J.Rodriguez: I want to become the new A.Di Maria in Madrid's "Real" team

The star of the Colombian national team James Rodriguez emphasized that he wants to follow in the footsteps of Angel Di Maria in the Madrid team "Real".

A. Di Maria played for the "white" team from 2010, but in the summer he moved to "Manchester United" club. J. Rodriguez hopes to achieve as much as the Argentine.

"Angel is a great footballer. He made history in Madrid and I have a great respect for him," said the 23-year-old midfielder.

"I have only arrived at Real now, but I also want to make history with this team. I feel great and want to do what the coach expects from me. I simply want to contribute to victories," added J. Rodriguez.

This season, J. Rodriguez has already won one title with Real - the UEFA Super Cup.
