'From the start of my career I have had several strokes of good luck,' he said. 'But, just like everyone else, I have also had difficult times which I have had to cope with. Now I have to overcome this blow to my morale... and in my case that may take a week or just three days.
'But I have got over other things and I can also get over this. I will have to fight hard, but that is part of my job - no one makes their way in the world of football without having to overcome obstacles.'
The 32-year-old concluded his upbeat assessment of the incident by saying he believed that he would get another chance to go to a World Cup.
'I still believe that the best moments of my career are yet to come and, health permitting, I will be aiming to be successful in the next World Cup.'
Spain coach Camacho responded by calling up uncapped Malaga keeper Pedro Contreras, who arrived in Jerez early on Saturday afternoon.
Real Madrid's Iker Casillas is now likely to be Camacho's number one choice ahead of Valladolid's Ricardo |
