Colombia coach Jose Peckerman is full of praise for Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez.
Peckerman says James deserves to be national team captain.
"James has grown and has matured very quickly at 23. He amazes me with each step that he takes, he has great conditions. He is a winner," enthused Peckerman.
"And that's why he was captain. Both the coaching staff and the players trust him completely. He assumes the captaincy responsibly."
