The Real Madrid captain completed another chapter of his life and treated himself with a dance with the dolphins to mark the special occasions.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 admitted that he is at the top of his game as he turned 31. The Spanish custodian spent the day dancing to the tunes of dolphins. However, with the Euro 2012 around the corner he can ill afford to relax.
The year saw Casillas celebrate his fifth La Liga title, his first as captain and a glorious achievement to go with his honours with the Spanish national team. With a great chunk of his career lying ahead of him, he has already accumulated the Euro and FIFA
World Cup winners’ medals.
Reflecting on the completed football year, Casillas stated that it has been a tough year for him as well as Real Madrid as they usurped http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 from their hegemony in Spanish top flight football.
Despite the enormity of the success the assured custordian enjoyed with Los Blancos, he stated that there is no stopping in his hunt for honours and hopes to improve on their showings of 2011/12 in the coming season.
"Yes, it was a very difficult league to win, that meant a lot for the high level of competition of a rival as Barcelona and the truth is we have to be satisfied with all the work we have done. But I want more and next season we want to excel," Iker said.
At the age of 31 years starts the decline of footballers, who enter a dangerous age of unsure future. The statement stands true for outfield players, however, for a shot-stopper it is the prime age and Casillas is here to stay.
It should be remembered that the Spanish international has a contract with Real Madrid that expires in 2017, effectively tying to the Santiago Bernabeu-based outfit until he is 36 years old.
It is at that advanced age that his lifetime contract with Los Blancos ends, but has a contract extension clause depending on the number of games he plays in his last season.
Casillas has repeatedly voiced his desire to stay with Real Madrid until the end of his career, and should thank http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramon-c30533 Calderon for his belief in his abilities.
