Rafael Benitez thinks Rodriguez realized that he has to improve in many things. James has to focus, he has to show his commitment. That’s what James Rodriguez is trying to do, and it’s good for them.

If James stays with them, it is good news for them, because he can give them something more. they don’t doubt the quality, they need to make sure they have players playing for 90 minutes at the intensity they are looking for. Each player has his own characteristics, and some games where he can be a difference.

If Rodriguez stays with them, they need to find the right games for him, and he needs to show his commitment and his desire. This is what his teammates, fans and staff have been waiting for. If Rodriguez can do it, he can contribute to the team.

Rafael Benitez added that he trains with the team. Obviously they were talking about his future and they had some clubs interested. James Rodriguez is still here, training with the rest of his teammates. Match fitness means he has to play games and he has to play games in a row. At the moment Benitez thinks he is a little behind the others.

According to Benitez, the team is doing well, the players understand what they want to do. James must understand this. Then they should try to bring the best from each player, in which case he should adapt to the team and they will try to get the best from everyone.
