'I was called a traitor and a mole' – Iker Casillas opens up on stormy relationship with Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid
“In the summer of 2012, our relationship was good, we talked a lot, but then there was a change around Christmas. The team wasn’t doing well and my relationship with Mourinho became poor. We had disagreements, but with respect.”
“Mourinho didn’t say anything to me about Sara’s words, but it was easy to notice a change in our relationship. Soon, I got injured and after two weeks, I noticed the attacks. I was called a traitor and a mole.
“I feel it was a bit unfair to call me a mole but I have to understand that and accept some people’s opinions.
It was hard to be called a mole and I like to think that neither Mourinho nor the president Florentino Perez really believed this.”
He continued, “I have the utmost respect for Mourinho but when there is one thing bothering you or one thing you don’t like, you have to discuss it. We never told Florentino that we wanted Mourinho to leave.
“He’s one of the best coaches I’ve had. A guy with character. It hurts me when my loyalty to Real Madrid is questioned – this club have given me everything.”

The Brazilian footballer has a great admiration for Spanish goal-keeper, Iker Casillas and he would be honoured if he scores against him in the Confederations Cup final.
"Casillas is one of the greatest keepers in the world – now and always. I have huge respect and admiration for him. Everyone would love to have him in their side, but on Sunday I hope to have the honour of scoring against him". He revealed.
The 2011/2012 South American Footballer of the Year award recipient continued, "It's going to be a great game. Everyone is really looking forward to it. It's a clash between two historic national sides, two teams with a lot of tradition. Spain with their star players and Brazil, with their stars. I hope that it's a match which everyone enjoys and that Brazil end as the winners.
The ex-Santos forward who scored about 3 goals in the ongoing tournament and provided the two assists, that gave Brazil a 2-1 win over Uruguay in the semi-final has joined reigning laLiga Champions, Barcelona.
