Former Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez has disclosed that he’s better player than Zinedine Zidane and Luka Modric.
Speaking on Edu Aguirre’s Los Amigos de Edu, James first discussed his initial move to Real: “During the World Cup, (agent) Jorge Mendes told me that Real Madrid wanted me.
“He warned me and said, ‘Don’t lose focus, okay,’ and that gave me more strength. Right after that was the game against Japan, when I came on and scored a goal, then against Uruguay I scored two goals.

“When he told me that, it gave me more strength. I was 22 years old and I said, ‘Now I have to play better’, and that’s when I got the World Cup Golden Boot.”
He continued: “(Manchester) City and PSG also wanted me. They offered me a lot of money, very high salaries compared to those being paid right now, but I chose Madrid because Florentino (Perez, president) called me and said: ‘Glory or silverware?’ I’ve always been a Real Madrid fan, Real Madrid is Real Madrid.
