Regarding The Boy Scouts, I’m Very Suspicious Of Any Organization That Has A Handbook.

My emotions, when I think about the time I spent at Spurs, are always really positive.

We are Madrid, and we want to define our own philosophy. We don’t want to be compared to anyone.

The Nations League is a great competition.

All my future plans are related to Real Madrid, and there are no other clubs on my mind. I’m so happy here along with my family. Few players have ended their career here, Zidane being one of the exceptions. I’d like to be one of those players, too, but time will tell what the future holds.

I am very emotional.

All I dreamed of when I became a footballer was to play for a club as big as Real Madrid. It’s maybe the most famous and best club in the history of football.

Nobody is accustomed to play in front of an empty stadium.

I’m happy that a normal person can win the Ballon D’Or.

To play at Real Madrid, it is not enough to just have football quality. You must be mentally strong.

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.

When you win something, once, twice, three times, and you have that feeling, that pushes you forward again. You want to win more and more and more.

I have never doubted myself even if others did, I always believed I could get to where I am today and thank God this came true.

I had a nice childhood, even though I grew up in hotels.

My childhood years were very painful. I was only 5 when the Croatian War of Independence broke out. I was living in a war zone and lost my grandfather in that war.

My father is strong in his legs, and I think I get that from him. I am stronger there than in my upper body, but that is what gives me a low centre of gravity. It makes it harder for opponents to get me off the ball.

My one regret is that I didn’t win a trophy with Tottenham, despite us being a strong team who played good, attractive football.

Individual awards are important, but I am not obsessed with them.

Everyone has a different view on football, but I didn’t have a fear that I wouldn’t be good enough in England.

I always look forward to playing for my national team, especially at a major tournament

I want to be able to help the coach and team as much as I can.

Two goals away from home is very good.

Santiago Bernabeu is the best stadium I have ever played in. I enjoy every minute on its pitch.

The team is the most important thing.

I would change all my individual trophies for that trophy of World Cup champion.

It is very challenging to adapt to life at a big club like Madrid, but I’m not the kind of person to make excuses.

Believe in yourself and your abilities, and anything is possible.

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.

You don’t have to be a giant to play football, I’m happy with where I am. I am happy with where I am and I never cared what anyone else said, it only further motivated me.

Fight for your dreams and success. This is what has always guided me.

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.

The best victories come from unity, not individuality.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.

I think everybody respects Real Madrid; nobody wants to play against us.

When I came to England, I was dreaming about winning titles.

I had great relationships with all the four coaches I played under at Real Madrid. They all helped me improve, but if I had to pick the best, I would pick Ancelotti.

No individual can do it all on their own.

The war made me stronger; it was a very hard time for me and my family. I don’t want to drag that with me forever, but I don’t want to forget about it, either.

For what Ronaldo’s achieved, he’s amazing; he’s a great team-mate.

Messi is an incredible player but he can’t do everything alone. In football you need help and it can’t be done alone.

The Premier League is the best competition in the world, and it’s not easy to win a league with great teams like Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, and Arsenal as rivals.

I enjoyed every moment with Tottenham. But in one moment, you feel you need to take a step forward, to go to a higher level.

For me, the team is always more important.

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

I’ve seen a great deal of hardship in my life.

I will fight to be here as much as possible. I only have Madrid in my head.

I believe that I’ve improved a lot as a player and a person, because being surrounded by great players on a daily basis helps your development out on the pitch.

When the war started, we became refugees, and it was a really tough time. I was six years old. These were really hard times. I remember them vividly, but it’s not something you want to remember or think about.

You must never give up and have faith in yourself.

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

I have met him a few times. What can I say – Maradona is one of the best players in football history.
