At the moment, the ’10’ is fulfilling the objective and as proof of this, the recognition that he obtained a few hours ago in Greece. The Colombian, who belongs to the ranks of Olympiacos, stood out as the best player in October in the entire league.

This Thursday, the Greek Super League published the results of the election for the footballer who shone during the past month. So, the ranking was led by the ‘coffee grower’, who obtained 53.35% of the votes cast by the fans. That is to say, more than half of the participants were delighted with the performance of the South American.

James Rodríguez, in the first place, got a huge distance in relation to the Brazilian Bernard of Panathinaikos with his 23.12%.

The choice of the former Real Madrid is not pure chance, because in the tenth month of the year he appeared in four Olympiacos commitments: three as starters and one entering. The Colombian completed a total of 278 minutes in which he scored two goals and distributed the same number of assists. Thanks to this, his team added 9 of 12 points in the table.

Because of those numbers and influence, James was crowned the best of October in the Greek Super League. In this way, Rodríguez wins an award of this type for the first time since January 2018, when he was appointed by the Bundesliga for his role with Bayern Munich.
