The 21-year-old's late header sealed victory in
the club's first match of the season against
Betis, but knows his side will need to step up
their game Real Madrid attacker Isco says they must improve despite their narrow 2-1 victory over Betis. The summer recruit from Malaga nodded home
late in the game to get los Blancos off to a
winning start after Jorge Molina had put the
visitors in front before Karim Benzema's
equaliser.
Isco admitted that he had been “surprised” by the level of performance displayed by Betis,
but insisted that his side will improve as the
season continues.
“I’m happy with the win, we started with a
victory at home and now we must continue
along the same lines,” the playmaker told Canal +.
“It’s my first goal I’ve put in with my head in my
first game but I’m happy about taking all three
points as well.
“It’s the first league game, we’ll have to
improve a lot, but we’ve just started and we’ve added three points,” he stated, acknowledging
that his late goal was vital in making sure Carlo
Ancelotti’s side don’t lose any early ground to
rivals Barcelona, who thrashed Levante 7-0.
While happy to talk on the victory though, the
Spain Under-21 star would not be drawn on questions surrounding the omission of Iker
Casillas, with Diego Lopez continuing in goal.
He said: “That is a decision of the coach. The
important thing is the victory.”
