In my time at Milan, the club played with a 4-3-1-2 formation, and I was the player behind the two strikers. At Real, I play behind three. There is a greater defensive obligation, but I try to work around the area.
My best Champions League moment was when Milan won in 2007 against Liverpool. That was the biggest moment for me in the Champions League.
I have overcome many difficult moments in my career.
Playing motivates players.
When I talk to my colleagues from the national team, they always talk to me about Real Madrid.
If it's good for me to go to the national team and play there - not just go there to give experience but to play and be useful - I think it's good.
My feelings in regards to the national team are simple: If the manager thinks I can be of use, I will be ready for the call.
My time at Real Madrid wasn't a failure. I played 120 matches, I scored 28 goals, and I played an average of 30 games a season. What's more, I won three trophies: La Liga, a Copa del Rey, and a Supercopa de Espana.
I have good memories of Real Madrid. Professionally, it was a difficult period, but my experience there was very good in all senses, as I grew a lot, learned many things, and lived with great champions.
When I'm struggling, I can still dream about my successes.
I like the idea of playing with a bit more tactical freedom, either in a deeper role or supporting the strikers more often.
One always wants more when things work out.
