Antonio Adan: "It is a responsibility to replace Iker Casillas, not a test" – La Liga News
Antonio Adan will start between the posts for Real Madrid against Ajax Amsterdam in their final UEFA Champions League group match. The young stopper has welcomed the opportunity and stated that replacing captain Casillas is a responsibility and not a test
of his qualities.
The cantera product will start his second consecutive Champions League match, with Jose Mourinho resting his players for the upcoming El Clasico.
After making five appearances for Los Blancos last term, the reserve goalkeeper is slowly being blooded into first team affairs. Adan is aware of what is asked of him and let his opinions on the subject known.
He commented that taking the role of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 in the first team is a great achievement for him and he takes his role as a responsibility.
Continuing on the topic, he said that he has the same http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 as rest of the squad members: giving their best for Real Madrid.
"Being a substitute for Iker is a responsibility, not an exam. It is the same for the whole squad every time you jump on the field. We have a responsibility as Real Madrid players to do things well. Not only Adan, every player. This club affects many people
and deserves to do well," he said.
Adan conceded two goals against Dinamo Zagreb in Real Madrid’s previous group stage match - the only goals Real have let in this season in Europe. He commented that he did not like being scored against but had to be content with the result as circumstances
were out of his hands.
However, he stated that despite letting in the goals, the team was able to achieve the objective and he was happy with the three points.
"It fits two goals in my first match and did not like. These are circumstances that happened. The games are different and come out with the mindset that the team keeps conceding few goals and win as we all," he added.
Real Madrid have already qualified for the knockout rounds of the continental competition as group winners and will use the match to give a run out to reserve players. The Spanish giants have accumulated 15 points from their 5 group matches and look to improve
their stats with the reserve team.
