Dani Ceballos hits out at media over reported dispute with Zidane
The Real Madrid midfielder wanted to put the record straight
Dani Ceballos has responded to reports claiming he told Real Madrid coach, Zinedine Zidane, he didn't want to play under him.
Zidane is not thought to count on Ceballos for next season and it's been claimed the midfielder told the French coach that he was not keen on working with him again, either.
However, the former Real Betis man, currently with Spain U21s at the European Championships, has taken to Twitter to deny that is the case.
"I want to explain, given the information reported in some media outlets that I prefer not to mention, that at no moment have I made public any private conversation with any member of the coaching staff at Real Madrid," he said.
"Additionally, I STRONGLY DENY the quotes attributed to me. I think it lacks professionalism and is way out of place for this type of false news to be published.
"Especially considering we're working hard and fighting at an international tournament as important as the European Championships with Spain U21s."
1/3 Quiero manifestar, ante las informaciones que se han publicado hoy en algunos medios de comunicación que prefiero no mencionar, que en ningún momento se ha hecho pública ninguna conversación mía privada con alguna persona del cuerpo técnico del Real Madrid...

3/3 ... más aún cuando estamos trabajando y peleando por un torneo internacional tan importante como es la Eurocopa Sub21 con la Selección Española.
