Bayern Munich midfielder James: Zidane never gave me chance at Real Madrid

Bayern Munich midfielder James Rodriguez says Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane never gave him a genuine chance.

The Colombia international, currently on loan at the German giants, also highlighted his intention to continue featuring in the red and white shirt in the upcoming season.

"Each coach has their preferences and I have to respect Zidane's, but I wasn't part of them, even though I scored goals and gave assists," he said.

"[Jupp] Heynckes is a great coach and he helps me a lot.

"Little by little I have been playing more minutes and I have started finding my rhythm.

"I want to stay at Bayern Munich, as I am happy and very comfortable [here].

"I'm not think about anything else, as the Bundesliga is a great league."
