Speaking to Goal on Wednesday, October 15, 2014 he said: “I’ve never felt like doing better than he did at the club, I’ve other things to think about. I’ve always just tried to do my best every day.”
When asked on the issue with the club’s goalkeeper, Ike Casillas, he said: “Discussion over my goalkeeper is closed. I believe that the future of Casillas will continue to be linked to Real Madrid. He is part of the history of this club and when he retires he will come to this forum and accompany Sanchis and Hierro to discuss the European Cups he has won.”
