In Spain, it is undeniable - Santiago Solari participated in his last pre-match press conference on Saturday. Journalists who arrived had to wait - S. Solari was almost an hour and a half late. When the Argentine entered the conference room, he apologized, but in essence, the media representatives heard nothing new. There were practically no questions about S. Solari's future, as in Spain it is already well known that the coach will officially be dismissed from his duties on Monday.
"I am a coach and I am responsible for the team's performance in tomorrow's match. We understand the difficult situation we are in, but we must remain as professional as possible," - said S. Solari.
During this press conference, it was possible to see that the coach finally openly commented on the Isco situation. Since his arrival in the first team, S. Solari rarely used security services.
"To play, you must first achieve physical, and then sports form," - said the Argentine.
S. Solari stated that some players are not at a level where they can play with "Real" markings. Undoubtedly, this message was directed towards Isco.
"Most players were at a normal level, which is what they should be playing at in this club. With those who did not meet these standards, I spoke personally," - continued the specialist.
At the end, S. Solari briefly commented on his exit from the Champions League: "It was a glorious period for the club. Being eliminated from the tournament is always painful and sad, but it is worth it for what has been achieved within the club and among the fans."
