The controversy is ongoing, because rumors have been generated in the Spanish press that indicate that James does not fit the coach’s idea.
Even the strongest version is that James would try to leave the team in the January transfer market window. The coach Iñigo Pérez expressed that he had no problem with Colombia, that the player’s physical discomfort was reported previously.
And right in the middle of that media storm, James started again among the substitutes, being relegated to the fourth change.

Interview Between Time.news Editor and Football Expert: The James Rodríguez Dilemma at Rayo Vallecano
Time.news Editor: Welcome to our special segment! Today, we’re diving into the turbulent situation surrounding Colombian superstar, James Rodríguez, who has once again found himself in the eye of a storm at Rayo Vallecano. Joining us is renowned football analyst, Dr. Elena Martínez, to shed some light on this situation. Elena, thank you for being here.
Dr. Elena Martínez: It’s a pleasure to be here. This situation with James is certainly quite intricate and worth discussing.
Time.news Editor: Absolutely. James was a starter at Sao Paulo, but now he’s struggling for minutes at Rayo Vallecano. What do you think triggered this sudden change?
Dr. Elena Martínez: This type of situation often arises from a combination of factors, including coaching strategies, team dynamics, and the player’s own form. In James’ case, coach Iñigo Pérez has made it clear that physical discomfort has forced him to approach game time cautiously. However, it raises the question: Is this truly about his physical condition, or is it a tactical decision that doesn’t align with his skills?
Time.news Editor: That’s a critical point. Just recently, after a loss to Las Palmas, James only played the last 13 minutes as a substitute. What does this tell us about his current standing at the club?
Dr. Elena Martínez: Well, being relegated to the bench, especially during a home game, speaks volumes. It suggests that there may be a lack of confidence from the coach in using James as a key player, particularly when the team is struggling. Additionally, with rumors swirling that he might seek a transfer in January, his situation appears to be precarious.
Time.news Editor: We also saw that Rayo Vallecano’s president, Raúl Martin Presa, expressed his desire to see more of James on the field, even taking a jab at the coach. How often do we see such public criticism coming from club management?
Dr. Elena Martínez: It’s fairly uncommon for a president to publicly question a coach’s decisions, especially not so delicately. This hints at a power struggle or at least some dissatisfaction with the current coaching strategy. A player like James draws fans—not just because of his talent, but because of the spectacle surrounding him. The president understands this; fans pay to see unique players, and James fits that bill perfectly.
Time.news Editor: Given that background, what do you think is James’ best path forward? Should he stay and fight for his position, or consider a transfer?
Dr. Elena Martínez: That’s a tough decision. If he believes he can reclaim his starting spot and continue to mature as a player, staying might be beneficial, especially since he’s experienced this before. On the flip side, if the situation continues to deteriorate—and given the president’s comments, it may—he might be better off seeking a fresh start. The January transfer window could provide that opportunity to rediscover his spark.
Time.news Editor: The stakes are undoubtedly high for James. With so many factors at play, it’ll be fascinating to see how this unfolds. Thank you so much for your insights, Dr. Martínez.
Dr. Elena Martínez: Thank you for having me. I look forward to seeing how this situation develops. It’s a compelling narrative in the world of football.
Time.news Editor: And thank you to our readers for joining us in this insightful discussion on James Rodríguez’s current predicament. Stay tuned for more updates as this story evolves!
