James Rodriguez's stepfather: He's restless because he's not starting
Posted Saturday, June 27, 2020 by Marca.com
James Rodriguez is itching to find more regular minutes with Real Madrid, according to his stepfather Juan Carlos Restrepo.
The Colombian is on the periphery at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and has managed just 77 minutes of football since the restart.
"James is restless," Restrepo told El Carrillo de Mao.
"Because he's not starting, but that doesn't mean he's easing up.
"He's a great professional and he's working hard, hoping it'll happen for him in the next few games."
Zinedine Zidane doesn't seem to have much faith in the player, but Restrepo doesn't believe they have any personal problems.
"I don't think it's anything personal," Restrepo added.
"I think that in his mind he has players above James, and that can happen with or without Zidane.
"It's true that he's had some physical problems and that prevented him from competing for a place in the XI.
"James' commitment is unmatched. He's been a top athlete since he was 15 and has always been a professional."
