Iker Casillas returned to Madrid on Wednesday after spending the last
few days in the Seychelles. The first thing he did was to visit
Valdebebas to meet with the new technical staff.
Iker is already
counting down the days until he starts working with Carlo Ancelotti.
Although he doesn't need to join training until the 28th, the technical
staff is asking him to get out onto the pitch already.
He arrived
when the training session had finished. Iker said hi to Cristiano
Ronaldo, Diego López, Kaká, Higuaín, Benzema, Pepe… not to forget the
new signings such as Isco, Illarramendi, Casemiro and Carvajal, who he
wished the best of luck. He shared jokes with others and seemed to have a
relaxed body language. Iker's visit livened up the morning.
At
11:30 he passed by the residence. Ancelotti was on one of the terraces
when he saw Casillas approach. It was a big surprise for the coach. He
reacted with a satisfied smile, a warm handshake and some friendly pats
on the shoulder for the keeper.
Zidane and William Vacchi
(goalkeeper coach) soon turned up with some of Carlo's assistants. And
Zidane's face also lit up when he saw Iker, with the happiness of seeing
an old friend again.
Ancelotti expressed his expectations and
gave Casillas motivation. He told the keeper that he wants him to be the
captain, that he believes in his skills and experience, and that he
needs to set a good example. He also told him that he'll have to work
hard. He told Iker that he has faith in him and that he also has great
expectations regarding what he can achieve.
