James Rodríguez’s move to Minnesota United in MLS labeled as a ‘mistake’ by Colombian legend Willington Ortiz

worldsoccertalk.com · 7 days ago

James Rodríguez arrived as a marquee signing for Minnesota United, aiming to gain competitive rhythm ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. However, he has not enjoyed much prominence, which has led Willington Ortiz to strongly criticize his move to MLS. James Rodríguez has not managed to regain stability since his departure from Real Madrid. While he won the MVP award at the 2024 Copa América, he failed to shine at Rayo Vallecano, moving to Club León, also leaving at the end of the season. After several months, he arrived as a marquee signing for Minnesota United. Due to his lack of prominence, Colombian legend Willington Ortiz has decided to criticize his move to MLS via Bolavip US. “I think the mistake is when a coach doesn’t want you and you still go to that team. You’re not part of his group or the players he trusts, so he’s not going to play you because you’re not his choice. That’s the mistake… He’s at a club where the coach doesn’t want him, didn’t bring him in, so he doesn’t play—just a few minutes. It’s not serious, disrespecting a player of his caliber,” Willington Ortiz said in an exclusive interview with Bolavip US. After confirming his arrival in February 2026 to Minnesota United, James Rodríguez has only managed to play six matches for the MLS side, remaining without any offensive contributions. Despite his undeniable talent, head coach Cameron Knowles has kept him as a regular substitute, even after he impressed in his first MLS start against Los Angeles FC. As a result, the 34-year-old midfielder is at risk of arriving at the 2026 FIFA World Cup without competitive rhythm for Colombia. Willington Ortiz’s criticism is not directly aimed at James but rather at his questionable career decisions. At his last six clubs, he has not been a direct request from his coaches, which has led to his relegation to secondary roles. Since he is neither a box-to-box midfielder nor a pace-driven winger, his profile is more difficult to fit into many tactical systems, making it harder for him to secure a consistent role if the manager does not consider him essential. James Rodríguez #10 of Minnesota United. James Rodríguez no longer Colombia’s cornerstone for 2026 World Cup Over the past 12 years, James Rodríguez has been the cornerstone of Colombia, emerging as a standout player at the 2014 World Cup and the 2024 Copa América. However, he is no longer in his prime, and is no longer the undisputed star of his team. Given his continued and solid performances, head coach Nestor Lorenzo plans to keep him in the starting lineup for the 2026 edition, though he will no longer be the team’s central figure. Luis Díaz has established as one of the best players in the world. Shining with Bayern Munich, he is set to be the central figure for Colombia at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With this structure, James would shift into a role focused on enhancing the 29-year-old star’s performance, aiming to elevate his output both in goalscoring and creativity. In light of this, the 34-year-old is expected to take on more of a leadership role, while still competing for a place in the starting lineup.

Report: PSG’s Achraf Hakimi suffers hamstring tear, out vs Bayern but avoids 2026 World Cup scare

worldsoccertalk.com · last week

PSG managed to defeat Bayern Munich in one of the best Champions League matches in recent years. Despite holding the lead, they suffered a major setback when Achraf Hakimi tore his hamstring, ruling him out of the second leg, though his hopes of playing in the 2026 World Cup remain intact. Despite going behind early, Paris Saint-Germain managed to turn the game around, securing a tense 5–4 victory and leaving the tie wide open for the second leg of the Champions League semifinals. Adding to the challenge, head coach Luis Enrique will be without Achraf Hakimi, who has been diagnosed with a hamstring tear. Even so, the Moroccan is not expected to risk his participation in the 2026 World Cup. According to Fabrice Hawkins via RMC Sport, Achraf Hakimi has been diagnosed with a hamstring tear, ruling him out of the second leg of the Champions League semifinals against Bayern Munich. Despite this setback, he could return in time if the French side qualifies for the final. With that in mind, the Moroccan is also not expected to risk his participation in the 2026 World Cup, which comes as a major relief for his national team. In his place, head coach Luis Enrique is expected to rely on Warren Zaïre-Emery, as Fabián Ruiz has returned and will start in midfield again, according to Fabrice Hawkins. Without the Moroccan, PSG lose one of their most structural players, given his importance both defensively and in building attacking plays. However, the presence of the young French midfielder could prove key in ball progression, strengthening the midfield and allowing João Neves more freedom. Alongside the Moroccan’s absence, Paris Saint-Germain will also be without Lucas Chevalier after he picked up an injury in the latest training session, reveals Fabrice Hawkins. As the backup goalkeeper, his absence does not pose a major issue for head coach Luis Enrique, who is expected to trust on Renato Marin as backup in his place while calling up a youth player to fill the third spot. PSG stars Achraf Hakimi and Lucas Chevalier. Hakimi’s absence could prove beneficial for Bayern Munich’s Luis Diaz Achraf Hakimi has established as one of PSG’s best players. Although the Moroccan didn’t contribute much offensively, he did become a key player in containing Bayern Munich’s Luis Diaz by constantly pressuring him and matching his explosive speed. Without him in the second leg, the German side may have far more opportunities to mount a comeback, as the Colombian have shines with his dribbling skills and speed. Unlike the Moroccan, Warren Zaïre-Emery does not stand out as strongly on the defensive end, nor does he possess the same pace. As a result, Luis Díaz could have more opportunities to shine, as he already did in the first leg. To compensate defensively, João Neves may play a key role by supporting the French midfielder, creating a 2v1 dynamic to limit dangerous situations.
