Porto was a great solution for an uncomfortable situation that Iker was having at a club he has represented since a kid and he gave them a great service,” Del Bosque told O Jogo
“At his age, I think it was a good move. He tells me he is happy, he is playing and he feels useful. He is still old enough to play at the highest level.
“I watch almost every Porto game, and they are a team that dominate a lot, like Madrid in the Spanish league, and he is accustomed to be a goalkeeper of a big team.”

Speaking about the ongoing feud between Pique and Arbeloa, former Real Madrid manager said.
[Pique and Arbeloa] is an old wound that hasn’t healed. You can’t undermine the coexistence of the national team. I don’t see it as a problem. It’s an issue that caught us out.
Del Bosque has been linked with Real Madrid return after the Euro 2016, addressing the rumors he replied.
“There’s still six months and that’s a long way ahead. I’m a man of the RFEF and I have to talk to them before making a decision,” he clarified.
“In the last chapter [of his book] I talk about retirement and I think I speak conditionally. We say something like if everything goes to plan, it will be like that.
“I have no fear, only family things, but I have great responsibility in the six months ahead. We’ll do what’s best for the Federation.”
