The Portuguese mentor heaped praise over the veteran shot stopper, claiming that he has full faith in the Spaniard regardless of the defensive issues faced by Los Blancos.
Real Madrid head coach, Jose Mourinho, is ready to rely on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 to save the day as the Whites have a number of injured players, particularly in defence.
The Special One lavished admiration over Casillas and exclaimed that he can cope under pressure. According to the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 managed, his side’s skipper has the ability to keep the other team out despite playing without important members of the squad.
At the moment, three of Madrid’s three important defensive players are missing due to injury. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 have been sidelined for an extended period of time after the international break.
Quite understandably, this represents a great problem for the former Chelsea and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan manager, who understands the weakness his team has in terms of area under question.
Nevertheless, the astute tactician has voiced that he has complete faith in the side’s goalkeeper who has been performing for the current Spanish champions through thick and thin.
Mourinho also took out the time to comment about rumours that suggested that a smear campaign was taking place against Casillas. The mentor asserted that he had no knowledge of this and maintained that such matters should not be given any sort of importance.
"That doesn't worry me, as it would just be a waste of my time. What really matters is that we believe in our keeper and he believes in himself. He's not a young impressionable kid and this situation won't bother him,” the 49-year-old was quoted as saying
by Marca.
Mourinho then went on to voice his opinion regarding the race for the title in the Spanish La Liga and his side’s chances in the UEFA Champions League.
He admitted that Los Merengues did not have a good start to the new season as far as the Liga BBVA is concerned.
"We haven't got off to a great start to the league in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, we dropped some points but now we are winning games. In Europe we have won all six points and this has been crucial; one match at home and one away against Ajax, a team capable of taking points
off the three main challengers".
