They are Colombians and they're winning hearts at every step they take. When their sight meets the goal, the Cumbia sounds to the rhythm they make. A lefty and a righty. Two geniuses of the ball: James Rodriguez and Jackson Martinez.

The first one come in 2014 and has already proven in LaLiga what is capable of. The pinpoint accuracy of the compass that he has in his left foot has allowed him to let us really amazing goals. Granada CF and RC Deportivo already know what it is to suffer the player born in Cucuta on July 12 1991. At 24 years of age and having received the "Best World Cup Goal", James Rodriguez came up with the aim of growing as a player and he's getting it in a dizzying pace.

We have seen the "Blanco" player scoring goals, but also giving impossible passes. In the 2014/15 season he was one of the leading assistants of the championship and this course has already begun giving one in the two matches played. The magic also comes in free kicks. The accuracy on his left foot has left us beautifully crafted goals, as the one he score in the last clash against R. Betis, which has served to be MVP of the second matchday in LaLiga Fantasy. A total player who has a goal, pass, heading and excellent ball-striking. Ultimately, a "10" player, like he shows on his shirt.

The arrival of Jackson Martinez to LaLiga has created a great expectation in the South American country, cradle of magnificent forwards. The striker, originally from Quibdo, came to Atletico with the aim of further expand the footprint left by Colombian Radamel Falcao as '9' Atletico. With the number eleven on the back of his shirt, he has already begun writing their own history after signing his first goal as an Atlético player against Sevilla FC. His kick with both legs, the heading ability and its height and strength, promise to be key weapons for an Atletico de Madrid offering many alternatives in attack.
