Ancelotti brought smiles back in Madrid: Casillas

Turin, May 5 : Spanish football club Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas praised Carlo Ancelotti, saying that the Italian mager “brought the smile back to Madrid” following the reign of Portuguese Jose Mourinho.

“He brought the smile back to Madrid. He gave us the 10th European Cup which we had been pursuing for 12 years. He closed a historical year (2014) with Real Madrid with four titles. Nobody had ever done that,” Casillas said on Monday, reports Efe.

Regarding the Champions League semifil against Juventus, the ‘Los Blancos’ captain said that it will be an exciting match. Both teams have many talents with diverse playing styles but the goalkeeper expressed that the team would try to leave Turin with an excellent result.

Although Casillas does not expect a result similar to that of the quarterfils against Atletico Madrid, as Juventus always set out to win in Italy, whether in the Champions League or in playoffs.IANS
