The Spanish shot-stopper is considered to be a favourite to win the Ballon d’Or award but when it comes to backing a player to win it, the Spaniard is unsure.
Recently there were many football fans and celebrities who suggested that Iker Casillas should be winning the Ballon d’Or award this season. The Spaniard is simply a phenomenal player and has helped Spain win a lot of silverware in the last four years.
In the recent edition of the European Championship, Iker Casillas helped Spain win the European title for the second time in succession, which makes the Spanish side the only team in history to achieve this feat.
Casillas has not only helped http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 win the Euro 2012; he was also present when the Spanish national team won the FIFA World Cup back in 2010. Moreover, he was also the captain of the Spanish national team when they won the European title in the year 2008.
This means that all the success which the Spanish team has managed to achieve, it was under the tutelage of Iker Casillas.
Since the time he has become the captain of the Spanish national team, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 has done wonders for them and has helped them win three international titles in a matter of four years.
Spain are still considered to be favourites to win the FIFA World Cup in the year 2014.
Casillas has not only achieved the Euro 2012 title this season. The Spanish goalkeeper is also the captain of Real Madrid and has helped them win the Spanish La Liga after three seasons.

While many are backing Casillas to win the award, when it comes down to supporting someone to win it, the Spanish star is unsure who to vote for.
While speaking to the press, Iker Casillas said:
"I have to analyse it well. It`s a tough vote because there are many very good players.
"But I have plenty of time to think about it as I don`t have to vote until December."
Iker Casillas will soon be resuming pre-season training for Real Madrid after helping Spain win the Euro 2012.
