We have to respect cultures and show the necessary professionalism." He praised the young player Alvaro Rodriguez, saying: "He has many qualities, he is tall, he leads the attacks well, and he does good headers. It is not easy to join Real Madrid and focus on a big opportunity. I made a difference today. He provided two assists and I am convinced." He will help us this season."
