James feels good… says Pibe Valderrama

From one genius to another. Carlos Pibe Valderrama , legendary midfielder for the Colombian national team, looks from afar at James Rodríguez , who has completed a semester in Mexican soccer and believes he's feeling good .

Valderrama expressed that he sees James happy and that could lead to him having another good semester in the Liga MX .

The truth is that James arrived at Club León , tempted to play in this month's Club World Cup , however, they were blocked from the tournament for being part of the Grupo Pachuca timeshare .

"I don't think he'll leave in the summer; he likes being in Mexico. You can see the atmosphere. I can tell he's happy. I think he can do more. He adapted quickly, played very well, and he's going to stay here in Mexico," he told ESPN.

El Pibe Valderrama , one of the most technical players in the world , reflected on James' tournament in Mexico after it had a large following in his country.

We follow Mexican soccer a lot because it has a lot of Colombian players who have been here for a long time. With James, everyone was eager to see how he would adapt, and he did so quickly; he played very well.

The organizers of the Club World Cup are deprived of a figure

Regarding León's absence and, consequently, James' absence from the Club World Cup , Valderrama was accurate when he pointed out that the organizers are depriving themselves of having a giant figure at that tournament.

"He's losing the Club World Cup. James is a player who draws people, and that's what he was signed for at León. It's a tough blow for everyone in general."

He also spoke about Efraín Juárez , the 2024 Colombian league champion who left at the top of his game after failing to reach an agreement with his Atlético Nacional management, saying, "He left doors open for Mexican coaches. Efraín produced very good results, and that won't be forgotten."
