Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has revealed his disappointment with the lack of playing time Jose Rodriguez has been given for Castilla.
Despite being promoted to the first-team squad for the Copa del Rey victory over Alcoyano, the midfielder has struggled to cement a regular spot in the reserve side under Alberto Toril.
Mourinho said: "Jose Rodríguez, who you like so much, doesn't get a game for Castilla, while others do despite being 24 years old. It's really sad.
"I have my autonomy, and Toril has his. I do what I want with the first team and he does what he wants with the second string. I have an opinion, and my opinion isn't going to change"
Mourinho's side are currently fourth in La Liga.
