🔝The best team in the country? Nacional's best XI with James | OneFootball

James Rodríguez’s signing for Atlético Nacional promises to transform the competitive landscape of Colombian football. After being announced as a star signing, the 35-year-old midfielder will be presented to the fans at Atanasio Girardot Stadium, while awaiting the completion of his physical conditioning.

Lucas González’s tactical reshuffle

Coach Lucas González will keep his usual 4-2-3-1 setup, placing James at the heart of the attack behind center forward Alfredo Morelos. This tactical adjustment would push Edwin Cardona to the bench, displaced by the status of Colombia’s national team No. 10.

A star-studded starting eleven

The projected lineup would feature Franco Armani in goal; Andrés Román, Néider Parra, William Tesillo, and Samuel Velásquez in defense; Jorman Campuzano and Matheus Uribe in holding midfield; Marlos Moreno, James Rodríguez, and Andrés Sarmiento in attack; and Alfredo Morelos as the main striker.
