Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane handed James Rodriguez a start for their win against Valencia.
Zidane insists he was pleased with the Clolombian's performance.
“He played very well and did the job asked of him, as they all did," said Zizou.
"I'm very happy with his performance, and with the performance of the team as a whole. It's true that if you don't get that second goal things can become difficult, and that was the case a bit today. But at 1-1, with the help of the fans, we got the second goal and we're happy."
