Pablo Hernandez has assured the media that nobody in the Spanish national team is thinking about Real Madrid and has insisted they are all focused on the Confederations Cup.
The Valencia youngster was a late call-up to the squad to replace Andres Iniesta and whilst he has not been targeted by Madrid, some of his team-mates reportedly have.
Speaking about the situation today, Pablo declared that "in the national team we are not thinking about Madrid and we are focused on having a good tournament".
"Everyone has received me very well, I know nearly all of them and they have been nice since the start...I expect to cover Iniesta's absence well," AS quote him as saying.
The midfielder also revealed that when he got the call from Vicente Del Bosque, he was "on the beach", but quickly packed his bags to come and join the squad.
Also at the press conference today was Villarreal midfielder Santi Cazorla, who was contacted by Madrid last year about a possible transfer.
Asked whether or not he believes players should be banned from using mobile phones, he replied "everybody is free to do what they want and I do not think that anyone can be stopped from speaking on their phones".
With regards to the absence of Iniesta, Fernando Llorente said that he is a "great player" that would be "key for any team".
He also responded to comparisons made between himself and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who could be on his way to Spain, saying "he is an incredible player and it is normal that he is wanted".
