Helguera: Flashy Isco is frustrating like Zidane
The former Real Madrid defender has criticized the midfielder for not offering as much as he should, even though the fans at the Santiago Bernabeu continue to applaud him.
Former Real Madrid defender Ivan Helguera has criticized Isco and believes the midfielder's presence on the pitch is hurting the Santiago Bernabeu side.
The 23-year-old has become a crowd favorite since joining Madrid from Malaga in 2013 and has been a key figure ever since Zinedine Zidane replaced Rafael Benitez as head coach.
Helguera is not impressed with Isco, though, and feels Madrid cannot afford to play the Spain international due to his inefficiency and tendency to showboat.
