Solari avoids talking about Isco LaLiga Santander - Real Madrid Coach dodged questions about the player

During his pre-match press conference for the Valencia game, Real Madrid coach, Santiago Solari, avoided all questions on the subject of Isco.

Tension between player and coach continues to build and there were no clues given as to whether the midfielder would be in the starting XI, on the bench or out of the team altogether as he was against Roma.

"I consider that the subject is closed, and that I can't be aware of your speculations," he said to gathered media.

"The squad is made up of 24 professionals and they all work.

"I do what I think is best for everyone, we are all important because we are all Real Madrid."

It now appears that the Copa Libertadores final will be played at Real's Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, and the winners will likely play Los Blancos in the Club World Cup final, however, Solari believes some of the shine has been taken off of the Superclasico meeting.

"It's an honour for Real Madrid to have the final and I hope that a stadium with our history will help put a good end to this difficult final," he continued.

"I can't stop mentioning the causes that bring this game here, that having to play an ocean away has broken many hearts.

"It's a pity as an example for the children, it's a shame.

"For me this game has lost significance, it's a pity to say but it is a reality.

"I hope that the Bernabeu serves to make it a decent final."

After the defeat to Eibar and the problems with Isco, there's a lot of noise around Madrid at the moment, but it won't faze Solari.

"I don't read the sports press," he added.

"My players are all professional and they work very well.

"We have some young guys but most of them are mature people and I don't think those outside of the club will distract them."
