James Rodríguez expressing his honor to be praised by his hero, 'El Pibe' Valderrama.
"Rodríguez is mentally sharp, possessing quick reactions when closed down which allows him to keep control of the ball and making him more likely to be fouled. While left footed, he's able to control the ball just as well with his right foot."
(El Pibe' Valderrama)
