Casillas backs 6+5 idea

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has backed Sepp Blatter's controversial plan to have the six plus five player rule, and believes it would help home grown talent emerge.

  • Chelsea favourites to sign £80m Premier League star
  • Arsenal expected to sign Saint-Etienne striker?

  • Of Real Madrid's winning squad, out of 26 players only 16 were homegrown. Casillas believes that continuing the rule would be good for local talent.



    Casillas said: "The law seems good to me, more than good, exceptional for the local players. It is not xenophobia or racism, but to look out for your own interests."
