Spain midfielder Xabi Alonso claims national goalkeeper Iker Casillas will adapt to the new ball being used at the World Cup.
Casillas was unhappy with the way the ball behaved in the friendly against Saudi Arabia which Spain won 3-2 courtesy of an injury time goal.
The Spain number one fumbled the ball numerous times and was visibly frustrated during the match.
However, Alonso thinks the captain will soon get used to the new ball, just like everyone else.
In comments reported by Marca, Alonso said: "I see him [Casillas] the same as always, raring to go."
"We have to get used to the trajectories [of the ball], but as the days pass by I am sure that we will feel more comfortable."
Casillas is not the only one dissatisfied with the equipment being used in South Africa.
England's Joe Hart also expressed his unhappiness with the ball a week ago.
