During a career there are some steps we need to take growing up, that's natural.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
Don't call me an intellectual. After all, there are a lot more people taking their A-levels each summer than signing for Real Madrid. I was just a good and serious student.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
Since I was seven years old, they say 'he's nice, he's nice.' Yes, I'm nice, but that's not all I am.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
First, you arrive at training, prepare for the session, I get treatment from the physios and go straight to the gym to activate the body.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
People have wanted me to change and it annoys me. Do we ask Ramos to be someone else? We take him as he is; take me as I am.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
I am a shy, quiet and cool guy in life. And I am no different on the pitch.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
Unfortunately, injuries are part of the game and you have to adapt, keep faith, trust and never give up.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
What is important is to communicate a lot. That's how we manage to create a good understanding.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
When you're young you want to show what you can do, but sometimes you have to learn not to over-complicate things.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
Being a defender of Real Madrid means being able to make very few mistakes.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
It was the craziest period of my life: I was getting ready for the baccalaureate, the phone was ringing off the hook, I visited the Real facilities, I met Alex Ferguson.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
Depending on the day's training intensity, we stretch, work on mobility, everything to prepare myself well. Later, we train, and depending on the day we do more physical work, more technical or more tactical. The duration also varies between 45 minutes and an hour and a half.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
I am thrilled to become part of the HyperX family and to join this amazing group of talented ambassadors.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
With Ancelotti I played less, but he did extraordinary things at Real and this is what counts.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
Being able to get some games under my belt and feeling the confidence of the gaffer is something very important to me. That way I feel good on the pitch.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
Everybody knows that there are quality players at centre back for Madrid and for me that's the day-to-day challenge. That's why it's important to be ready to take advantage of every chance that comes up.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
I have known Eliaquim Mangala for quite some time and we understand each other well.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
I am super nice, I am great, even in the dressing room. I am also quite shy. But when there are difficult times or when you have to show your character, you can count on me. The players who have known me for a while know this.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
It would be wonderful to spend my whole career at Madrid. But my early days taught me to enjoy every moment because everything can change very quickly - I saw that with Euro 2016.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
I try to give the squad my peace of mind, my experience of big competitions and to be myself.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
When you are at Real, it's a challenge every day. I'm like that, I need these high goals to keep moving forward.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
Ronaldo is a bon vivant, he is friendly, he always has something to help you progress. He wants to be the best around. It infuriates him when he loses, he cannot stand it. It's true that sometimes, in the dressing room, it's fun to lose just to make him mad!
Quote by -Raphael Varan
I want to continue to be a first-team regular here at Madrid. That is my long-term goal.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
I consider myself to be from Madrid because I arrived very young, but I do not forget my years in Lens - of which I am also proud.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
Every season is a challenge and now I am a more complete player. I have learned at the highest level.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
In my position you talk about a mature player being around 28 and it is normal that you improve.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
In terms of pressure, El Clasico is unique, but also a match against PSG is a stimulating and exciting clash.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
Basically, I played football to share with others, to excel together, to achieve a goal. After, we all have our ego, our pride and our personality. But all alone, in football, it does not work.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
All the teams that win a big trophy, it is thanks to the collective, when each one takes pleasure to share with the others. This is how it works.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
I hope to meet expectations. To achieve this, I need to keep working hard and hopefully things will go my way.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
There are some things you gain with experience, but age isn't important to me.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
I think I felt ready and I really wanted to go to Real Madrid. Some are ready and others aren't. I thought about it carefully and I made the right decision.
Quote by -Raphael Varan
Zidane has tried to get me to improve. Anticipating, reading the play, putting myself in the defensive balance, I know how to do all this. So he expects the same finesse in an attacking sense.
