Football: I’m no mole, says Casillas
Casillas was reacting after suggestions that he had divulged team secrets to try and cause trouble for coach Mourinho
MADRID:
Real Madrid goal-keeper Iker Casillas has described as unwarranted suggestions that he acted as a dressing room mole in an attempt to destablise coach Jose Mourinho. “Over the past few months, without wanting it, I’ve been linked to a number of affairs,” the veteran Real skipper wrote on his Facebook page yesterday. “One day they were saying I didn’t encourage my teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, another time I’m a mole and I leak information,” said Casillas. “After 13 years spent in the greatest club in the world it’s quite simply unwarranted.” Casillas was reacting after suggestions in the Spanish media that he had divulged team secrets to try and cause trouble for coach Jose Mourinho with whom it was said the Real captain was involved in a power struggle.
