Iker Casillas Fernandez

Iker Casillas is one of the best goalkeepers in the history of football, a former captain of the Spanish national team, a world champion, a two-time European champion, five-time champion of Spain (in the Madrid team). Twice as a member of Real Madrid took the Copa del Rey, four - the Super Cup. Three times the winner of the Champions League, the world champion. Six-time member of the UEFA Team of the Year. 

And these are not all achievements of Iker Casillas - titles and awards can be listed endlessly. In addition, he is among the three sexiest football players in the world, which adds to millions of football fans and an army of female fans.

Iker Casillas was born on May 20, 1981, in Mostoles, Spain. Mother - Maria del Carmen, father - Jose Luis, brother - Unai Fernandez. Iker's mother worked as a hairdresser, his father served in the Ministry of Education. The family was not a football player, none of the members played football professionally. But his father was from Bilbao and was a fan of the Atletico team.

Mostoles is a provincial town near Madrid. Its inhabitants are members of the working class. Iker and his friends went out to play in the park next door. The game was played quarter by quarter. Even the Champions League final was. As a child, the boy sometimes went to Real Madrid matches at the Bernabeu Stadium. These were, he said, the brightest moments of childhood.

As a boy he was interested in everything related to football, but the main interest was caused by goalkeepers. Childhood idols: Buyo, Canisares, Schmeichel. Once at the school, not far from Iker's house, there was an "open day" of the Real Madrid club. The father took the boy to the audition. The eight-year-old goalkeeper liked the coaches, but was too young. Six months later the boy tried again and was accepted. From that moment Iker Casillas' journey to big football began. Iker joined the junior team under coach Vicente Del Bosque.

Until 1999 he played in the youth team. He has won the U-15, U-16, U-21 and Meridian Cup three times. Real Madrid made a serious appearance in 1999, in Real Madrid's final champions-league victory over Valencia. Iker replaced goalkeeper Bodo Illgner, who was injured. For a while, Cesar was the goalkeeper. Casillas was playing for Real Madrid C and Real Madrid Castilla at the time. In 2000, he returned to the main team.

After the uefa Champions League final of 2001/02 (Madrid - Bayer, 2:1) Casillas, having excellent physical data (height - 181 cm, weight - 84 kg), firmly took the place of the first goalkeeper of the "royal club". In the 2002/03 season, the young goalkeeper defended 38 matches and helped the team to become the champion of Spain, and also played in 15 matches of the Champions League. In 2014, Casillas won the Champions League for the third time with Real Madrid, which was led by Ancelotti, who succeeded Jose Mourinho in 2013.

With Mourinho, Iker's relationship was not the best. For ten years, Casillas was invariably the first goalkeeper of the "royal club". It was only in December 2012 that he sat on the bench for the first time in the match against Malaga. He was replaced by Antonio Adan. This coaching decision caused a storm of indignation among fans of the "living icon" of the Santiago Bernabeu. Scandal broke out in the press and near-football circles. 

But Mourinho was adamant that it was the coach's technical decision: Adan is better and the problems are much more global because the team is not functioning in a defensive phase. The conflict between the coach and the player was gaining momentum. Jose Mourinho soon replaced Anthony Adani with Diego Lopez. Casillas continued to sit on the bench.

After the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti's coaching staff, the captain's case was not immediately settled. Iker played only as a cup goalkeeper during the 2013/14 season. But the following season the coach entrusted his favorite player of Madrid already 90% of the games in the first team.

Iker Casillas' best saves came in a career at Real Madrid in 2009-2014.

In July 2014, Iker Casillas was offered a move to Arsenal. The goalkeeper commented on the contract unequivocally:

The goalkeeper said of his departure from Real Madrid in 2015:

Spain

Iker Casillas' first appearance in the national team took place at Euro 2000. Really, a backup player. He took the field for the first time, replacing the injured Santiago Canizares at the World Cup in Japan and Korea. He played well against Paraguay. After winning on penalties, the Spaniards advanced to the next stage.

At Euro 2004 he played 8 matches in the first team. In 2008, spain won the European Championship with captain Iker Casillas. In 2010, at the World Cup, captain Casillas and his team became champions. FIFA named Casillas as the best goalkeeper of the championship.

Goalkeeper Sergio Ramos and Xavi's sidekicks took to the pitch for Spain with Iker Casillas. Sergio is a Defender of Real Madrid. But with a friend Xavi Iker had to compete on the field. After all, Xavi is the star of Barcelona.

In late July 2016, Casillas posted a snippet of the film "Rambo: First Blood 2" on his Twitter page, where Rambo declined an offer to remain in the military. Iker captioned the video with the words:

In this way, he told the world about the end of his career in the Spanish national team. At the European Championship in 2016, Iker did not defend a single match. He was replaced by David de Gea. Players and fans of Iker Casillas' talent wrote words of gratitude and love to the goalkeeper. The hashtag "Thank you, Casillas" gained popularity on Twitter.

