Real Madrid coach Juande Ramos has shrugged off outspoken interviews given by two of his midfielders.

Julien Faubert, on-loan from West Ham United, has complained that he's feeling ignored by Ramos after failing to make an impression since his January arrival.

But the Real coach said: "He's been injured for ten days and hasn't been able to train. I'm surprised to see what has been published."

Ramos then turned to Rafael van der Vaart, who has described his situation as "c***" after missing last week's victory over Real Betis.

"I only trust what the players say to me face-to-face. There is always the chance of mistranslation," said Ramos.
