Comparison El Classico – Victor Valdes vs. Iker Casillas
The Spanish captain Iker Casillas and the Catalan man Victor Valdes are going to be head to head when the El Classico is going to take place next week in the Spanish La Liga. The two big Spanish teams are going to be head-to-head as Barcelona
are going to entertain whilst battling with Real Madrid in the Nou Camp.
Iker Casillas is definitely one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the moment. Many even call him as the best goalkeeper and they consider him to be the better than the legendary Manchester United goal stopper Peter Schmeichel.
When Iker Casillas and Victor Valdes are going to be head-to-head they are going to be having a huge responsibility on their shoulders as the whole team is going to be relying on their goal stopping techniques. As the legendary Lionel
Messi is going to be troublesome for Iker Casillas, it is going to be the in-form Portuguese captain Cristiano Ronaldo for the Los Blancos who is going to trouble with his extraordinary shots on goal.
Last year it was Valdes who managed to block a shot from Ronaldo when he was one-on-one but this time round things are a little different. The Los Blancos are under Jose Mourinho who helped Inter Milan win the UEFA Champions League last
season. While performing under the Portuguese coach the Los Blancos have become even more deadly and they are a force that is waiting to be stopped and they haven’t lost a single match while the Catalan giants have already lost a game to the newly promoted
side Hercules.
Iker Casillas definitely has a better record than Victor Valdes who is still waiting to become a part of the Spanish first team which is being led by Iker Casillas the captain of the Spanish team and the Los Blancos. He is definitely the
best there was there is and there ever will be as he guards the goal for the Los Blancos.
For the past two seasons it has been Victor Valdes who has conceded the least amount of goals even though Iker Casillas was a part of the Spanish La Liga as well. Valdes works in a totally different way than Iker Casillas. The Catalan
goalkeeper combines well with his defence and takes action with their help while Iker Casillas is a goal stopping machine and he can singlehandedly take control of the game with his outstanding saves. No matter it is Lionel Messi in front of Casillas, the
Spaniard is expected to do wonders as the reflex-master can block the shot whenever he wants to.
The whole Spain remembers how Iker Casillas managed to save a shot from Arjen Robben during the FIFA World Cup 2010’s final and it was the same Spanish and Real Madrid number 1 who stopped a shot taken from a yard out by the Sevilla man
Jesus Navas. Whenever Iker Casillas is in full form, there are few strikers who can find a way past him and what is going to happen during the El Classico only time can tell.
