James Rodriguez has said he is happy playing in whatever position in the team that Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti wants him to.
The 22-year-old, an 80-million-euro summer signing from Monaco, is more familiar with a role on the wing, but has been used in a number of different positions this season as the Italian manager tweaks his tactics to bed in the new players.
And Rodriguez said he is happy to do what Ancelotti says as he is comfortable playing anywhere across the attack.
In quotes published by Madrid-based daily, Marca, the Colombian said: “I’ll go wherever the manager tells me to, and wherever it is, I’ll be fine.”
The new arrival in the Spanish capital also praised his teammates for their help following his move to the Santiago Bernabeu, and said everyone at the club is doing all they can to make him feel welcome and settled.
“All the players are very humble. That’s why they’re there. And they are great players,” he said.
The Colombian won the Golden Boot at this summer’s World Cup in Brazil, netting six times in five games, including the goal of the tournament – a wonder volley against Uruguay in the second round.
