"The season has been very complicated," the attacker told beIN Sport France. "But, in football, sometimes the wheel turns very quickly. And thank God, I now have more possibilities to play. 

"My parents taught me that patience and perseverance are part of learning. Today, I feel very good.

"For many people, I was already finished here, but it was only the beginning. One must not lower one's head. 

"I learn every day in this great club and all I am grateful to God for that. I know that at Real Madrid the competition is strong and the minutes are rare and my intention was never to complain. 

"But, at times, I just expressed the frustration I felt. As I am not one to be content with sitting on the bench, I always want more."
