I fight for every ball as if it was the last.

Everyone's opinions have to be respected. The coach has his, we have ours, the media have theirs.

I do not like to lose, which is why I try my hardest when I play.

Many, many people sent me messages on social media. I couldn't not go. I couldn't turn my back on all this affection that the people had given me. I said I have to go to Besiktas. It's impossible not to go to Besiktas!

If the fans are happy with me it is due to how I perform on the pitch.

I won't sit back and hope that everything comes to me. No, I will continue to fight to achieve more and more.

I love Real Madrid and their fans.

We're professionals, we have to deal with criticism. We get talked about a lot but we have to focus on doing our job well.

Cristiano is just one more player who is always motivated.

We face each game with great importance but we have a strong desire to win.

I think you need to know how to seperate what happens on the pitch from off-the-pitch matters.

People talk without knowing the real Cristiano. He's a normal person with normal habits like us. He likes his relatives. He loves his sons. He stresses the importance of being a father which I think is important. He's does this perfectly and naturally.

I think my style of play would be appreciated in England, but as Spanish football is more technical, rather than box-to-box like in English football, my physical style is highlighted much more.

The Besiktas fans are very passionate. When you go out onto the pitch the noise coming from the stands always hits you.

I always want to give my utmost to try and bring happiness to the supporters.

Criticism makes us grow.

Three goals in 90 minutes is possible, there is no doubt about it.

I really like Gaitan. He has a lot of creativity and has the quality to play for a club like Real Madrid.

Turkish people live football. Football is a passion of theirs. They demonstrate it with love and affection for their team.

Little by little I want to become more free and start going forward but I know that the first thing I have to do is defend.

Pele and Maradona won games but they had the help of their team-mates.

Football is a collective sport.

I love playing for Mourinho. He is honest and sticks to his guns.

One of the values of a human being is to be honest and admit at times knowing when to apologize.
