Casillas: “Xavi has come from Qatar and he has many experiences to live”

Madrid, 23 Mar Iker Casillas, former Real Madrid and Spanish national team reporter, said Wednesday that his friend Xavi Hernández, after returning from Qatar, has “many good and bad experiences to live” on the benches and avoided his comparison with Pep Guardiola, with whom the Catalan shared costumes at Barcelona. Casillas, who supported with his presence the new season of the Genuine League, the football championship for people with intellectual disabilities, spoke about Real Madrid and the defeat suffered on the last day against Barcelona. “In football you live from day to day and when you lose, and even more against Barcelona, it is criticized. The good thing that exists is speed because there are other parties. Now what Real Madrid has to do is think about the future it has in the two remaining competitions,” Casillas said. One of Real Madrid's most important players this season is the Brazilian Vinicius Junior, who was not successful against Barcelona. “Vinicius has had a very good progression since he arrived and at Real Madrid they are going to demand much more from him. We want anyone who wears the white shirt to give their best and with the good progression they have had, they will have to be aware of it”, he said. Asked about the parallels as coaches between Xavi Hernandez and Pep Guardiola, Casillas was blunt. “Everything has a process, a path, and that is known and analyzed as the days go by. Xavi has come from Qatar and he still has many experiences to live, good and bad,” he concluded.
