Belgium coach Roberto Martinez snappy over Real Madrid questions

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez has blanked questions about Real Madrid.

Marténez insists his only concern is Belgium's Nations League matches with Iceland and Switzerland, which take place next week.

"I don't want to say whether I or my agent had contact with Real Madrid," he told a news conference.

"That is irrelevant and would be of little respect in the run-up to the matches against Switzerland and Iceland. That's what we're doing now."

When pressed on whether Madrid could be an option in his future, Martinez replied: "I don't want to talk about anything other than the matches against Switzerland and Iceland.

"I've already said that here in two languages. Should I say it through body language, or sing a song?

"My message will remain the same: the only thing that interests me today is the Belgium team."
