Real Madrid Coach Praise for Llorente and Tactical Decision to Drop Isco

Real Madrid's current head coach, Santiago Solari, has praised Marcos Llorente for his professionalism and the great performance he put in during the UEFA Champions League match against Roma. Despite the midfielder not having competitive rhythm before the game, Solari named Llorente in the starting XI for his first Champions League appearance of the campaign.

In a tactical decision, Solari left Isco out of the matchday squad, a move that has been linked with several clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, AC Milan, Barcelona, and Manchester City. Isco has not started a game since Solari succeeded Julen Lopetegui as head coach in October.

Solari has been firm in his stance regarding his decision to drop Isco, insisting there is not much to talk about and refusing to speculate about the situation. He also declined to discuss his relationship with Isco amid reports of a rift between the two.

Diego Simeone, the Atletico Madrid coach, strongly advocated for Llorente's use in the Champions League match against Roma, stating that his play is highly admirable. Solari, however, expressed hope that Llorente continues to work hard and have a long career with the team.

Solari added that there are 24 professionals working hard in the team, and the next match Real Madrid will play is against Valencia. Despite the speculation surrounding Isco's future, Solari stated that he makes decisions based on what he considers best for each player.

As the season progresses, the future of Isco and Llorente at Real Madrid remains uncertain. Fans will be eagerly waiting to see how both players perform in the upcoming matches.
