Iker Casillas

Nothing new really. I have told you about all of this and more since more than one year ago. Anyhow, the media and the future has just caught up with us.

Iker Problematic, last bad apple, and the dagger in the heart of real madrid at it again. Until when? I ll leave that for you to decide.



Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has decided against putting goalkeeper Iker Casillas on sale this summer despite the fractious relationship between the duo, Goal.com can reveal.

In recent days, speculation has increased that Mourinho could sell Casillas amidst growing tensions between them.

However, Goal.com has learned from sources close to both that the Portuguese coach knows that selling Casillas, who has been Real Madrid's no.1 for more than a decade, would be a deeply unpopular move.

In fact, club officials have privately agreed that they would be more prepared to lose Mourinho than Casillas.

It is clear that Mourinho sees Casillas as problematic. He has referred to the World Cup winner as merely "the goalkeeper" on several occasions. In one outburst, after a good performance from the 30-year-old against Lyon, Mourinho detracted from this and said: "He has made some good saves as any goalkeeper does for an important team. It's what he's meant to do."

According to sources close to the Real Madrid captain, he does not always agree with Mourinho's methods and rules so does not comply with them. Casillas is happy to defy his manager, having led the club for several years.

This season, rumours have spread that Mourinho asked for the exit of Casillas.

Some versions of the story behind their fall-out have been blown out of proportion, but others have been confirmed.

Casillas called his Barcelona counterparts in the wake of the controversial Supercopa defeat to the Catalans last August, leading Mourinho, who had banned communication with their bitter rivals, to drop him for the Trofeo Santiago Bernabeu match against Galatasaray.

Later, Mourinho organised a barbecue to try and close the widening gap between the coach and his players, who look to Casillas as a leader.

Recently, there was a fiery argument between Sergio Ramos and Mourinho which got into the hands of the Spanish media, with Casillas implicated as the mole. The coach wanted to strip him of the armband but decided against it.

When the dressing room had a meeting following the draw with Villarreal, they decided to follow the party line of silence, rather than complaining about referees, which Mourinho had implored them to do.

Despite this, many fans feels closer to the sensibilities of the coach, and Casillas has suffered a backlash from fans after errors made in the draws against Malaga and Villarreal.

Meanwhile, there have been rumours that Los Blancos are on the look out for a goalkeeper. There has been talk of Bayern Munich stopper Manuel Neuer, as well as Thibaut Courtois, who is on loan at Atletico Madrid from Chelsea. However, in reality, if a new goalkeeper arrives, he will be on the bench. Despite being well thought of by Mourinho, Antonio Adan, the current back-up, is looking for a way out of the team to ply his trade at a club where he is first choice.

Yeah, the rumors are in almost every Spanish outlet. But that's what they are, rumors.

Wouldn't surprise me if true. Remember when he was subbed out of a game because he called Puyol to scale back the tension after a clasico? It wouldn't be the first time these two have issues.

Anyways, yet another display of the psychologist's amazing man management...

what a mofo

marca and goal.com

See post above and troll harder next time.

He was never subbed out of any game......he didn't start a Copa Del Rey match.I suppose Valdes is having issues with Pep as well.....

That's what I meant, no start, my bad.

Anyways there's a difference, because Casillas starts every match even in the Copa, whereas it's Pep's policy that Pinto plays every match of the Copa.

Well.......

Poster A : Real Madrid's youth policy is shit, they never give youth players any game time or even try to integrate them into the squad.

*Youth player gets playing time*.

Poster A: Well obviously there are problems between Mourinhio and the player who was rested.I mean, a youth player should never ever get playing time in a basically meaningless Copa Del Rey game where Real Madrid already led by 4 goals going in.It's unheard of.

Somewhere in Catalyunya the entire first team gets dropped for a CL game.

Poster A : Barca youth poliy

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx............Casillas is a Legend.................xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That's why Iker Casillas has the highest save % in UCL history so far, over 91%.

And since when did all of Spain mean biased Catalan papers and Marca? lmao

People need to get a grip
