Real Madrid’s Colombian offensive midfielder, James Rodriguez, is the last in a move to Everton, with a deadline by the end of this week.
The agreement has been advancing since last week and is expected to be formalized in the next few days. The Spanish newspaper Marca reported that the contract would be for three years, with a payment of about 30 million dollars for Real.
The measure is part of a trio of agreements signed through Everton.They also update Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucouré, while Brazilian Napoli midfielder Allan demonstrated it today through Serie A club President Aurelio De Laurentiis.
At 29, despite his apparent talent, Rodriguez will be a little unknown when he reached Everton, basically because he played very little football last season.
After betting a small role for the 2019/20 League champions at the start of the campaign, a knee injury sustained in the outside service left him out of the league for a few months, but even after recovering from that setback, he controlled one.more presence in the league for the club.
By the end of his time at the Royal, Rodriguez had followed the same path as Gareth Bale; a world-class skill that withers on the outer edge of the team and, in the end, on the outside.
“It’s a smart question, I’d like to know,” James joked with part of Gol Caracol in June when asked why he had made so few appearances with head coach Zinedine Zidane.”It’s confusing when your coach doesn’t give you minutes. It’s hard to show what you can do.I’m not one of the key players, that’s for sure.”
This shady season follows a two-year loan era with Bayern Munich where the Colombian controlled for a short time through Carlo Ancelotti, who now needs to bring him to Everton.
Previously, he had had a longer era than Italian when he first joined Real Madrid in 2014 after this year’s World Cup.
Lionel Messi might have won the Ballon d’Or in this tournament, but it was James who shone in Brazil, completing the most sensible goalscorer and watching his creative volley from outside the uruguay-opposing area named the tournament goal.
His magical moments in South America were too tempting for Real Madrid, which signed the Colombian for about $100 million.Despite generous spending on world football over the next six years, the move remains one of the 20 most sensible paid installments.
Under Ancelotti’s direction at Real Madrid, James has played in a variety of positions, possibly one of the reasons why Everton’s manager needs to take him to Goodison Park, as he has the prospect of bringing elegance and creativity from various starting points.
As a left foot, it can cause damage parked on the right side and cutting internally on your most powerful foot. From a central position, you can play the role of vintage No.10, passing wide passes and advancing his just vision and reading to the right.Ancelotti has also used it from the left, where its delivery is more that of a classic end, although its speed and ability to haggle are not.
The maximum time-to-play he has noticed in recent years has been in the two seasons at Bayern, in which he played 43 Bundesliga games in two seasons, basically as a central offensive midfielder.
If Ancelotti sticks to the 4-4-2 he used at Everton last season, then James will most likely play in one of the wide roles or the striker in a 4-4-1-1-1.As long as you have a position in almost any training, you could be more productive with a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, or even as number 10 in a midfield.diamond land.
“I would say he’s bigger as a striker or as an amateur,” says Colombian football expert Simon Edwards.”He did not offer himself defensively enough to the left of a 4-4-2 when he played there for Colombia.
“As long as he’s free, he’ll do well. Ideally a 10 in a 4-4-1/4-2-3-1, but you can also play as an inverted attacker to the right of a 4-3-3, however, never haggle and possibly never pass outside.
Given Rodriguez’s strategy in dead-ball situations, there is also the option of him to give the centers to his compatriot, central defender Yerry Mina, to be at the end.
This move can have an effect similar to Everton as Philippe Coutinho had through Stanley Park to Liverpool, Rodriguez is greater and there will be no promotion value.
But Everton wants a star at the moment, a star they can shape for a long-term sale, and if everything goes according to plan, James will be the star the club wants now, in the call and in action.
