The goalkeeper is determined to fight for his place at Santiago Bernabeu despite some harsh treatment from a number of supporters.Iker Casillas says he has never been moved to tears by the whistles of Real Madrid fans but admits he has been angered by his treatment.The goalkeeper's form has been under persistent scrutiny during the past 18 months following a handful of high-profile blunders and a dismal performance with Spain at the World Cup last summer.However, Carlo Ancelotti reinstated him as undisputed No.1 across all competitions ahead of 2014-15, which drew ire from supporters who thought summer signing Keylor Navas deserved to start.
With Ancelotti having since been sacked this week and David de Gea linked with a big-money move this summer, speculation remains rife that Casillas will ultimately be forced to leave the club - but he admits he cannot envisage doing so.I want to face the season with the belief I have always had over the years, that's the passion for this position that I have, he told Cadena SER. "I'll be in this goal next season and I do not imagine leaving the Real Madrid.I would hold off another goalkeeper because I am competitive. But there will never be a problem between myself and Real Madrid.What I want and desire is for the good of those who come to the Santiago Bernabeu, the people who call this club their home. It's not the typical brown-nosing flattery, it is the truth.I'm a very emotional person and I let the whistling get to me too much, though I never went home crying. But yes, I was angry at the response.When put on the spot about Manchester United No.1 and Spain international team-mate De Gea being brought in, he added: De Gea is an awfully nice guy and I'm used to his presence.
