Ramos said: http://footballncrickethub.mystrikingly.com/blog/spanish-goalkeeper-casillas 'I want to make it difficult for the next player to beat it.
'It is very difficult to have got to 167 matches for your country.
It is a reward and a joy. Many years of working hard to get to this point.
'I had the fortune to make my debut at a young age and having the confidence of all my managers.
'Luckily, injuries have respected me and I wish I could defend this badge for a long time to come.
'Records are there to be broken. I like to go match by match and wake up every day with motivation to get better.
'I hope to keep this youthful and energetic side of me for as long as possible to extend my record the furthest possible.
'I wish I could get to 200 matches playing with my country.
That is my next objective to achieve.'
