Not being able to play in the Champions League is a shame but I probably wouldn't have played much had I stayed at Madrid.

It will be very important to play alongside Raul because I know him so well. There will be more of an understanding with him than with someone I don't know and I will be more relaxed.

I'm going with a cupboard full of trophies and for me that's the most important thing,

It hasn't been a very pleasant few months at Real, but a lot of things have happened at the club that have contributed to that and now I'm very happy.

There's been a lot of hype, and a lot of it's negative. That's a shame. We're just excited to play who we feel right now is the best 1A team in the state.

I guess we didn't make the routine play. It's a shame, we played a decent game. We're still making too many mistakes out there defensively.
