The Spanish national team’s captain spoke about the Spanish La Liga title race and expressed that he pays no attention to any comments made by Pep Guardiola.
Casillas has stressed that he is not distracted by the remarks and thoughts of the Barcelona head coach, who spoke about the Liga BBVA title race.
The Spanish shot-stopper emphasized that his side have their own mentality and do not lend ears to other people in assuming the situation.
The Spanish star stated that Los Blancos are only focused on their own football and draw conclusions from their own statements.
This past weekend saw some changes at the top of the Spanish Primera Division’s league standings as the top two clubs in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 registered their respective results from their fixtures.
The defending Spanish champions, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, secured a victory over Sevilla on the road. Pep Guardiola’s men played their match on Saturday and emerged 2-0 victorious away from home.
On the other hand, Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 stalemate at home, as Malaga visited the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.
Sunday’s result was hardly in the favour of the league leaders as they reduced their advantage over Barcelona to 8 points.
Prior to this, Barcelona’s head coach remarked that it will be nearly impossible for his team to bounce back in the Spanish Primera. Many deduced the statement to be true, since Los Vikingos are tipped as heavy favourites to win the Spanish title.
However, the statement made by Guardiola may appear to be a mind-game now, as Madrid appeared complacent in their match against Malaga.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 has maintained that he does not care about what the Catalan mentor has to say.
While talking to reporter, the Spanish captain was quoted as saying:
"I don't care what Guardiola says. It's important to me what our coach has to say and how we feel. We never thought we had won the league and we have to defend our place in every game. We are about to play difficult matches on the road and must focus on
each one at a time. We want to win again.”
"We had a 10-point lead and it's annoying to drop it by two, but there are 11 games left and we'll do our best to win. We must stand united with our fans till the end. We understand the Bernabeu crowd is very demanding."
Real Madrid’s next match in the Spanish La Liga is set to take place on Wednesday as they travel away from home to face Villarreal.
