Real Madrid coach Benitez insists no Jese problems

Real Madrid boss Rafa Benitez insists there's no problems with Jese Rodriguez.

Jese was overlooked for victory against Granada.

Benitez said: “He has been sensational in training. I'm the first to give him confidence and I have showed my faith in him. I have to create a competitive atmosphere amongst the players. There are certain players who have an edge in terms of their experience.

"There are certain younger players with a lot of talent who need to work hard and as the fixtures unfold I'll play them one at a time. The games themselves also influence these decisions. You have to adjust specific positions. The younger players have to push hard to reach the same level the most experienced squad members are at."
