Vicente del Bosque defends Real Madrid transfer target following big controversy
Spain manager Vicente del Bosque has defended Real Madrid transfer target David de Gea, following his alleged involvement in Child sex abuse case.
“I think De Gea has given the explanations he needed to, and he’s left it clear that he had nothing to do with it all,” the 65-year-old said.
“He said it as well to the whole squad. We all had a meeting, and the kid, with sincerity and tranquillity, gave his explanation that he had nothing to do with it.”

“Everything that happens in life, you have to give it a spin and turn it around. We are in a period of reflection, and you have to spin it around,” he said.
“I can’t say at the moment if he will start or not.”
Meanwhile, Robert Pires has urged Real Madrid to break the bank for Paul Pogba, and has insisted that his former teammate Didier Deschamps is not racist, following Benzema’s claims.

“They should definitely pay the money for him,” said Pires. “€90 million is a lot but maybe for seventy million, Real can afford that.
“He is a very complete player and I am convinced that he would perfectly suit the club, especially by the side of Zidane.”
At the time Real Madrid, Arsenal and Juventus wanted me,” he added. “I chose Arsenal because Arsene Wenger called me and for a player to be called directly from the coach is a very good sign.
“They told me I was crazy to reject Madrid, it is what all players want, but I also knew that it would be difficult to get playing time. I have a little regret but I stayed at Arsenal for six years and won almost everything.”
“Zidane has an advantage that he’s a coach who as a player has won everything and so already has great respect. The players know that he has been better than all of them together.”
Deschamps is not racist, France has always been characterised as a mixture of races and religions and while I understand Karim [Benzema] says this as he is outside, the conclusion he arrives at is not correct,
