Iker Casillas for the attitude to the goalkeepers and his friendship with Buffon

The goalkeeper of Real Madrid and the Spanish national team Iker Casillas commended his friendship with his counterpart Gianluigi Buffon, who is also a guard No1 of Juventus Italy. On Saturday Buffon and his teammates in the "Squadra Adzzurra" will visit the Bulgarian national team at the National Stadium "Vasil Levski" in the qualification for Euro 2016.

"To us do not apply in the same way as to outfield players. To be placed among the three, four or five best players in the world, a goalkeeper should have done a phenomenal year and would won numerous of trophies, while for the other players maybe this is not the same. It would be nice for us the goalkeepers always to be given due to the work which we do on the field, "shared for the UEFA website the 33 years old Casillas.

"It greatly helped me that Gigi Buffon started his career so young. When you see that a young goalkeeper of Parma starts to keep for the national team of Italy, because the coaches believe him, it gives you the confidence that you also can do it. Our careers of practice developed in the same way, because I also started very young, 17 or 18 years and we still play, "said Casillas, speaking for the 37-year-old Buffon. "Whenever we open a chance, we have a good conversation. This is a friendship formed over many years," said Casillas.
