Isco may have put itself in a difficult position. The midfielder complained on Saturday during the Real Madrid game with Barcelona (1-3) about the substitution policy of trainer Zinedine Zidane. Isco’s statement was recorded by a camera from Movistar, although the French coach has not yet responded. The Spanish playmaker stayed on the bench for ninety minutes during ‘El Clásico’.

“If he (Zidane, ed.) Takes me to the side, it will always be in the fiftieth or sixtieth minute of a match, sometimes even at half-time. If I am allowed to fill in once, it will always be Eightieth minute “, said Isco in clear terms to Luka Modric and Marcelo, who also had to sit on the bench against Barcelona. From the images, it seems as if the latter players have to smile after Isco’s comment about Zidane. In the background, fellow bench seeker Luka Jovic is mainly busy with his mobile phone.

Among other Deportes Cuatro emphasizes the difficult situation of Isco at Real once again. The now 28-year-old midfielder made his last 120 matches in the shirt of the Royal only 12 times the 90 minutes full. In LaLiga, Isco only had a starting place 28 times in the last 82 matches of the Spanish champion. In this football year, the midfielder has only played twice so far.

On social media, people react here and there with surprise to the words of Isco in the direction of Zidane. Many people believe that the midfielder owes a lot to the coach from France, who is in his second period as head coach in Madrid. Isco’s current commitment to Real will continue for another two years. A possible early departure is not yet mentioned in the Spanish media.
