James Rodriguez, who had declared in December that he would most probably look to move from Real Madrid in the winter transfer window, has changed his mind and is now set on showing his worth at 'Los Blancos'.

The Colombian star was in jubilant mood following his brace in Real's 3-0 win over Sevilla in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night and sent a message to the club and the fans.

"Everybody on the team wants to play and consequently everybody can go through some rough moments, " Rodriguez said.

"But now, a new year is starting for me. I am staying, I am going ot stay at Real Madrid."

Rodriguez's first goal against Sevilla was a work of art but the midfielder stayed humble when asked to comment the reaction of Bernabeu fans to his masterpiece.

"I just want to do well whenever I get the chance to play, produce some nice things as I did today and help the team score goals," he said.
