The former Barcelona forward thinks Colombia's captain needs to change his stye of play.
Outspoken former Barcelona forward Hristo Stoichkov has described James Rodriguez as an "average player," warning that the Real Madrid midfielder must improve or risk becoming just another player at the European champions.
Rodriguez played a starring role for Colombia at the Copa America Centenario in the United States, helping his country to third place at the centenary tournament, however 2015-16 was a season of disappointment in Madrid.
The 24-year-old fell out of favor following Zinedine Zidane's arrival in January, losing his starting berth as Madrid went on to win the Champions League, with Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric preferred in a three-man midfield.
