James returned in the best possible way after his long absence. He started and scored his team’s goal with an extraordinary shot.
That’s why Ancelotti had nothing but praise for the wheel. “I think he made a fantastic attempt. He didn’t play for a long time, he helped the team a lot, he scored a goal, he played a fantastic game,” Ancelotti said of the Colombian.
Plus, he pointed out that what his team was missing was definition, but there was “ quality ” with James.

“Of course we were better, James put more quality first. Our attackers are mostly clinical for the target, they weren’t and that’s the reason for the point,” Ancelotti said.
James played 79 minutes when he was substituted. Faced with that, Ancelotti noted:
“In the end it didn’t have much energy, so to avoid a problem I took it out.”
James, who missed five games due to physical discomfort, wanted to recover well to return to his best level ahead of the season finale in England.
