Real Madrid goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
Los Blancos failed to register a win after Juan Albin got the equalizer for Espanyol in the 88th minute and finished the game 2-2.
The result meant that Barcelona are now 13 points clear of Real Madrid after they dismantled Atletico Madrid 4-1 at the Camp Nou and it seems the race for the Primera Division title is over for Jose Mourinho’s men.
Reflecting back on the outcome of the match, Casillas admitted that things are not as they were before for the defending champions. He stated that although the same players are playing for the club, the results have not gone in their favour.
“Things are not going as well as last season. It’s the same team, but it is not being reflected in the results like last season.”
The shot-stopper feels his team has lost the respect they had on the field. Regardless, he is urging his team-mates to fight until the end.
“We have perhaps lost a little of the respect that we earned ourselves on the pitch. We also have to fight and fight like them.”
Moreover, the Spanish international stated that there are still so many games left to play.
“There are lots of points, it’s December and the first half of the season has not finished.”
The Real Custodian then turned his attention to the Blancos faithful and said it is the club’s duty to keep their loyal fans happy and entertained.
“We have to please the fans who came to the Bernabeu, who want to see their team win and to go home happy.”
Finally, the veteran goalkeeper stated that the Primera Division is a challenging one and also admitted that last night’s result made every one hurt.
“The League is very tough and the result has hurt us.”
The gap of points between Jose Mourinho’s men and Barcelona has now increased to 13 points. The Catalans have also improved their lead at the top of the table to nine points.
