Zinedine Zidane is already losing patience with James Rodriguez.

Zinedine Zidane has only been in charge of Real Madrid for 10 days but he already has a problem with one member of his first-team squad.

The French coach, according to Catalan newspaper Sport, doesn’t even want to look at a painting of James Rodriguez because he’s fed up with the Colombia international’s attitude.

Zidane is frustrated that James is above his ideal weight and doesn’t seem to be focused - even on the training ground - and is beginning to worry that he might be fighting a losing battle with the technically-gifted playmaker.

Sport speculate that James’s love of the Madrid nightlife, fast cars and a luxurious lifestyle is affecting his performances.

Earlier this month he was involved in a 200mph ‘high-speed pursuit’ - per the Mirror - with an undercover police officer while he was on his way to training.
