Zidane dismissed the idea of not having faith in Isco
Isco has been linked with a move away from Real Madrid this summer with reports claiming that Manchester City are willing to pay £75 million to sign the play maker.
Isco has started the season on a high note but since his injury and return of Gareth Bale from injury, has seen the Spain International reduced to bench. He is frustrated with lack of game time and recently took a swipe at club manager Zidane after scoring an impressive hat trick for his national team Spain, as quoted by Marca.
However Zidane is certain that Isco will certainly stay at Real Madrid. He was quick to dismiss the idea that he does not have faith in him.
“I don’t think I’m an unfair person,” Zidane told reporters on Friday. “I think what he said is open to interpretation.
“Maybe he has a different role with Spain to here, but he’s important, I’ve always felt he’s important for this team and it’s only natural a player wants to play more.
“But my job is to pick 11 players. He is an important one and will be an important one, always. As I said, it comes down to interpretation, but I’m not upset at all with Isco.
“I’m happy with his performances, it was a very impressive performance [against Argentina] and Spain impressed too. Isco is a Real Madrid player and he’ll remain here. That’s it.
“It’s not his fault. Isco, whenever he plays, he works hard, gives 100 per cent – he kills himself.
“Sometimes things come off, sometimes they don’t. I don’t think there’s an issue with Isco. The thing is I have 25 players and only 11 can play. I’m happy with Isco, there is no problem.”
Isco has scored seven goals and registered as many assists in 40 games across all competitions this season for Real Madrid.
