What's for sure is that the profile of the central defender is evolving. At one time it was all about the stopper and the libero. Today, central defenders have to be more complete.

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

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

It's impressive to be compared with Hierro.

I am super nice, I am great, even in the dressing room. I am also quite shy. But when there are difficult times or when you have to show your character, you can count on me. The players who have known me for a while know this.

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

Being able to get some games under my belt and feeling the confidence of the gaffer is something very important to me. That way I feel good on the pitch.

It's hard to criticise Ronaldo. When we come back from an away game at 4 A.M., he is one of the players that goes straight to the training complex to jump in cold water to accelerate the speed of his recovery. He is an example to follow.

Our objective is to win - always to win.

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