shhh… Iker’s speaking
The man with the most perfect profile in the world (it’s genetic) spoke to the press on Sunday, one day after Madrid’s quite dismal victory over Osasuna. Sunday was also the 12th anniversary of his debut in the Liga. No time like this one to bring out the captain! This is what Iker Casillas had to say.
On the Champions League: we have a lot of hope in this new Champions League season. We want to obtain the three points [against Ajax] because this is a complicated group and we don’t want to lose points at home. We have to start off on a good note.
On the game against Osasuna: we didn’t allow the rival many opportunities at goal. We’re solid and strong, and we hope to continue like that. It’s an important step forward. In addition, it’s important to note that in two Liga games, we haven’t allowed any goals. The best player in both games [against Mallorca and Osasuna] were the rival goalkeepers, which says a lot.
On the team’s objectives: we’re going to take it day by day and bit by bit the results will come. Our objective is to consolidate the team and to function like a machine. I ask the fans at the Bernabéu to have patience with us because we’re a young team and we’re getting stronger. We’re given two months to do what other teams are given two seasons to accomplish. We need a bit more patience.
On Ricardo Carvalho: it’s good to have experienced people. He helps to bring the team together and any team needs people like him.
They should seriously start imprinting Iker’s profile on the faces of coins. It’s THAT amazing.
I for one am willing to give all the patience required. New season, new coach, new players; they’re inevitably going to take a lengthy while to adjust and live up to RM’s reputation. All I ask for is more shirt swapping at the end of matches 🙂
*swoooon*
It’s not just the profile, it’s also the jawline (shave already, Iker! Though you do look sexy when bearded), it’s pretty much everything about Iker apart from his clothes.
And I suppose we can’t grudge him the hideous clothes, if he actually dressed properly he’d cause mass swoons and fainting every time he appeared in public. (Kickette would probably suggest just taking the clothes off, but hey).
Is the man-bag problem also genetic?
