Casillas: Steven Spielberg Could Make A Movie About Alcorcon Triumph
Los Merengues' fans and the media are looking for reasons, but the goalkeeper thinks he knows why the team are out of the cup.
Nov 11, 2009 9:45:59 AM
Iker Casillas believes that Real Madrid's players should hold their hands up and admit that it was their fault that the club have been eliminated from the Copa del Rey.
While many have pointed the finger at Manuel Pellegrini, the Spain goalkeeper thinks that even those stars that disagreed with the coach should accept what he says.
Madrid were unable to bounce back from a 4-0 first leg drubbing by Alcorcon and only managed a 1-0 victory in front of a critical Bernabeu crowd.
"I think that it is the players who are at fault and Real Madrid should have won the tie," Casillas was quoted as saying by the club's official website.
"Everyone has a coaching instinct inside of them and everyone has an opinion, but it comes down to one person’s decision, and even if you don’t agree with it, you do have to respect it.
"There are accidents in life, and the first leg of the tie was one of them. Yesterday we had another accident, but perhaps it wasn’t as serious.
"Although the team looked more enthusiastic, that cannot be an excuse because no one thought Real Madrid would fall to Alcorcon.
"The entire squad must assume responsibility, but these things can happen and at times they even help Steven Spielberg write movie scripts."
