I am very happy at Real Madrid.

Yes, I do like the Premier League.

In every training session, I learn.

In Madrid there is a lot of competition.

Our objective is to win - always to win.

Winning the Champions League is the dream.

I am not one to discuss my future publicly.

I just play to my strengths and my ability.

We do a team sport. Individually, you're worthless!

To experience a Euros in France is hugely motivating.

Having the ball means creating chances and scoring goals.

It's not a fault in football to be ambitious, far from it.

I try to transmit calmness and motivation to my team-mates.

You have to be humble and learn from the players around you.

You can be a huge player, if you play alone, the team loses.

Sergio Ramos has a winning mentality and has great experience.

Kylian is very important for France. We count on him very much.

It would be against my nature if I shouted or banged the walls.

You will rarely see a defender in front of the opponent's goal.

Having played an international competition is definitely a plus.

I see football as a team sport, I'm not looking for the spotlight.

PSG were interested in signing me, but we never entered negotiations.

Being a defender of Real Madrid means being able to make very few mistakes.

I am a shy, quiet and cool guy in life. And I am no different on the pitch.

You have to play differently. I try to be more complete to annoy any striker.

At 20 years old I'm eager to play and to watch from the sidelines isn't easy.

There are some things you gain with experience, but age isn't important to me.

During a career there are some steps we need to take growing up, that's natural.

I have my style of play and people can criticise me for that which is not a problem.

I have known Eliaquim Mangala for quite some time and we understand each other well.

If I know where I want to play before I receive the ball, it's easier. It's more fluid.

I want to continue to be a first-team regular here at Madrid. That is my long-term goal.

When there's a need for someone to speak, I'm there. When there's tough times, I'm there.

I try to give the squad my peace of mind, my experience of big competitions and to be myself.

With Ancelotti I played less, but he did extraordinary things at Real and this is what counts.

What is important is to communicate a lot. That's how we manage to create a good understanding.

I remember that in 2017, when we won everything, we started the pre-season badly, with defeats.

In my position you talk about a mature player being around 28 and it is normal that you improve.

You cannot have the career I'm having, staying at Real Madrid for seven years, without character.

Things come naturally in a career. From experience, I know that things progress season by season.

I've been playing more regularly in 2015 because of injuries but also because of technical decisions.

Every season is a challenge and now I am a more complete player. I have learned at the highest level.

Unfortunately, injuries are part of the game and you have to adapt, keep faith, trust and never give up.

I am thrilled to become part of the HyperX family and to join this amazing group of talented ambassadors.

It takes a great strength of character to arrive at Real at 18 years and make a journey like I have so far.

In terms of pressure, El Clasico is unique, but also a match against PSG is a stimulating and exciting clash.

I hope to meet expectations. To achieve this, I need to keep working hard and hopefully things will go my way.

When you are at Real, it's a challenge every day. I'm like that, I need these high goals to keep moving forward.

It takes a great strength of character to arrive at Real at eighteen years and make a journey like I have so far.

I feel more comfortable with fast players because I try to control the depth. For my qualities, it's what I prefer.
