Isco pays his rudeness

Isco’s last season at Real Madrid has not been as the man from Malaga expected. His presence in the team is once again residual, a constant in recent years with Zidane and the arrival of Ancelotti has not changed.. His contract ends next June and it will be very difficult to add minutes in the remainder of the course. And to make his situation worse, in recent games he is paying a rudeness that the coaching staff did not like at all. Against Granada in Los Cármenes, the team was winning 1-4 and Carletto decided to make some changes. He called Camavinga and Jovic in the 79th minute to give them entry. Next to them was Isco warming up, who also approached the bench. Davide Ancelotti, son and assistant coach, asked him to keep warming up a bit more, something that he is formerly Malaga refused to do. Ancelotti put out the fire by bringing it onto the pitch.

At the press conference prior to the next game, against the Sheriff, the coach wanted to downplay what happened. “I don’t have to talk to him. I’m very fond of him and I don’t think he’s a big problem. My assistant tells him to get a little hotter and he says it was hot. He entered the field and that’s it. There’s no more. Don’t mess with this. It is professional, it is serious. He is angry because he does not play. But he has never disrespected me and neither have I. And it will never happen. Because the relationship we have is not only professional. We have spent a lot of time together and we respect each other, “he explained to the press.

However, the truth is that Isco has been ‘punished’ by the coach in the last three games. He has not added a single minute against Sheriff, Sevilla or Athletic. But the most serious thing for him is that he has not even warmed up, watching all the games from the bench. Gol Televisión published some images in which the little complicity between the two protagonists can be noticed. A dramatic situation for a footballer who was fundamental during Ancelotti’s first stage at the club. In fact, the Italian tried to recover it for the cause during his first months in the capital, but seems to have given up. A total of 177 minutes spread over seven games. All of them in the League since in the Champions League he has not even made his debut.

Neither the club is for the job of offering a renewal nor the player for the job of accepting it. The idea is that he leaves the club even this winter if an offer comes in that benefits both parties, something that seems complicated considering that any team will be able to sign him for free in six months. His reports at the club are not positive, but there have already been a couple of clubs that have asked about his predisposition. In the dressing room he does not enjoy the affection of the entire squad for some of his attitudes. A difficult breakup is looming after nine seasons together.
