Real Madrid boss Schuster: Castilla players not up to standard

Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster admits the current Castilla team isn't strong enough for him to consider their players for his first team squad.

"Three years ago there was a great Castilla with players like Jurado, Negredo, Soldado, Javi Garcia, Arbeloa, Miguel Torres, De la Red ... What happened during that time was the Galacticos," said Schuster.

"Unfortunately, that team also went down to Segunda Liga B and the players left. I would have liked to have such a Castilla to now provide me things, but they are not at the level required."
