It's a city that we have always liked. Who doesn't like New York? When you are here you do feel a bit more anonymous. Obviously, you still find people who recognize you, but it's nice to be able to go out and walk around and have it be a normal experience.

I love playing games, but also training.

Raul

Punctuality and showing respect in the workplace are the foundations of success. Success is meaningless without them. I'm always looking to pass these lessons on to younger players, because they are the secret of excelling and developing your game.

Raul

Playing on turf sometimes, not grass, makes it a little bit more difficult.

Raul

Contrary to what many say, Real are a unit. Individual brilliance is always a last resort.

Raul

I want Real Madrid to win it all in 2011-12. The Champions League, La Liga and the Copa del Rey.

Raul

So once the game begins, it doesn't matter if it's 10, 20 or 80 thousand fans. The objective is to win the match, and that's where my focus is.

Raul

It's not for me to give anybody advice about their private life.

Raul

My departure from Madrid was my own choice. I had one year left on my contract, but I decided to go for a new professional experience, so I joined Schalke. I have no problem with the club and our rapport is good.

Raul

I was as excited when Beckham started to play with us as I am with the arrival of Cristiano.

Raul

Harry Kane is a typical striker. He scores in every single game. I think he has great qualities. I like him a lot.

Raul

It is not easy to change from player to coach.

Raul

I have been happy at Real Madrid and I will always be willing to help the club in whatever it needs.

Raul

I think Ancelotti is a great coach who has a great relationship with the players, but is also very demanding of them.

Raul

I was runner-up for the Ballon d'Or once and came third on another occasion. Could I have won it? Maybe. But I don't care. Football is a team sport.

Raul

I think Cristiano and Lionel Messi are two of the best players in the history of the game. Are they better than Pele or Diego Maradona? They are at the top, but I think it is difficult in football to say who is first or second or third.

Raul

Being a Real Madrid player is the greatest dream you can imagine.

It's a city that we have always liked. Who doesn't like New York? When you are here you do feel a bit more anonymous. Obviously, you still find people who recognize you, but it's nice to be able to go out and walk around and have it be a normal experience.

Raul

I believe that soccer in the United States lacks an idol and they should do everything possible to create one.

Raul

What Cristiano has been doing is huge, but Madrid have a great team with players who can still offer more. The important things is that they keep working as a unit.

Raul

I'm fully aware that Qatar are striving to become one of the leading sporting nations and they have big plans for football. Winning the honour of hosting the 2022 World Cup is the best possible proof of their intentions.
