When I first heard Madrid were interested, nothing else mattered. I just wanted to come here. This is the best club in the world, with the best coach and great players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Xabi Alonso, Gonzalo Higuain, Angel Di Maria... so many great players.

When the boss chooses the system, we must play as well as possible and give everything. It is good to be able to use various systems so that you can change in difficult moments.

London is such a great place, and at White Hart Lane, I feel just like home.

People in Real ask me about Mateo Kovacic all the time. He is a phenomenal talent and will play in some of the biggest clubs. Inter is a big club, no doubt, but Kovacic will play in even bigger.

I really enjoy my life in Spain.

It was my dream come true when I signed for Real Madrid. I want to stay here for as many years as possible and, if it's possible, finish my career here.

What is the most important is never to give up, never to give in to circumstances, to trust yourself.

My position at Tottenham was in the centre of midfield, and I have played there for Croatia, I feel I am best there.

My whole career, when I was in Croatia, people questioned me, saying I wouldn't make it, that I wasn't good enough because I wasn't big and strong.

You need to believe. If you don't believe, you can never get anything.

I can make my football dreams come true with Tottenham, and that is why all my thoughts and also my future is with this club.

There are so many great players who have played for Real Madrid.

The most important thing is to never give up, never give in to circumstances, believe yourself, and to soldier on, no matter what's in your way.

There are ups and downs, but whatever happens, you have to trust and believe in yourself.

My job is to improve the performance of the team game by game.

I think Messi's is a fantastic attitude and should be the mentality that all top players in the world should adopt.

In football, you have to be consistent.

In order for a player to score goals, he needs minutes.

Players need to control their emotions as much as possible.

Messi is the best in the world, even when he is defending.

I always want all my players to improve and do even better.

Bravo, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Jordi Masip are three goalkeepers of the highest quality.

We need the ball even to defend; that's our objective: having the ball and having it as far as possible from our goal as possible.

Scoring a goal is very important for us, but the objective is to win the match.
