We're Real Madrid - and being successful is part of our DNA.
Toni Kroos
Zidane transmits a very clear idea to the players. He doesn't need to give a 20 minute motivational talk, he doesn't need it. With his presence alone, he achieves what he wants - his personality is synonymous with success.
I like to create chances, to shoot when I play farther forward, but I also like playing deeper, as you have more time on the ball.
I enjoy playing football, and that's about it. I'm no-one special.
For those of us playing in a foreign league, it's always nice to spend a few days with family and friends who we don't get to see every day.
I do not envisage going to Barcelona.
When you come to a hotel where everything is brand new, it's logical that not everything works.
Before leaving, I was seen as a good player, perhaps as a very good player, but as one of the many players that Bayern had. But if you play as a Real footballer, you get even more attention. Maybe that part from the fans I do not like so much.
You can't win any games in the Spanish league by giving only seventy or eighty per cent. You always have to step on the gas.
Everyone has their special strength. And my strength is to have the ball and start good things with it.
I would not swap the World Cup title for any accolade. But I could imagine that quite a few would swap every accolade for a World Cup title.
In England and Germany, perhaps, there is more of a focus on the physical side of the game, in breaking down the opposition's play, especially against the lower placed sides.
I like playing deeper, but I'm not Casemiro.
Clearly, if you go abroad to a top club, it means one more step in your development.
In a team like Real Madrid, arguments always arise when things are not going well.
The most important thing for me is that I get regular first team action.
You always work toward a big goal. Once you achieved it, it's not that easy. You need a few days. Like winning the Champions League - season over, goal achieved. The pressure drops.
I wouldn't undervalue my year under Pep Guardiola because I think I made a big step forward in that year.
You need to beat the best, and it's a great challenge, and I like that.
I'm not scared of Bayern Munich.
Madrid are the greatest club in the world and a cut above Bayern.
The Spanish league has better individual players than the German league. However, in Germany, there are more teams that are uncomfortable to play against because they are more aggressive than teams in Spain.
Carlo Ancelotti wanted me in Madrid and had bet on me.
I am very proud to be at Madrid. It's something very special, and also to step out into the Bernabeu wearing the Madrid shirt for the first time was a fantastic feeling. The fans gave me a wonderful reception.
Dominating the midfield is the most important thing in modern football. To succeed, you have to be good at everything.
I can score goals and be dangerous with my passes.
It's not good to have so many key players injured, but there is no point complaining about it.
Ancelotti would be an interesting option for Bundesliga clubs. Of course, there would only be one or two clubs in Germany that would be an option for a world-class coach like him.
When you have lived through something as magical as the 2014 World Cup final, you want to relive that experience as many times as possible.
I can't comment on every article in the newspapers.
My biggest aim of all is to win trophies with Real Madrid.
With Bayern Munich, we had a lot of problems against Dortmund, always.
My decision was to go abroad, especially after winning the World Cup, and to go to Madrid was perfect. I was 100 per cent convinced of it.
I enjoyed six marvellous years at Bayern winning many titles, but the fact is I don't plan on playing in Germany ever again.
The best example is the NBA, with high intensity and long breaks. During the season, the NBA teams play every three days. That's a lot, and they also travel far. But from the end of May until October, they have their break.
Emotions always play a part, especially on Champions League nights at the Bernabeu.
I don't sign contracts on a whim.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a really important player.
There are certain transfers you simply don't do. This has a lot to do with respect: respect for tradition and the fans.
I don't like to talk about players who haven't played; I prefer to talk about the ones who have.
I always think about my future. That's part of my job.
Those who know me best know that my opinions don't change with the wind.
I want to win trophies in the summer and not accolades in the winter.
I'm happy at Real Madrid and can imagine ending my career here - if all goes well.
Ancelotti is internationally oriented and speaks English. Why would he not be successful with a club like Bayern? He would be a good fit for a Bundesliga side.
The Spanish and German leagues are of a very high standard. Along with the Premier League, they are probably the best.
It can be dangerous to be too content, especially at a club like Bayern, where there is so much competition for places.
From the level, both leagues are equal. You'll win no game easily. It's always a lot of work. This is true in La Liga as well as in the Bundesliga. You must always give all you have.
It's no secret the Premier League is an interesting league.
The Bundesliga is a strong league and a good place to go. One can only recommend the Bundesliga.
