James Rodriguez says criticism of Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo are simply jealous.
Ronaldo struck twice in Real's win at Eibar.
James said: "A lot of people are envious about what he has achieved and about what he can accomplish. Cristiano always works hard, he's a top professional with a huge desire to learn and help the team."
The midfielder also scored and added: "We knew that it was going to be a tough match, but we also knew that we could go out and win if we played well and put in a good match. I'm happy about the win and coming away with a good result."
