Look, every club needs stability.

Beckham has enough charisma to win over the fans quickly. All he needs to do is to show his class on the pitch. He's one of the world's best and I've always been a fan.

There are not many Cristiano Ronaldos in the world and Real Madrid has made a great financial effort, but Real Madrid wants the best team in the world.

I was at Madrid for 17 years and, save for Vicente del Bosque and Jose Mourinho, I never saw any coaches stay for many years.

My time in New York has been amazing.

I have five children of my own, so as a father I understand how important it is to help children in any way you can.

I hope things go well with Zidane, the same as I would have said about Benitez. Because what we all want is for Real Madrid to win trophies.

I could imagine playing for Fortuna.

Real Madrid is my home and if I have the opportunity to go back and do something important, or something that really appeals to me, I'll do it.

I think Ancelotti is a great coach who has a great relationship with the players, but is also very demanding of them.

From the time when I started out, the best players around then were Roberto Baggio and Ryan Giggs.

I think that the message Zidane has to offer will get through to the players, because he was a world-class player.

I believe that patience is fundamental in football. It is difficult as sometimes patience is not there. You must have a clear idea and a path you want to take.

I have been happy at Real Madrid and I will always be willing to help the club in whatever it needs.

You must believe in the players, their quality, and send the message that working together it was easy to win the Champions League and difficult for anyone to beat you.

Playing on turf sometimes, not grass, makes it a little bit more difficult.

I was as excited when Beckham started to play with us as I am with the arrival of Cristiano.

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.

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

It is not easy to change from player to coach.

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.

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

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

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.
