In an interview with sports daily Marca, Iker Casillas claims to have little doubt that he'll end his footballing career playing for Real Madrid.
They're going to name a street after you at this rate, but where?
(Laughs) Hey, having a street named after you only happens when you're no longer here! Perhaps in Mostoles, and I hope its discreet. I'm all about discretion.
Do you dare say that you'll be playing for Real Madrid when you hang up your boots?
Without a doubt, but I wouldn't mind playing in the MLS for a while so that one day if I have a kid he can learn English.
What do you do that would let us know that you're comfortable during a match?
It's bad when you see me talk a lot. That means I am nervous and that I don't know where to stand. If I'm quiet it means that I am very focused.
Do you ever ask yourself how you make some of the saves you do?
Quite often. Sometimes they shoot from up close and I save it with my ear, or sometimes they shoot from 40 metres out and I tell myself, "Boy, am I going to mess up." But what I don't like is when I get into the dressing room and get all buttered up. It's embarrassing, especially with a teammate at my side.
A goalkeeper is synonymous of courage.
I may be a bit of a coward when it comes to some things such as final decisions. It's hard for me. Although I do have my own ideas, I always go along with what others say so I don't offend them.
Where would you be had you stayed in school?
I thought about studying Business. I could have also been a policeman because I always hung out with my cousin who was one.
Still have long football talks with your dad?
Less now because I don't live at home, but we always find time when we're together.
What's harder: Winning the Balon d'Or or the Euro with Spain?
Give me the Balon d'Or.
Tell Schuster not to compare Madrid with Federer. He's lost two straight to Nalbaldian.
But he's still number one in the world, right? It's a shame it's not Nadal.
What would you ask Schuster if you were a reporter?
If he would coach Barça after coaching Madrid.
And Rijkaard?
I'd ask how he dealt with the pressure during his first year. I felt sorry for him when I saw him during Cup matches. But look what he's done since!
Raúl?
How he holds up, especially after a match that he didn't perform well in.
And now Iker.
Too hard! I'd ask if he would rather coach Real Madrid or be its President.
And your answer would be?
I would like to, but only by starting from the bottom. Who knows?! Whatever comes up because I would also like to be a television commentator.
The nicest stadium you've played in?
The Bernabéu, but I did enjoy the old Wembley when I played with the Under-15 squad.
I thought you were going to say the Camp Nou.
It's a great stadium; a lot more open than the Bernabéu.
