Real Madrid coach Rafa Benitez has denied reports of player crisis talks this week.
It was claimed Benitez met with the senior leadership group to discuss several issues.
But he insists: "I have respect for your profession, but those reports are false.
"There has not been any meeting. I have been managing football teams for 25 or 30 years; I haven't done badly and I'm going to carry on doing it the same way."
