Global press surprised with Iker’s solitary goodbye | July 12, 2015 Goalkeeper Iker Casillas’ farewell press conference which was held this morning at the Santiago Bernabeu has been covered in detail by global media outlets. They unanimously comment on the emotion that the player displayed and were somewhat surprised by the fact he was alone when saying goodbye to the club he has been part of since nine years of age. The (Mirror, UK), called it “emotional”, “painful" is how Italy’s, Gazzetta saw the farewell and Germany’s Sport Bild went further claiming the event was “unworthy” of such a legendary goalkeeper. Gazzetta (Italy): “Iker-Real Madrid, the end of an era. A painful goodbye”. L’ Equipe (France): “Has Casillas has been pushed out of Madrid? Casillas and Real Madrid officially go their separate ways. The club recounted the honors won by the goalkeeper and his departure now paves the way for the arrival of De Gea.” The Guardian (UK): “A tearful Casillas confirms his move to Porto. Dressed in a dark blue shirt and sitting alone in front of the assembled media at the Bernabéu stadium, the 34-year-old, who is leaving for Portuguese side FC Porto, choked up several times as he thanked Real for “giving me everything”. SportBild (Germany): “Casillas was alone with his tears. A farewell unbecoming of a legendary goalkeeper with no representatives from the club present. Iker fought to hold back his tears as he announced his goodbye from a club he has been with for 25 years. He’s had to fight his own fans whistling him and now goes to the Portuguese league where he will be given a warm welcome.” A Bola (Portugal). “Iker Casillas says goodbye after being a Real Madrid player for 25 years. He shed a few tears at an emotional press conference this morning which marks the end of an era”

aren't you a cule? so shouldn't you like not care or actually be happy about this. it's real madrid. serve them right.

okay listen here you little shit, don’t you fucking go there. i don’t care about the rivalry, i don’t care that it’s real madrid. this is iker casillas, this is san iker, and there is no reason in hell he deserves this. so i will be upset about it.

this is more than and outside the rivalry, which incidentally i don’t take to heart as much as other people do. this is a legend and a hero, who has been with his club for twenty-five years, who has saved them and lifted them and given them everything, being forced out of his own home because of the whims of a power-crazy dickhead. iker is real madrid, in the same way that xavi is “more cule than the flag”. but we didn’t force him out. lucho personally asked him to stay. we sent him off in the best way possible. iker left real madrid alone, trying not to cry at his own press conference, with no one to offer a goodbye tribute for him.

i already hated florentino perez before this. now if he were on fire and i had water, i would drink it. this is unacceptable, unbelievable, and unforgivable. 

i love iker, and fuck the rivalry. i’ve seen legendary keepers but if you asked me to pick, it will always, always be him. for spain and for real madrid, he’s been a legend, a hero, an inspiration, and a force upon which the team relies on. for me, no one will ever compare. para mí siempre será el mejor del mundo. siempre le.

i hope the real madrid board, the ones who condoned this, get their comeuppance. but the club itself – the team, the fans – they don’t deserve this. and neither does iker. he should have been given so much more.

so yes i will care, and no i won’t be happy. i don’t care if it’s real madrid.

he was just a kid when he joined real madrid he grew up in real madrid he gave his entire life for real madrid he embodies everything good about this club he worked his ass off and he became captain and lead us to so many victories and trophies and he never turned his back on us despite the smear campaigns and the boos and jeers from the crowd he never once complained or made a statement about how fucking horrible madridistas are to him he just took it all and kept on going. and you know what the worst part is? he was still willing to put up with it all he said he wasn’t going to leave don’t think for a second that him leaving to porto is by choice this is just another legend being pushed out by the management because they’re all a bunch of ungrateful pieces of shit. iker gave his entire life for real madrid and he was still willing to give more even if he had to sit on the bench or be greeted by boos from his own team’s so called fans. he fought for us so hard words can’t even describe how much he loved this club and this is what he gets at the end? we never fucking deserved him. thank you for everything, capi. you’ll always be our captain. you’ll always be our iker.

plz tell me how Perez (had been trying to get rid of Iker and fuck him mentally). i know that hes the best goalkeeper we ever had. but hes not the best anymore, he cant play in our team so it's either retire or leaving and since he want to play the euro he left! i know he didnt want to leave but also he want to play as a starter! we cant do that, so hes out. raul was "kicked" as you love to say cuz he didnt know when to retire! just like iker.

Okay this can get a bit lenghty. Three days ago journalists from the newspaper El Mundo visited the Casillas Fernández family (Iker’s parents) to ask them about the subject of their son leaving Real Madrid. The interview is the most extense and detailed I’ve seen about the subject but I managed to translate the most important phrases which, if you wish to read, are in my blog under the #quote tag (sergioramo-s.tumblr.com/tagged/quote) or you can look down into my blog also.

There, his parents issue the discrediting campaign created by Florentino in 2010, with help of some journalists and some Spanish press, with the objective of fucking up Iker Casillas’ image and madridismo calling him a mole for “filtrating secret information of the locker room”. Also with the help of Mourinho and Arbeloa, which are believed Florentino has been behind their actions against Iker Casillas, the whistles at El Bernabéu are said to be behind this campaign too. Their parents also talk about how the first two presidents Iker got to work for at Real Madrid were always gentlemens towards Iker and his family, while Florentino was the opposite. His mom talks about how she has seen Iker suffer for long years because of the mistreatment her son had been receiving from the directives, different from the other players, she mentions how he never tells his problems to anyone because he suffers inside and says how it all goes back since 2005, when Florentino waited until the last day to renew Iker’s contract which was interpreted as Perez not really wanting Iker. His mom also issues the fact Florentino has always preferred tall players and how he was obsessed with signing Buffon, so that’s why he didn’t like Iker. And if we continue digging we can probably find more awful actions of Perez against Casillas but I think the ones I mentioned are enough.
