Real Madrid star James Rodriguez has spoken about the blocked move to Atletico Madrid by Real.
The star from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, signed for Real six years back but has been unable to maintain a steady career at the Spanish capital. He has played out on loan in Bayern and Zidane has been less than keen on using him for reasons unknown.
Rodriguez has now revealed that Real has intentionally ruined his career by even refusing to let him leave for a transfer fee simply so that they do not let a good player be used by others and at the same time not using him at Madrid either.
“They didn’t let me go to the club I wanted to go to. They wanted me to go to another team,” James Rodríguez confessed in his interview with Gol Caracol.
“There was a very good proposal from a Spanish team, I would not like to say the name of the team, which Madrid rejected.
“I started pre-season with Madrid without wanting to. I also had an offer from Italy but it didn’t convince me.
“My agent Jorge Mendes told me Real Madrid had an offer from China, but I wasn’t ready to go there because I feel I can give a lot more in Europe.
“Honestly, they didn’t let me go to the club I wanted to play for. They wanted me to go to another team. ”
When asked why he hasn’t played more often: “It’s a good question, I’d like to know too,” Rodriguez said.
As I’ve said before, when you win trophies with players you trust and you have a settled team, it’s difficult to change.
“It’s also complicated when your coach doesn’t give you minutes. It’s hard to show what you can do.”
“There hasn’t been any kind of problem [with Zidane]. “Each coach has his preferences. We have a normal working relationship… I’m not one of the key players, that’s clear.
“I’m training and working so that when it’s my turn, I do well.”
This is not the first time Real has been accused of doing so and the world’s biggest club may also be the world’s most heartless club when it comes to pure football – their buying and selling and use and discarding of talents like utility products have been long criticized – but Spanish media are all but brave to impose on the riches of Real Madrid.
Shame.
