Punctuality and showing respect in the workplace are the foundations of success. Success is meaningless without them. I'm always looking to pass these lessons on to younger players, because they are the secret of excelling and developing your game.

Harry Kane is a typical striker. He scores in every single game. I think he has great qualities. I like him a lot.

I think Cristiano and Lionel Messi are two of the best players in the history of the game. Are they better than Pele or Diego Maradona? They are at the top, but I think it is difficult in football to say who is first or second or third.

Contrary to what many say, Real are a unit. Individual brilliance is always a last resort.

I want Real Madrid to win it all in 2011-12. The Champions League, La Liga and the Copa del Rey.

So once the game begins, it doesn't matter if it's 10, 20 or 80 thousand fans. The objective is to win the match, and that's where my focus is.

It is not easy to change from player to coach.

It's not for me to give anybody advice about their private life.

My departure from Madrid was my own choice. I had one year left on my contract, but I decided to go for a new professional experience, so I joined Schalke. I have no problem with the club and our rapport is good.
