Iker Casillas Is My Best Player In Real Madrid - Diego Simeone

'El Cholo' Simeone surprised everyone when he revealed the name of the Real Madrid's best player after the departure of Di María, "Casillas is the one I like the best at Real Madrid".Who's in charge in the capital? "In 'la Liga' we are and in Europe, Real Madrid". Who's the favourite? "It's not just on the premise that over 38 games, the norm is Madrid or Barça win, but a single match is another thing and it's there that we have a good chance".

Speaking of new arrival Cerci, "He's been working with us for ten days. He's working very hard. We need him for his speed. He'll be in the 18 for tomorrow".


On Atlético's violent reputation, "I see it as something natural. You can discuss it and dispute it but when all's said and done the game is football, there's contact and that's why the referee's there to decide what's intentional. We're not violent, but we are a hard-working, high intensity team. Those were are weapons last year".

In response to Ancelotti he said, "What he said is normal. Between colleagues, away from the controversies, we know it is a game. We lost the cup and you didn't say anything despite the fact we played the same. We need to use our weapons to even up the match".

On Koke, "When I arrived here he was going to go to Malaga and I told him he was going to be a key player in the team and time has proved me right. He hasn't reached his ceiling and he has more to give".
