Why lie? I'm not going to be a hypocrite and say the opposite of what I think, like some others do.

I have never played against anybody like that in my life and I was pleased to be taken off.

When my family isn't alright, I get restless. It just doesn't seem right to me.

He does things I have never seen from any other player and it really is marvellous to watch. It takes a great player to grab the bull by the horns and make things happen, but he has done it repeatedly. He has been even better than people here thought he would be and that's saying something.

He is as tough as anything. You can crack him once, but he won't let it bother him. He's back on his feet in no time and getting on with it. He is a strong character and a great sight when he's heading for goal.

I'm proud to play for Real Madrid because I have fun; when you no longer have fun it's a sign that it's time to leave. For now though, I'm happy here at the greatest club in the world.

I know that people have different ways to see me but I'm used to it.
