I.Casillas: we must be grateful to J.Mourinho © EuroFootball.com

"Real" Madrid captain Iker Casillas spoke at a press conference about former coach Jose Mourinho and current coach Carlo Ancelotti.

The Spanish national team goalkeeper thanked the specialist from Portugal, as he made a significant contribution to the team and helped them win three titles in three years.

"I want to thank Jose Mourinho. He is a winner and always aimed to win all possible titles. Last season we didn't win any titles, even though we were close," said I. Casillas.

The footballer also commented on C. Ancelotti: "I don't know this coach very well and I can't say the differences and similarities between him and Mourinho, but I am convinced that with Carlo we can win everything."

Lately, "Real" Madrid has been chasing Tottenham star Gareth Bale. The 32-year-old goalkeeper recognizes that Bale is one of the best footballers in Europe.

"We are talking about a player who is one of the top four in Europe, so it is normal for a club like "Real" to be interested in him," concluded the goalkeeper.
