Copa America, Colombia – James Rodriguez calls his non-selection a “lack of respect”

James Rodriguez does not take offense. Not summoned to play in the Copa America with Colombia by coach Reinaldo Rueda. The Cafeteros enter the 2021 Copa against Ecuador on Sunday night in Cuiaba.

It must be made clear that I was not bad at all at the moment. I was ready to play the Copa America, it was a decision of the technical staff. I don’t share it, because it’s a lack of respect“, said the Everton attacking midfielder in a video posted to Instagram chatting with Camilo Zúñiga and Teófilo Gutiérrez.

Out of my 80 selections, how many bad matches have I made? Five, ten, maximum. The 70 others, I have always given satisfaction, while no one comes to tell me bullshit“, added the playmaker, one of the achievements of his double against Uruguay in the round of 16 of the 2014 World Cup (2-0) was voted best goal of the tournament.
