The sight of players covering their mouths to protect themselves from lip readers is a familiar one these days, and Lucas Vazquez was sharply reminded of its value this week. His conversation with Isi Palazon after Rayo Vallecano drew 3-3 with Real Madrid has caused concern in Vallecas.
After the match you can see Vazquez on images made by DAZN talking to Isi. The Real Madrid right-back appeared to ask about one of Rayo's players. According to Marca, Isi responded with the following.
“He sucks, but hey. Good luck, man,” Palazon said before Vazquez responded again. 'He's not coming. It's been a while. We're helping him, man, but he got into trouble,” Isi explained.
Many have speculated about the possible topic of the conversation. Colombian star James Rodriguez has not appeared in La Liga in the past month and has played just 205 minutes all season. Asked about James before the match against Real Madrid, manager Inigo Perez said he could not answer why the 33-year-old was not in the squad.
The most likely subject of the conversation seems to be striker Raul de Tomas. The former Real Madrid striker made just one appearance in the Copa del Rey this season and was also not part of the squad. Last week, Rayo president Raul Martin Presa told the press that De Tomas had been injured but that it was not a physical problem.
