Watch James Rodriguez get extra hyped after nailing a trick shot
Watching professionals in training is some of the most underrated entertainment out there. Sometimes players may surprise you with an otherworldly level of skill they don't necessarily reveal on a daily basis (see: Real Madrid's Marcelo), and sometimes, you just get to see them let it all hang out and be relatively normal in the most comfortable place on earth for them: the training ground.
This James Rodriguez clip falls somewhere in between; this bent ball he places into a tiny goal all the way across the training pitch won't necessarily going to make your jaw drop, but it's fantastic piece of skill. Even better is just how excited James and the rest of his teammates get when it finally hits the goal.
Just look at it. That's a cool 60-70 yard bending ball, over another training goal and squarely into the back of the net. You know it's good because of Rodriguez and Lucas Vazquez's reactions. That being said, the reactions are by far the best part. Even if you're not a Madrid fan, watching those guys have a good old-fashioned time on the training pitch has to put a smile on your face.
Unless you're an Atletico or Barcelona supporter. We'll give you guys a pass.
