Valderrama claims Zidane DOESN'T like James
This season the young playmaker has struggled for game time under the French manager and could this be why...?
The former Colombia international Carlos Valderrama claims that Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane does not like James Rodriguez.
Earlier this season James suffered a muscle injury and since returning to full fitness he has just started one of Madrid's last five games.
Valderrama said via Periscope, "Even if he scores three, four or five goals, Zidane won't put him on [to play],
"James is a player that he does not like.
"[Carlo] Ancelotti put him on and he played well, and then later with [Rafael] Benitez, but not with Zidane.
"So we do not understand what is happening with him."
