Real Madrid attacker James Rodriguez has been slammed in Colombia.

Former Colombia national team doctor Hector Fabio Cruz has lamented James Rodriguez for his lack of professionalism.

"The boy isn't focused," Cruz said to Futbolred.

"Instead of working for the new season he went to fix his eyebrows and his hair while he should have been working.

"Big teams like Madrid expect professionalism, who will be prepared, but this boy has a bad head."

Cruz didn't stop there though, and his criticism of James kept going.

"A player who spends months away from the pitch and goes from club to club, how does he stay there?" he questioned.

"He'll stay at first, but if he prepared properly he wouldn't suffer any of this.

"I already predicted that it would go wrong because he doesn't work."

To further emphasise his point, the doctor used Juventus ace Cristiano Ronaldo as a comparison.

"Cristiano took a week of vacation," he said.

"He went on a yacht with his family to Greece and then the following week he had 15 people preparing him for the season.

"He's the most professional guy I know.

"James left the World Cup injured, hired a private plane, went to the beach and relaxed. That can't be."
