Iker Casillas: "I preferred to keep quiet and not harm my club"


Former Real Madrid keeper Iker Casillas has no regrets in doing anything. The Spanish goalkeeper who has spent his entire career at Real Madrid before moving to FC Porto in the summer transfer window. The goalkeeper had this to say to El Mundo:

"I preferred to keep quiet and not harm my club. Lots of people say that I should have, but I preferred to stay quiet. I don't regret anything", said Casillas in an interview published in El Mundo supplement Papel.

Casillas continues. "When I fell injured I realised that was when they talked most about me. It was suspicious. Maybe some people had a hidden agenda", speculated the 34-year-old keeper.

The Spain captain said he had been hurt by being booed: "It hurts to be booed during big games when the important thing was to get behind the team", he explained.

Iker Casillas on  Mourinho: "We said what we had to say to each other face to face. I don't think he'll ever talk on the matter because I didn't", he said.

"I'll never say a bad word about Real Madrid or their president. This club gave me an education and instilled certain values in me. It'd be cowardly to badmouth them now because I didn't do so at the time", he insisted.

"If I haven't spoken over the past three years I'm not going to now. I'm not scared to talk, but people will judge me no matter what I say. Vicente del Bosque is my role model. He's a very sensible person", Casillas went on.

Regarding his farewell from his boyhood club, Iker said "it was what it was". "I'm not going to compare it with that of other players. It was mine and that's all there is to it", he added.
