Colombian football legend Carlos Valderrama defends his compatriot James Rodriguez. The forward, worth 80 million euros for Real Madrid, has not impressed with his goals so far, only scoring three times in 12 matches. "James showed his brilliance during the 2014 World Cup. Even though he is young, he has already adapted to the established team," said Valderrama. "Now is an important period for the forward. The transfer fee is normal, and Real paid James' true value. The player is only 23 years old and I hope that James will represent the Madrid team for a long time."
