Real Madrid coach Solari tells fans: Isco given lot of joy to you

Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari was eager to avoid questions about Isco today ahead of their clash with Rayo Vallecano.

Isco allegedly swore at jeering home fans during this week's Champions League defeat to CSKA Moscow.

Solari said, "I get the impression that they protested a corner or an error, I do not know, I understand that the focus is sometimes on the anecdotal but ours has to be on other things.

"We're facing Rayo Vallecano tomorrow and with the attitude shown in the vast majority of our games, we have won eight of ten matches and that is the way."

Pressed about Isco, he added: "He is a mature man, a professional, he has given a lot of joys to this club and he will continue to give them.

"The most unpleasant task of the coach is to choose who has to play, who goes to the bench and who does not have to dress."
