James Rodríguez was the great surprise in the call-up of Reinaldo Rueda, after almost a year of absence from the Colombian National Team. In fact, the last game of the creative with the Tricolor was on November 17, 2020, in the win that the national team suffered, in Quito, 6-1.
Now, being physically fit and with four games played with his new club, Al-Rayyan, the cucuteño hopes to guide the country to a new World Cup, after being part of the teams that qualified for the 2014 Brazil Cup and Russia 2018.
Hours after knowing the call, Rodríguez Rubio spoke on his social networks and with a photo wearing the National Team shirt, accompanied by the Colombian flag and the word ‘back’ (return), the ’10’ expressed his happiness for return to the country and face a new round of Qualifiers against Brazil and Paraguay, next November 11 and 16, respectively.
The direct message from James in his networks generates illusion in the Colombian fans, which, for the most part, requested the return of the creative to the Senior National Team, especially due to the low offensive production the team is currently experiencing. There is no one who puts it to the forwards.
It must be remembered that the Tricolor is fourth in the general classification and is in direct qualification positions for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, so the next two games will be vital to be closer to the goal.
