“He is working incredibly hard just as he always has.”

“He is the leader of this team. We follow his lead and help in any way we can. He is a winner and Spanish football owes him a lot.”

The Spanish skipper looks to have no time for nonsense. Just before the formal training commenced, some of the players were having a kick about. Cesc Fabregas went a little over the top with a challenge and Casillas was not best pleased. The Real Madrid ace showed he is a leader among men and pulled Fabregas to one side and had a stern word with the Arsenal star.
