“Casillas has done the Spanish team a lot of good, it is one of the best spanish athletes of all time” Irene Lozano, president of the Higher Sports Council (CSD), expressed herself with this forcefulness on Thursday, speaking of the former captain of the Spanish soccer team.
He did so in the framework of an informative breakfast organized by Europa Press and in the wake of the controversy unleashed after the publication of a tweet from the Spanish Federation in which he commemorated the 12 years of triumph in the 2008 Euro Cup and in which he barely Casillas appeared.
Announces a commemorative event for the World Cup on July 10 that Iker will not attend “for personal reasons”
Without delving into this controversy, Lozano explained that “we will make a act coinciding with july 10
or (date in which the 10 years of the triumph of the Red in the World Cup in South Africa will be commemorated) to which we have invited Casillas, who has excused his presence for personal reasons. There is no doubt for anyone that he is one of the best Spanish athletes of all time ”, he reiterated.
The name of the former Spanish international has also come to the fore when commenting on his decision to withdraw his candidacy for the Federation presidency. “I understand that the pandemic has upset the loaves of many people and I respect your decision not to show up. I spoke with him on the days when he made his announcement public and offered to explain any doubts he has about the process, which is more than under surveillance. I respect your decision, but the process is more than watched“He underlined in reference to the statement released by Iker when announcing his withdrawal, in which he left some doubt about it.
He respects his decision not to appear in the RFEF elections, assures that the process “is more than watched” and that the month of August will be skillful
And in a direct relationship on the subject, he has assumed that the month of August will be declared capable, which would have facilitated the holding of elections on August 17, now postponed by the decision of the Administrative Court of Sport (TAD).
“We must abide by the rules, which are the same for everyone. Sometimes decisions are made such as enabling the month of August, as requested by the Basketball Federation. The month of August will be skillful and we are making the necessary changes in this regard. ”
