"There's a great atmosphere on this team"

Casillas: "We must be prudent and respect Lyon"

Realmadrid.com

Iker Casillas handed out presents to more than 500 needy children on Friday in collaboration with the Clinica Menorca Foundation. The Madridista captain managed to find time to discuss current events surrounding the team, including the recent Champions League draw.

"Lyon are a serious opponent who we have to respect, especially after last year when everyone thought Real Madrid were going to go through to the quarterfinals, which wasn't the case. We've got past experience, albeit bad, but now we must be prudent and respect Lyon."

"We are looking forward to Lyon because they eliminated us last year, but we don't feel a sense of revenge as if it was a life or death matter. It is an important match for us if we are to overcome that hurdle, but we must respect our opponent as eliminated us last year although they may have appeared to be the weaker side."

"There are people who try to create controversy and a bad atmosphere within the team when in fact it is just the opposite. Cristiano and I get along very well. We come from different places, but it doesn't mean we are distant or have confrontations. Quite the opposite. There are no groups or clicks here. There is a great atmosphere. We are a young group and we get along. There are good vibes all around. We must move on and not be concerned about such stupidities."

"We have plenty of players to step in on defense. Albiol can play as a center back or right back, Arbeloa can play on either side... We are not at all worried about Sunday."

"Sergio and I had lunch with the top brass on Thursday to discuss how the season is unfolding. It's good that the president sits down with the captains every so often to hear our side of things and to see how things are going."

Iker: "Real Madrid is above Cristiano Ronaldo and Iker Casillas"

The other day you said that Messi is the best player in the world. Did Cristiano Ronaldo get mad?

No, no I don't think it's something that would bother him. They only asked me my opinion on the three nominees and I said Messi was the best, but I don't think Iniesta or Xavi will get mad because I said Messi. I want Xavi or Iniesta to win it because they are my friends, they're Spaniards and I think now is the time for a Spaniard to win it.

I asked you this because of all the rumors that are coming out about the topic involving Cristiano. You should speak because it seems like he feels a little alone in the face of the whistles and the tackles. ..The other day when when he scored a goal he hugged Marcelo and Pepe...and I don't remember if he also hugged Lass and Di Maria...all the mess that was mounted since September when they brought the video into the dressing room

Not by a long shot. We have a very good relationship with them. Everyone is of their mother and of their father (wtf?), that happens in every home.

That could be difference between the Real Madrid dressing room and that of Barca's (*eyeroll*). In Barca's dressing room, there are also problems, and I know, but everyone has their role. But in yours, since there are a lot of stars...you, for example, are the biggest figure in the Spanish media, Cristiano Ronaldo is that for the rest of the world, one scores the goals, the other stops them...but if that is not corrected and you don't talk about it it can break the dressing room

There are always problems in the dressing room, I'm not going to tell you there aren't, I'm not going to deny that in ours there have been. Not now, but long ago there were, but the good thing is that we have always solved them by talking. My issue is an issue that was discussed and resolved and that is kept there, it shouldn't be talked about more. There are people who will talk or comment, they will try to create any sort of instability...But right now, the dressing room is well, we seek the stability of the group. The group is more important that any player. Real Madrid is above that, Real Madrid is above Cristiano Ronaldo and Iker Casillas, that's how it is, right now and always.

You are the captain, you need to talk to Cristiano Ronaldo. For example, if Messi receives a tackle, everyone goes to defend him. Cristiano complains because he gets hit and you don't go to defend him.

Yeah, but I also don't go to celebrate a goal. What I don't want is to seek a controversy where none exists. Everyone is how they are, Di Maria is one way, Pepe another way, Cristiano another way, I'm another way... What we all want is that the group functions

"Rumours concerning Cristiano and Casillas' relationship are made up in order to sell newspapers"

"We are having a perfect season; we haven't lost any of our chances to win titles"

Alberto Navarro / Translation by Michael J. O'Donnell

Jose Mourinho adressed the media the day prior to facing Sevilla at the Bernabeu. The coach asked fans to pack the stadium in support of the team.

"The match against Sevilla is worth three points regardless of absences on either team. Both sides want to win for different reasons. Our fans must always make a difference and they are always there for us at home. The two games we have yet to play before the new year are important. If I may, I'd like to ask the fans to come to the stadium. We will give our all in both games and they will help us win with their support."

"Gregorio Manzano is the coach of Sevilla, a team with quality players. I have great respect for him and his side. I will greet him before the match, just like I greet every other coach at my stadium."

"Rumours concerning Cristiano and Casillas' relationship are made up in order to sell newspapers when there are no real interesting news. Some news that are made up, such as false signings, are much less detrimental to the image of players. That's all it is. There are no problems on my squad. We don't want to play this game, but I do have to say me have no internal strife whatsoever."

"The Medical Staff knew we lacked men and that getting at least one out of the infirmary would be important to us. Sergio Ramos is ready and he wants to play, so he will. He'll have time to recover in the holidays if he happens to experience some problems during the match. He did everything he could to play again, as befits a true captain and team worker."

"Arbeloa will be a starter. He always does well in any position and he is a great player on this squad. He is performing brilliantly. Players earn a starting position by doing a good job in training and by playing games."

"This has been the best year in my career. I would give myself an 11 out of 10. I won every cvhampionship I played in last season and we currently have lost none of our chances to win titles at Real Madrid. The league is very open still. We've qualified for the Last 16 both in the Copa del Rey and the Champions League. We also were the best side in the Champions League group stage. This season has been perfect for us so far."

"It will be good for Benzema to play if we don't experience problems during the match. I didn't need forwards in the last 20 minutes of our match against Zaragoza because we were already winning 3-1. Problems could arise if we happen to be losing or drawing the match with so little time left, forcing me to come up with a more offensive lineup. I therefore have to study the match well in order to decide if I'll use Benzema as a starter or if I'll keep him on the bench. It's better for him to play, but the same goes for Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria."

"Kaka was very excited and moved for training with the team again today. We want him to continue to work with his team-mates until Wednesday. We want him to train with the squad more often after the holidays in order to be able to play, or at least be benched, by mid-January."

"We will not have a team get-together on 31 December. It isn't true. I will have the traditional grapes at home. If the players want to get together, then let it be so, but my staf and I will be with our families."

"Pressure doesn't really affect me. I suffered more from it in Italy than I do here. I had to spend 90 minutes addressing the media after a game in Italy. The only thing I have to do over here is to ask my colleagues on other teams when I can give a press conference, given that some of them are more vulnerable and therefore want to choose when to do their's. We work well over here, and we all head in the same direction, with the same style of addressing the media. I'll never get tired with this system."