However, there were also malicious. Thus, Espanyol goalkeeper Diego Lopez stated in an October interview:

In July 2015, real Madrid officially announced Casillas' move to Portuguese club Porto.

Casillas has conceded 23 goals in 26 appearances since joining Porto. Porto were eliminated from the Champions League after failing to qualify from the group with Chelsea, Dynamo Kyiv and Maccabi. 

And in the 1/16 final of the Europa League the team lost to Borussia Dortmund. After this, the president of Porto, Jorge Pinto da Costa, announced Casillas' contract:

On 15 March 2017, 35-year-old Porto goalkeeper Iker Casillas said after the match against Juventus (0:1) in the Champions League 1/8 that he enjoys working for the Portuguese club and would like to continue his career there.

Prior to meeting his future wife, Iker had been dating "Miss Spain 2003" Eva Gonzalez for four years. According to rumors, the couple broke up because of the work of the girl - a contract for advertising for women, which caused barbs and offensive shouts against the goalkeeper. 

During the unfortunate moments on the field, women's hygiene products fell on Iker's head from the stands. It was funny to everyone except the footballer. They parted without scandals. The ex-girlfriend remembers the goalkeeper only with kind words:

After the end of the relationship with Eva Casillas was comforted in the arms of another model - Adriana Artines. That connection didn't last long.

She is a popular sports reporter, beautiful woman journalist Sarah Carbonero. He is a star of world football, handsome and a favorite of women Iker Casillas. Fate could not help but bring them together.Sarah Carbonero before meeting with Iker also wasted time. She was even called a treacherous sedgeed and a careerist. Novels helped in pushing the girl up the career ladder. At first, Sarah had an affair with the journalist of the radio station "Marca" David Sanchez. Sanchez was replaced by another journalist who is rumored to have helped Carbonero get a job on Spain's LaSexta sports channel.

The meeting between Carbonero and Casillas took place at the Confederations Cup in South Africa. Spain then unexpectedly lost the semifinals of the U.S. national team. Sarah interviewed the team after the match. Iker from the journalist got a couple of unflattering comments about the unsuccessful game. He did not remain in debt and answered the girl the same. The goalkeeper left without waiting for the interview to end. But the luxurious green-eyed brunette fell into his soul. 

Soon the goalkeeper decided to make amends for the sharpness and sent Sarah a bouquet of flowers. But the journalist did not accept the apology. Casillas was persistent: again and again he sent flowers. Finally, the heart of the proud beauty melted.

The couple's relationship developed rapidly. In the press there were rumors about a couple in love. Casillas was even accused of being too busy with his beloved and distracted by the commentator during matches. Thus, at the 2010 World Cup, he conceded a goal during a game against Switzerland, looking at Sarah.

The pair spoke openly about the relationship during an interview with Iker after Spain's victory at the 2010 World Cup, when the goalkeeper kissed a girl live.

In January 2014, Carbonero gave birth to her first child, named Martin. And in June 2016, the second son of the star couple Lucas was born at the Ruber International Hospital in Madrid.

The audience waited six years, when the romance of the beautiful couple of Spain will end with a wedding. Rumors have repeatedly married them, the press even discussed a wedding gift in the form of a house with five bedrooms worth 2.6 million euros, allegedly donated to the bride Casillas. The wedding ceremony took place only on March 20, 2016 in complete secrecy, in the presence of only one guest - the couple's two-year-old son.

Iker Casillas, like other celebrities, has "weirdness." The most famous is the prophecy of the fortune teller, who predicted Iker's sporting future. Pregnant mother set a condition - if the baby is given a Basque name, to be a great football player. And the prophecy came true - the name Iker translates as "Trial" or "Lucky." Iker Casillas' "Chip" - preferences in uniforms. The goalkeeper almost always plays in a sweater with cropped sleeves. According to Casillas, this is how he feels more comfortable and confident. Iker gives money to charity and in 2007 sponsored a fund to fight malaria. 2013 was a traumatic year in the career of Iker Casillas. The goalkeeper suffered two serious injuries - on January 23, he broke a bone in his left hand in the match against Valencia, and in the first time in 238 days of rest of the match he injured his ribs. Despite the growing popularity of Instagram among celebrities, Iker Casillas does not use the social network to demonstrate personal life. Iker Casillas' 2012 fee was 7.5 million euros.

The latest news about Iker Casillas is connected with the intention to return to the Spanish national team. In April 2017, the footballer stated that he considers himself worthy to play for the national team.
