The Colombian international punched the Blancos bench after his substitution against Leganes, but his manager understands his reaction
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane says he has nothing against James Rodriguez despite the attacking midfielder punching the dugout after being substituted against Leganes.
James was frustrated to be taken off for Isco with 18 minutes remaining of his side's thrilling 4-2 away La Liga victory on Wednesday.
The Colombia international had produced a fine display, scoring the opener, assisting Alvaro Morata's hat-trick goal and creating a total of four chances for his team-mates.
But despite Marcelo attempting to calm him down, James' let his anger be known when Zidane opted to replace him, walking straight past the head coach before punching the dugout after sitting down.
