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.

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."
