Iker Casillas claims that expectations at Real Madrid are so high that there is no time given for the team to gel without being scrutinised.

Casillas revealed that he and the other playing personnel at Real are still getting used to playing with Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, and how to get the best out of them.

The experience has had a steep learning curve, and despite Los Meregues winning all their games so far, the Bernabeu faithful have criticised the team for not being entertaining.

"The team is in the gelling stage, but there is never time at Real Madrid and every day there is an aspect that receives criticism," Casillas was quoted as saying by the club's official website.

"The players must get to know one another. Kaka and Cristiano are good, but we need to figure out how they want the ball, how they pass it."

"It happens to me, too. I have to know if I need to be fast in giving it to a player, if it needs to be a short or long pass... It all comes together as we play more matches."
