Casillas: Sometimes Real Madrid must win ugly

By Frank Henriksen

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas says fans can be happy with yesterday's battling 3-1 win at Nastic.

"We took advantage of the chances that we had, which has been four," said Casillas. "Therefore we had maximum effectiveness."

"They played well, have run a lot. This one was the game that we wanted. We have not won like against Barca. The first twenty or thirty minutes we have been dictated by the game of Nastic. The goals were a correct award for our efforts."

"The pitch was very heavy. Madrid must win in many different ways. It was necessary to win with a lot of grit. I prefer to win now playing badly because we will soon play very well again. While we win everything goes well."
