The Manchester United goalkeeper has come out and put his weight behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 as talk of the Spanish national team captain being one of the nominees and the foremost contenders to win the Ballon d’Or award catches pace...

in the final of the European Championships. Casillas won the Spanish Primera Division with Real Madrid earlier on in the season before taking on his responsibilities as the Spanish national team captain to lead the defending European champions out at the European
Championships in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.
Spain did incredibly well at the EUROs as they gathered form as the tournament progressed onwards and eventually peaked in the final where they demolished and humiliated Italy to win their third straight international trophy.
After winning the European Championships in 2008, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757 followed up by yet another triumph in EURO 2012. Casillas has been at the centre of Real Madrid’s title win in Spain
and the Spanish national team’s win at the European Championships and now it is widely believed that he is a favourite to win the Ballon d’Or award.
The Spanish national team captain has been an outstanding servant for both club and country for the past 10 years and the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463 who belong to a newer generation of players have learned immensely from Casillas’ performances
over the years.
De Gea said, "He is the best goalkeeper in the world. He has been playing at the highest level for many years and he is the captain of Real Madrid and Spain. He has won three international titles in the last four years; he has
been part of the football elite for a long time.”
The Manchester United goalkeeper added, "It is time to give the Ballon d'Or to a goalkeeper. Iker deserves it." De Gea recently had a difficult first season in English football with Manchester United but the young shot stopper
gained confidence near the end of the league campaign even though the Red Devils failed to retain their league trophy after losing out to Manchester City on goal difference.
