«Breaking News» Isco admits he has work to do to get into Lopetegui's Real Madrid plans

Isco admits he has plenty of work to do to impress Julen Lopetegui and make his way back into Real Madrid's starting XI.

The midfielder, who was also managed by Lopetegui while he was Spain boss, had to come off the bench to rescue a point for Madrid as they drew 1-1 with Athletic Bilbao in La Liga on Saturday night.

It was the second consecutive La Liga match that Isco failed to make the starting line-up, after also coming on as a substitute during their 4-1 thrashing of Leganes before the international break.

Isco's limited game time has surprised many in Spain, with plenty expecting the playmaker to be an integral part of Lopetegui's side this season.

But speaking following Madrid dropping their first points of the season, Isco claimed there may be players performing stronger than him and that he has to earn his place.  

'It's not just me in the team,' said the 26-year-old. 'There are other team-mates who may be better than me and that's why the coach chooses his starting line-up.

'All that stuff about how it was going to be Isco and 10 more under Lopetegui, that's what you [reporters] were saying.

'It's a long season and we'll need to be prepared. As the coach says, the important thing is that everyone is ready and ready to meet the objectives.' 

Isco and his Madrid team-mates begin their Champions League defence against last season's Champions League semi-finalists Roma on Wednesday at the Bernabeu.

Following the European clash, Madrid take on Espanyol at home as they look to return to winning ways in La Liga.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
