I am the captain of Madrid, and I will defend my team.
I've always loved Nike shoes, and I'm in a position where I like to collect them now, especially the limited-edition Jordan and Air Max pairs. My house is full of special releases.
I'm not going to get into what you do when you win.
At Real Madrid, we have many good players that the team can learn from.
You learn quickly at Madrid. Every lesson here is three elsewhere.
It doesn't really bother us, the team that is in fashion or that is being talked about the most. Whatever praise or criticism we receive doesn't really matter.
You have to give the Ballon d'Or to the best player in the world at that time. Any differences between what the players are like as individuals should not affect who is chosen for a personal award.
If I have to play at center back, I'll do it without any problems.
Barcelona are not invincible.
Mourinho is serious and demanding.
I think Pique, apart from the odd personal remark, has never had a bad opinion about any of my teammates at Real Madrid, but obviously, when he attacks Real Madrid, our club, and our institution, it kind of tarnishes all of the rest of what he says.
Defending for a team as offensive as Real Madrid isn't that easy.
There is nothing more beautiful than being able to represent my country.
We must take on each match as best we can and try to recover from each as quickly as possible.
Every day, I wake up eager to learn new things, and I am grateful to Mourinho for that.
I always said that when Madrid win, it wasn't just because of Ronaldo, Kaka, or another, and when you lose, it is not fair to blame the failures on these people alone.
We will respect all our opponents, as we always do.
When you win many titles, the rivals are full of antipathy towards you.
Right-wing, pivot, centre-back, full-back, right, left. I've never felt uncomfortable anywhere.
The team needs a leader to handle everything with rules and constant stability. Mourinho is the ideal man for that job, and we are delighted about it.
