Real Madrid midfielder Isco has opened up on whether they miss Cristiano Ronaldo after their dismal start of the season.
Los Blancos are currently lying seventh in La Liga after winning just four matches in nine games, losing three and drawing two.
And the Spain international has said that the players can not be worrying about Ronaldo who decided leave the club rather, they will look for solution to their goal scoring problems.
Speaking to the press ahead of his their Champions League clash with Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday, Isco was asked about club's problems and whether they miss Ronaldo and his response was defiant.
"People have been talking about that all season," he said. " We can't be talking about someone who isn't here. I miss [Gareth] Bale and [Dani] Carvajal when they are not with us. There are plenty of solutions to score goals.
"We can't be crying over someone who didn't want to be here."
Real Boss Julen Lopetegui took over from former manager Zidane Zinedine , whose impeccable record is already a mountain to climb for the Spanish coach.
And when asked about the possibility of the manager being sacked, Isco hit back once more.
"It would be crazy. We have to let him work. We have been together two months. In the end, they will have to sack us - we are the ones who are playing," he said.
"We are all in this, not only the coach, and I'm confident this team can go on to have a magnificent year."
Isco who played under Lopetegui both in the Spanish national team and currently with Madrid provided an answer to their problems.
"In the national team he did a phenomenal job," explained Isco. "Here as well, although the results aren't coming.
"His idea of football convinces us all, but things aren't working out. Football is fickle, but we have to turn this situation around."
