The Real Madrid captain has stated that he does not want to retire before the age of 35 or 36, and also reflected that he wants to hang his boots while being a part of the Santiago Bernabeu-based outfit.
The Spanish shot-stopper spoke about when he wants to hang his boots from the beautiful game as he is considered to be one of the best goalkeepers in the history of the game.
Moreover, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 is also one of the most decorated goalkeepers in the history of football as he has not only won a lot of trophies with his team; in fact, he has also managed to win a lot of individual honours, including the Golden Glove award which
he won in the FIFA World Cup 2010.
Amongst his most recent accomplishments, Iker Casillas helped the Spanish national team win two Euros in succession.
Spain became the first side in the history of the game to win the European competition twice in a row, something which no other team has managed to accomplish; and this happened while they were playing under the captaincy of the Real Madrid goalkeeper.
Moreover, under his captaincy, Spain also won the FIFA World Cup in 2010, which took place in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757.

Moreover, Casillas also helped Los Blancos win the Spanish La Liga last season and he was in top form while playing for both, club and country.
When Casillas was asked about his retirement plans, the Spanish shot-stopper said:
“I will play until my head says so, rather than my body. The wear of playing with the elite is more a mental one and there is a lot of pressure to being a professional, even though it also has its advantages.”
“My idea would be to play on until I am 35 or 36, which is when I reach the end of my contract with Real Madrid.”
“Will I play for another club? Today I say no. This is my club and my home, but if I had to do so in the future then it would be for a team outside of Spain, so as not to enter into direct competition against Madrid.”
