The Spaniard says that los Blancos would
welcome the Wales winger with open arms at
the Santiago Bernabeu, saying he would give
their Italian coach a welcome selection
headache
Isco says that there is no doubt that the arrival
of Gareth Bale at Real Madrid would give coach
Carlo Ancelotti a problem, but a "blessed" one.
Los Blancos have already confirmed their
interest in the Tottenham winger, but have
thus far refused to meet the Premier League
outfit's asking price of €114 million.
There has been also been some debate over
whether Madrid actually need Bale, but Isco
feels that the Welshman would represent a
most welcome selection headache for
Ancelotti.
"If he comes, it would a problem for the
coach, but a blessed problem," he told
reporters at a press conference on Friday.
"I think what everybody thinks [about him]:
that he is a really great player. So, we would
welcome him as everyone else has been
welcomed [this summer]."
Isco is one of Madrid's most recent arrivals,
having joined from Malaga for a reported
€30m and he believes he can thrive at the
Bernabeu under Ancelotti's tutelage.
"He's a coach who is always speaking with
you," he explains. "He is very close to the
players and his philosophy is perfect for
Madrid.
"The coach asks for possession, good
judgment, creativity and high pressing. It's a
style that suits players who like to play. We're
going to see an attractive Madrid that will do
great things.
"We want to do well in all competitions, not
just the Champions League. We want to win
everything."
Isco admitted, though, that he faces a difficult
task in nailing down a regular berth in the
Madrid starting line-up.
"I will just try to do my job," he explained.
"The adaptation for me has been quick and
easy. I'm delighted to be here and eager to do
well.
"It's true that at Malaga I played every game as
a starter, but here at Madrid, they give nothing
away.
"I hope to play a lot and I hope to play on
Sunday [in Madrid's Liga opener against Betis]
but the coach has the final say."
Isco, who has been capped once at senior level
by Spain, played a key role in the country's
triumph at this summer's Under-21 European
Championship.
