James received the '10′ Junior de Barranquilla and the rojiblanco fans were excited to sign him

On the night of Wednesday, March 23, Junior de Barranquilla boasted on his social networks a gift given to the idol of the Colombian national team, James Rodríguez, prior to the game against Bolivia for the 18th date of the Conmebol qualifiers Road to Qatar 2022.

And the fact is that the midfielder of Al Rayyan in Qatar is one of the bets of the fans and the tricolor coaching staff to achieve the desired goal of getting at least in the playoff zone where they could face Australia, the United Arab Emirates or Iraq.

Although there has been a rain of criticism of the left-handed steering wheel for the inconveniences and decisions he has made throughout his career, the affection of the clubs that saw him grow as a professional in Colombia does not cease to exist. Just because of the affection that the local rental has shown to Rodríguez Rubio, a photograph of the former Everton footballer wearing the number 10 Junior shirt and his name written on the bib went viral.

Although the Barranquilla Junior '10′ is currently occupied by the Venezuelan steering wheel Luis Daniel Cariaco González, Rodríguez did not miss the opportunity to accept the gift that the shark team gave him after having changed his manufacturing sponsorship from New Balance to Adidas in the last two weeks .

Given that James is focused on Tricolor in the Atlantic capital, Junior did not hesitate to give a shirt to the historic Colombian steering wheel and share this gesture on his social networks. This was the message with which they echoed the present:

What began as a promotional campaign for the new jersey of the shark team, recently qualified for the group stage of the 2022 South American Conmebol Cup, ended in a situation of high expectation, considering that many fans of the rojiblanco club were excited to have James in their ranks at the disposal of the needs of the Argentine coach Juan Cruz Real.

In fact, several fans of the coastal team reacted to the club's publication expressing the enthusiasm that generates them to think that at some point James will decide to return or end his career by passing as Junior.

These were some of the reactions of Atlantic fans:

After falling to Peru and Argentina without scoring a single goal in favor, Colombia will play it in the South American competition against a practically eliminated rival: Bolivia. He will then travel to Puerto Ordaz to face the already eliminated Venezuela on Tuesday, March 29 at 6:30 p.m.

There is a lot of expectation for what James Rodriguez can do in these two matches, as the last goal that Colombia scored in an official match was on January 16 of this year in the 2-1 final against Honduras by an international friendly match in the United States with the goals of Juan Fernando Quintero (10′), Kervin Arreaga (53′) and Andrés Colorado (67′).

Meanwhile, this is what the midfielder of the Colombia team looks like during the training sessions prior to the final duels of the Tricolor against Bolivia and Venezuela in the remainder of March:
