James Rodríguez Shines in Copa América, but Faces Challenges in São Paulo: What’s Next for the Colombian Star?

James Rodríguez shines in the national team, but suffers in São Paulo, Brazil. The Cucuta native is captaining the national team in what has been an outstanding performance by Colombia in the Copa América so far and his performance could open several doors for him abroad.

The Cúcuta native arrived without playing time to the Colombian National Team after being forgotten by his coach Luis Zubeldía, who only used him for 5 minutes in the classic against Palmeiras and then deleted him.

James Rodriguez’s future is up in the air

Zubeldía launched a strong barb at James Rodríguez in a press conference after leaving it in the air that he was out of shape and demanding more from him in the morning training session. The relationship between the parties seems to have broken down and the left-hander stopped playing.

In Brazil, there is talk of a possible departure of the captain of the Colombian national team from Sao Paulo after the controversies he has experienced in Sao Paulo and the emotional problem he suffered a few weeks before the start of the Copa América.

The Colombian national team is James Rodríguez’s comfort zone, who never stops shining in the midfield of a team led by Néstor Lorenzo and is the conductor of a team that has left very good impressions.

The rebirth in Copa America

The left-footer was the architect of opening up the defense of the ironclad Paraguay in the first match of Group D of the Copa América with two exquisite assists and gave another assist in the rout against Costa Rica.

James Rodríguez knows that the Copa América is a great showcase for him to show off his skills and according to information coming from abroad, the left-hander is on the radar of a Turkish giant.

According to Turkish journalist Serdar Ali Çelikler, the 32-year-old midfielder is being followed by Turkish side Besiktas, who could repatriate the Santander native to Turkey.

“I’m sure Beşiktaş is keeping an eye on James Rodriguez,” the journalist said on the Vole programme.

This is not the first time that James Rodriguez has been linked with the Ottoman side. Last January there was talk of a possible last-minute signing, but his departure from Sao Paulo was not resolved and the negotiation did not come to fruition. Although Besiktas denied the alleged interest at the time.
