MARCO ASENSIO

I work hard every day to earn more minutes, but I am aware of where I am. I am at the best club in the world, and I am happy at Real Madrid.

At the end of the day, of course I want to continue to be successful at Madrid; I want to be important here. I have never hidden from that.

With how well I have been playing, I have earned the love of the fans.

I want to make history at Real Madrid. I want to make my mark, and I want to win every possible title.

I get to wear the best jerseys: that of Real and Spain.

I take my teammate's praises very well. It means I am doing my job well.

I don't think about anything other than focusing at Real Madrid.

To reach the biggest club in the world where there are millions of fans and a lot of pressure was a brutal change.

I'd like to win everything; I'm an ambitious guy.

In training, I work hard to make the starting line-up, and I try to do my best to be picked.

Zidane told me that since Messi, he had never seen a left foot like mine. I was a little impressed, because Messi is a piece of a footballer.

I feel comfortable in the playmaker role, but I can play on the left, on the right, and even pivot.

My first option is always to triumph at Real Madrid. After that, you never know what can happen.

The Ballon d'Or? In the end, I dedicate myself, and if it arrives, it will arrive.

I can't imagine playing without Cristiano. He has been, is, and will be very important for us, and he and Madrid must always go forward hand in hand.

I don't usually get nervous on the pitch because playing football is what I've done all my life.

When things are going well, they start saying you're the best, but as soon as things go wrong, suddenly you are the worst.

I can play in any position in the attacking zone, but I don't like to stick to the wing, for instance. I need to have freedom to move throughout the attacking and creative zone.

Real Madrid are the most successful club in the world, and from the start, you know you have to be prepared and to give everything for the shirt.

There was an option to sign for Barcelona and other teams before I moved to Madrid.

To be able to compete in a Champions League final, to win it with Real Madrid and to score was incredible and exciting.

I try not to focus too much on the expectations there are of me.

I am comfortable in any position in attack, either side or in the centre.

I always try with everything I have left.

I admire Cristiano's ambition and his goal-scoring touch.
