Casillas was injured by a fortuitous blow to the ribs with his partner Sergio Ramos and Diego López left. luck, the one that took him to play the World Cup in Korea and Japan due to a badly fallen bottle of cologne caused Santiago Cañizares a fracture in his foot, or the same one that made him the hero of the ninth in Glasgow through an injury to César in between, is totally elusive today with the dorsal number 1.
That goddess fortune seems to have changed sides and ended up right now with Diego López, a goalkeeper in a state of spectacular form, that makes numbers days yes, day also to become master and lord of the white goal for at least this season. solid on top, spectacular below, the security that he transmits to his teammates and the coaching staff can only be given by someone who is on a roll, and the Galician is.
To say that right now he deserves to be a starter for Real Madrid is obvious. That perhaps he should have a place again in the national team does not seem to be nonsense either. But it is that going to more, It is worth asking if we are not right now facing the best goalkeeper in the world. In Villarreal except for a scandalous win. In Estambul, there were not many, but the interventions that he had to make are valuable and that are added to a carousel of stops that he has been carrying out since last January.
It is possible that Víctor Valdés is in his best career moment, that willy caballero, Buffon or Neuer are life insurance, but what is clear is that Diego López right now has nothing to envy to them. Mourinho already sensed it, Ancelotti already knows it, the fans begin to think about it. The ball is now in Vicente del Bosque's court…the finish is not easy. Not in vain, a man on a roll is under the sticks.
