Isco dominates the derby, but will he stay in the side?
Isco was the clear dominator of the derby, and it seems he’s now decided to demonstrate what a world-class player he is. But when the missing return, will Zidane keep him in the team?
Isco’s first half performance was why his teammates carried him on their shoulders through Vicente Calderón tunnel.
World class
In one of the few opportunities that his coach has given him to play in his true position, the Malagan gave an absolute show when on the ball and pressurised and broke up play without it. He was the clear dominator of the game, and it seems that this season he’s decided to demonstrate what a world-class player he is.
Zidane giving him confidence, but will he stay?
It is true that in the past he has displayed symptoms of not being focused enough but it is also a reality that no one in Madrid has ever dared to give him the continuity that his quality deserves. Zidane though is now giving him confidence and minutes and as a result is discovering the best version of a top footballer.
Now we’ll just have to see if when the missing return, Isco continues to be indisputable in the side…
