Since arriving in Everton, James Rodríguez has shown his category match by match. It is not without reason that he has five goals and eight assists in the various local championships (Premier, Carabao, FA).
Now one of his biggest attacking partners is Richarlison, a Brazilian forward who has been with the club for several years. Proof of his good fit was the first score against Liverpool in the last Merseyside Derby, the Colombian controlled and filtered a phenomenal pass for his teammate to define Alisson’s departure.
In dialogue with the team’s official website, the 23-year-old footballer spoke about his good relationship with James on the field and took the opportunity to fill him with praise.
“And with James we are doing well on the field, the connection is great and our attack works very well.“, he pointed.
Finally, he remembered the help the cucuteño gave him in a match against Sheffield for the FA Cup, just when he was “upset” that his only goal of the season up to that point was a penalty kick.
In this sense, the club regrets that the attacking trio Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison and James have not been able to get enough regularity due to injuries, bearing in mind that for them it is “one of the best tridents in Europe”.
