Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas claims that the team's friend Jese Rodriguez has a bright future ahead of him.

In the second leg of the "Copa del Rey" quarterfinals on Tuesday evening, the young Spaniard scored the only goal and contributed to the team's advancement to the semifinals.

"Everything Jese did, he did excellently. He has a bright future ahead of him. We like that he helps the team and takes advantage of his opportunities," the 32-year-old goalkeeper officially told the club's website.

"Jese, Morata, Casemiro, and Nacho have proven to be key members of the team," the Spaniard insisted.

This season, 20-year-old Jese Rodriguez has had plenty of opportunities - in the "Primera" championship, he has already played in 12 matches, in which he scored twice and provided three assists.
