Is the brightness of his shirt Casillas' secret?
It's actually quite ugly, but he's the one who chose it, so we can't do anything about it... (Laughs). I don't think strikers miss because of his shirt.
How is the atmosphere in the dressing room?
It is very good. There are young players who recently joined the team and want to do things well. That shows on the pitch; it gives us our spark and allows us to win matches.
How's your relationship with Bernd Schuster?
I get along with him well. He was a quality player, so he likes his team to play good football and he makes that clear to us. He has good personal relationships with the players. He doesn't favour anyone in particular, so anyone 100% in form can play. We are grateful for that. The most important thing is to keep winning. The fact that we do must mean we get along with him well.
Do you captains wonder why there are so many injuries in defence?
You should ask the doctors that because they will know. These are streaks teams go by, and we've had our share in past campaigns. It seems our injuries are mainly being sustained in defence this year, making it hard for the coach to have a regular defensive line-up, but this is one of the reasons behind having a large squad.
