James Rodríguez is world news, hurt whoever hurts. His departure from Olympiacos, two and a half months before the expiration of his contract, disappoints in different corners of the world.

In the country, he was in the news in all sports spaces, almost all of them lamenting another traumatic exit, a talent that has not yet consolidated anywhere, one more illusion of seeing him rebound that is fading.

But in Spain, where they were able to experience their most fruitful time in 2014 with Real Madrid, they are indeed amazed at what is happening with this chapter, if not with James’ career in general.

Jorge García, a journalist for AS from Spain, began by recounting some details of the departure of James Rodríguez as a result of internal problems at Olympiacos, which had already claimed the head of coach Míchel and Brazilian Marcelo.

“After how they built that team, a checkbook hit, with several coach changes up to Míchel… It was a dream project that was shown in Piraeus on the shoulders of the volcanic owner, but it has been falling apart,” he said.

One detail was key, one that only the 10th and his entourage knew about: “James had already seen that Olympiacos would not have him for an economic reason and that is that it was 2.5 million clean per season if he renewed and they were not going to renew it, that has weighed on the player’s head ”.

The journalist acknowledges that DT’s departure was surprising but that it was the product of a lack of “sympathy from a radical sector of the fans”, he says that they questioned his changes and that he tried to accommodate James and Fortounis under pressure, sending the one with the least sign to a band and leaving the Colombian midfielder, but the latter “did not give the level”.

Then he added to the confusion: “Then it was the most expected before the dalliances of James’s career. He is now the most expensive free agent in the world and he is barely 31 years old. We know that he leaves because of a situation in which his ego has devoured him a bit. Anigo arrived, they put him on as a substitute against PAOK but the final mess was in the classic against Panathinaikos, they substituted him and he didn’t take it in the most professional way. Anigo asked James to excuse himself, James said that he didn’t have to excuse himself and that’s the end of the story. Anigo declared that lack of professionalism and the outcome is what we know. James stars in another exit and another disappointment in his career, ”he pointed out.
