December 3, 200717 yr Raúl Will Go To Euro 2008 On This Form - Casillas Iker Casillas believes that if Raúl continues to score goals for Real Madrid then he could force his way back into the Spain squad for the European Championships next year.The 26-year-old goalkeeper was impressed after los Merengues' captain scored twice in the team's victory over Racing Santander and tipped him for an international comeback."If he continues like this Luis Aragonés will take him to the European Championships," Casillas said."We have so many good players at the top level that it is difficult to select one. The coach knows the balue of them all though and I am convinced that if he is playing like this he will go."He has been a fundamental player for the national team and wants to return."Casillas was making his 400th appearance for Madrid in the Racing game and he admits that he has been through so much since making his debut as a teenager."I look back over it with nostalgia and with pride. It is not easy to play for eight years with Real Madrid, where I have enjoyed good times and bad," he continued."If I think back to when I was 18 and where I am now it seems crazy."Finally, Casillas reflected on the gruelling schedule at Madrid and is already looking forward the festive break later this month."In the last three months we have not stopped and that makes things hard. Every week there is the league, Champions League, international games," he explained."We are not machines and it can affect you. Spending all day in hotels can affect your morale. But you have to enjoy this profession and relax at Christmas."
