James Rodriguez: There was never a problem with Zidane, he's a good guy LaLiga Santander - Real Madrid Took part in an interview with Bocas

Despite struggling for playing time under formerReal Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, James Rodriguez has insisted that there was never a problem with the Frenchman.

His lack of playing time under Zidane ultimately led to his Real exit and resulted in him joining Bayern Munich, where he is still plying his trade.

In an interview with Bocas magazine, James reflected on his career to date and the men who have coached him throughout.

"There was never any problem with Zidane and he is a good guy," the Colombian said.

"The most important coaches for me were Julio Cesar Falconi, Carlo Ancelotti and Jose Pekerman.

"When Pekerman came to Colombia, there was no winning mentality and with him, we went out on the field feeling like 'today, Colombia win this!'

"He changed the mentality and always had us wanting to win so that is his legacy: he completely changed our football."

The former Porto man also attempted to share an insight into how he views himself when he looks in the mirror.

"I consider myself a calm person, someone who always wants to be around his people and I feel that I'm a good person," he added.

The most amusing moment of the interview came when they asked him which team he chooses when he plays FIFA on the PlayStation.

"Firstly I always pick Bayern or Madrid and secondly, I always want to put in James Rodriguez. I try to score with that star!" he laughed.
