Want to sell a football ‘autobiography’? Then provocation and controversy are your best friends. That’s certainly the attitude of the people behind Jerzy Dudek’s offering; according to Dudek, during his time as Real Madrid’s no.2, Casillas told him that Torres was the most overrated footballer in the history of Spanish football.
Speaking of provocation, he pulled no punches with Leo Messi saying he was fake and “would say such rude things to Pepe and [Sergio] Ramos, things you would not imagine from a such a quiet and seemingly good person,” and criticised Barcelona under Pep Guardiola:
“They were so ready to provoke you and they were able to do it to perfection; that hurt Mourinho a lot.
