Real Madrid legend and current assistant coach Zinedine Zidane has told his boss Carlo Ancelotti that Isco could be as good as him in the future.
Los Blancos’ manager spoke at a press conference about the comparison many fans are making. “For Isco to be compared with Zidane is not bad after the few games he has played,” the Italian admitted.
“He is very similar in terms of ability and mentality. I asked Zinedine if Isco was as good as him and Zidane said ‘no, not yet but he could be very close in the future’,”, Ancelotti added.
The 21-year-old moved from Malaga to Madrid in the summer, and with just six official matches for Real he has become an instant favourite with the supporters. He has scored five goals so far this season.
Many of those who criticised Mesut Ozil’s sale to Arsenal for 45 million euros have now changed their minds due to the Andalucian’s brilliant performance at the number 10 position.
Isco will have another chance to shine as Los Merengues visit Elche on Wednesday evening.
