Isco: I'll force Benitez into difficult decisions


Real Madrid attacker Isco says he is willing to play in
any position under coach Rafael Benitez.

Isco is eager to put pressure on coach Rafael Benitez for a
consistent starting spot, after scoring the opening goal in Real
Madrid's 3-1 win over Las Palmas on Saturday.

The 23-year-old playmaker has failed to secure his position in
the side since joining from Malaga in July 2013 but has enjoyed
a recent run of form to start the last five games for the Madrid
giants.

After starting on the right of the front three in attack against the
Canary Island outfit, Isco admitted he is happy to play in any
position and wants to give Benitez a selection dilemma.

"I'm comfortable anywhere, as long as it's on the pitch," he said.

"I will continue working and fighting to make it difficult for the
manager".

Madrid temporarily extended their lead at the top of La Liga
before title-rivals and holders Barcelona drew level at the
summit following their victory over Getafe.

Isco was pleased with the manner of Madrid's away victory but
said the team will not be resting on their laurels, with Barca in
touching distance.

"We began the game with a lot of conviction and scored two
goals early on," he said.

"The game went our way and it was a shame we conceded a
goal. We played pretty well overall."

He added: "We have to continue this good run. We're happy to
get the three points and stay at the top, which is important."
