For James Rodríguez, after his threat to resign and his request for forgiveness, everything that comes will be an opportunity to show that he deserves the patience they have for him.
And for that, what better than a classic, a carat match in Brazil. What better than Sao Paulo vs Palmeiras, this Sunday, March 3, at 4:00 pm (Colombian time) at the Morumbi stadium.
The Colombian is coming off his first game of the year, with a goal and assist in the 3-0 victory, and giving a good feeling, although the rival was the modest Inter de Limeira, which gave advantages and allowed his team to become leader of the Group D in the Paulista Championship. Now he will collide with a ‘verdao’, he is in a great moment and undefeated in the championship, which is undoubtedly another level.
It will be, if he has minutes, the Colombian’s second derby after that painful 5-0 in which he was replaced after the first half, a celebration for Richard Ríos’s team, who provided assistance.
So the plate is served The so-called ‘Majestic Classic’ between Sao Paulo and Corinthians, whose precedent was a local victory on September 30, 2023 (2-1) is the opportunity to gain minutes and confidence. It’s one more opportunity that James can’t waste.
