DBasia.news – Isco showed his sincerity to regain the main place in the Real Madrid squad. He made a number of sacrifices in order to be included in the plans of the new coach, Carlo Ancelotti.
Isco’s future with Madrid was on the line this summer. That’s because he was on the sale list.
Madrid intend to sell him because of Isco’s contract which only has one year remaining. The 29-year-old player was also only a bench warmer in Zinedine Zidane’s last season in charge.
However, this condition did not make Isco give up. He was actually motivated to get up as the change in the coach seat.
According to a report by Diario AS, Isco has had private training sessions this summer. That’s outside the fitness training schedule that Ancelotti compiled for all Madrid players.
Fitness is indeed Isco’s main problem. His less than ideal weight affects his performance on the field.
One of Isco’s forms of personal training is running a distance of 12 km every day. He did it alone.
Isco’s hard work finally paid off. Ancelotti began to involve him back into the first team since pre-season.
Isco was finally featured as a starter when Madrid traveled to Levante’s headquarters in the second week of LaLiga 2021-2022. He played for 59 minutes before being replaced by Marco Asensio.
Unfortunately, Isco’s return to Madrid’s starting line-up did not end well. Los Blancos were only able to draw 3-3.
But Isco has the opportunity to contribute more in the next matches. Madrid’s management is now even ready to offer a new contract to make it last longer.
