adminMourinho relegated Casillas to the bench in favour of Diego Lopez after he returned from three months out with a hand injury. Casillas admitted he found the situation difficult to cope with after achieving so much in the game. But he told Fifa.com: “I dealt with it by thinking of the team and wanting what is best for Real Madrid.
“I cried, suffered, felt bad and had nights where I slept little, if at all. I’m a Madrid fan through and through, and before everyone else –myself, coaches, presidents, directors of football – the club always comes first.”
New Real boss Carlo Ancelotti confirmed on Wednesday that Casillas would certainly be in his plans, although he will need to earn his place in the side like any other player.
The 32-year-old goalkeeper added in the interview that he planned to end his playing career at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“I would love to finish my career at Real Madrid. But I would not cause a scene if, one day, a coach were to come along and decide he doesn’t need me,” he added. — AFP.
