Rodriguez James is a young but already well-known Colombian football player who currently plays for the position of midfielder for Real Madrid and his national team.

Biography and the beginning of a career

First I would like to tell a couple of interesting biographical facts about this player. He was born in 1991, on July 12, in a place called Kukuta. Generally, Rodriguez James is better known as Hames. He does not like his name and prefers a nickname. Just a name he gave his father (very early left the family) - a former Colombian football player. And he wanted to connect his life with this sport thanks to the cartoon "Captain Tsubas".

It is interesting that a young footballer is married to a girl who belongs to David Ospine, the goalkeeper of the Colombian national team. True, the goalkeeper has nothing to do with their acquaintance. With the goalkeeper, Hames got acquainted with his brother's brother, and only a couple of years later they became partners in the team.

A football activity Colombian originates in 1995. It is worth recalling that at that time he was only 4 years old. Hames from early childhood was engaged in this sport, and from 1995 to 2005 he played and studied in the youth "Envigido". Together with this club, he won the Pony Cup in 2004.

The player had successes, and so at the age of 15 he played for the main part of "Envigido". His debut there took place in the second half of 2006. In the following, 2007, Hames already scored his first goal. And in many respects thanks to him the team won in the second division of the Colombian championship. These successes were observed by representatives of the national team and other clubs, because soon he was invited to the youth national team of Colombia.

In 2008, in January, Rodriguez James moved to FC "Banfield" (Argentina). But the debut on a professional level took place only in 2009, in February. And in his second match he already scored the first goal for the new team. So Hames broke two records. First, he became the youngest foreign player in the history of the Argentine championship. The second record was similar. He became the youngest foreign player who scored in the Argentine championship.

Going to the "Port"

In 2009, James Rodriguez came to the attention of the Italian club "Udinese". Representatives of this team offered $ 3 million for half the player's contract. But the deal was not destined to take place. She broke. Because Hames stayed with the former club until the "Porto" did not make him a profitable proposal. Then James Rodriguez agreed and went to the Portuguese club for a sum of 5.1 million euros. In this case, "Banfield" has preserved 30 percent of the rights to the player.

In the first match (he was going against "Ajax") he scored a goal, thus ensuring his new team victory. In the next game, which was already against FC Maritimo, he also sent the ball into the opponents' goal. But, in addition, he also performed two assists. Soon the Colombian showed himself in the European arena, in a match against CSKA Moscow (from Sofia). Contract Hames extended in 2011. And the contract indicated that the potential buyer club, in case of a desire to acquire Rodriguez, will have to pay 45 million euros.

The last clubs

True, he made the first goal only in late November - it was a game against FC "Rennes". And let this season, James Rodriguez did not win a single trophy, but he helped the club to take the second place in the championship.
