Zidane on James: 'I was happy with his performance'

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has said he was happy with the performance of James Rodriguez in the club's 1-1 draw against Real Valladolid yesterday.

While Karim Benzema had scored for the Los Blancos in the 86th minute, Valladolid equalised in stoppage time to level it up.

In the post-game interview, Zidane was asked about James and said: "He came out because he had some muscle problems and I didn't want to risk it. I'm happy with him and how he played. His performance was good."
