Valencia striker Alcacer defends Spain keeper Casillas

Valencia striker Paco Alcacer has defended Spain teammate Iker Casillas.

The Real Madrid goalkeeper is underfire after their Euro qualifying defeat to Slovakia.

"He's a great example to follow. You can't judge Casillas on just one game," Alcácer stressed.

"The game was a blip; Sunday's game will give us impetus. Slovakia didn't do anything and scored from a free-kick. I don't remember the last defeat in a qualifier because I was a kid. As a part of the national team we've had to discuss it, but that's OK, we're all in the same boat and the best way to move forward is Sunday."
