He's only 22 but has already reached important numbers. As he told Marca, he still wants to improve though: "I've reached my objectives, I now want to do even more". Next year he'll have to do well without Zidane, the coach that may have believe the most in him: "His farewell surprised me a bit, but my experience with him has been really positive. He trusted me and we've built a great relationship. Since I was a child I wanted to play like him. Even if we don't really play the same way, I've learned a lot of things watching him. It's been fantastic to train with him".
About the World Cup where his first opponent will be Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal: "It's the first time I'll face him and I know well he can score at every moment.Is Real Madrid ready to lose him? I can't imagine myself playing without him. Cristiano has been and will be very important for Real".
