Marcelo blamed jealousy on the part of the media for talks of a crisis at Real Madrid following a slow start to life under Julen Lopetegui.
Lopetegui's future in Madrid has come under fire following a five-match winless streak, though Tuesday's 2-1 Champions League victory over Viktoria Plzen offered some respite for the La Liga giants.
Madrid sit level on points with Roma at the top of Group G following Tuesday's win, but sit four points back of league leaders Barcelona in La Liga.
And the former Spain head coach's position is still believed to be in doubt, but the Madrid left-back was quick to share his belief that the talks of crisis were down to "envy" from observers who don't play the game.
