, not Messi! That is a story, “added Vélez, who said that” so they summon him first to the National Team. As it came last time, it was disrespectful. Now yes, he is coming back, playing and scoring goals. We need Quintero on the same wavelength… everyone ”.
