The situation of James Rodríguez at Rayo Vallecano has generated constant debate among fans and the press, who seek to understand why one of the team's international stars has had so little participation this season. In response to the repeated questions about the Colombian, Íñigo Pérez, the coach of Rayo, has finally decided to give a clear explanation, showing his discomfort with the constant questioning about James's lack of minutes.

"I am delighted that he is here. But I think I have made my idea clear. In his case, he comes from a great negativity; despite being the best, he can get injured just like everyone else. I choose those who I believe are the best to win that match. I am a coach who tries to maintain contact and be close, especially off the field, in sports decisions and training."

James Rodríguez arrived at Rayo Vallecano with the reputation of being one of the club's most illustrious signings in recent times. The Colombian midfielder, with a history of playing for major clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Everton, in addition to his iconic participation in the 2014 World Cup, raised great expectations. Fans expected to see the James who dazzled with his skills and vision, adding quality and creativity to the midfield of the Madrid team.

However, his reality at Rayo has been different. So far this season, James has not enjoyed the continuity that many had anticipated. He has spent much of the matches on the bench, generating growing frustration among fans, who believe his talent is not being adequately utilized.

In recent press conferences, Íñigo Pérez has been bombarded with questions about the reason for James's limited participation. Although on previous occasions the coach tried to sidestep the issue with general answers about the competitiveness of the squad or the need for the player to adapt, this time he decided to be more specific, expressing his position with a certain fatigue.

Meanwhile, Rayo fans will have to be patient and trust that James's talent will finally flourish under the guidance of Íñigo Pérez, who remains firm in his tactical convictions. Time will tell whether James Rodríguez can establish himself as the star everyone expects or if his time at Vallecas will be just another anecdote in his illustrious career.
