James Rodríguez is in the news in a league like Qatar’s almost every day, in every training session, in the most everyday scenes.
This Monday the team did its first formal training with the new coach Nicolás Córdova, ahead of this Tuesday’s duel vs. the Umm Salal, for the Emir’s Cup.
On their social networks, the club shared images of that first of the new boss, after the announcement of the departure of Laurent Blanc, who never managed to find his way back to the team, today in ninth place in the standings, with 18 units.
The video shows the players walking past the camera and waving, but just as it was James’ turn, who seemed unaware he was being recorded, blurted out, “Don’t say we’re already started.”
For James this new stage is undoubtedly encouraging, with his previous DT he did not achieve the results that were requested but with Córdova, who will speak to him in his own language and will surely guarantee competition, the history of the Qatar League can change. That could be good news when the final challenge of the Colombian National Team in the Qualifiers to Qatar is 40 days away, the match against Bolivia that will be either a rebirth of hope or a definitive closure of the option of going to the World Cup.
