only sporadically in recent weeks
but he says he is enjoying just
training alongside Cristiano Ronaldo
and under Zinedine Zidane
Isco insists that he is loving life at Real
Madrid, claiming that there is no better
place in the world for a young player to
develop.
The Spain international arrived in the
Spanish capital from Malaga for a reported
€30 million during the summer and made
a blistering start to his Blancos career,
netting five goals in his first six
competitive outings.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has
failed to score since, and has been used
sparingly by coach Carlo Ancelotti in
recent weeks, but Isco says that things
have already gone much better than he
expected.
"I have not been a professional too long,"
he explained to Uefa's official magazine,
"so I would say that the biggest challenge
of my career so far has just been coming
to Real Madrid because I was a part of a
smaller club like Malaga.
"So, to go to the world's biggest club is a
really big challenge and I did not expect it
to be so good.
"I arrived and started playing very well in
the league right away, scoring goals,
providing assists and helping the team.
"I just hope to continue like this. I'm very
happy with everything that has happened,
but I do not want it to end here.
"I want to keep winning titles and do that
with Real Madrid. I want to keep growing,
keep moving towards being one of the
best in the world, and there is no better
place to grow than Real Madrid."
Isco also revealed that he is benefiting
enormously from just training alongside
Cristiano Ronaldo and under Blancos
assistant coach Zinedine Zidane.
"Cristiano is the best player in the world
and he helps you in every session," he
enthused.
"Zidane is a Real Madrid legend. He
teaches us things in every training session
- even just by playing with us.
"With the kind of class he always showed,
he was always a player I admired."
Isco will be hoping to feature when
Madrid resume their Liga campaign
against Almeria on Saturday.
