You ended the year with an outstanding pass and a great win over Valencia at Mestalla.
Yes, it was exciting to win that way. I was pleased with the team's reaction on the pitch, as well as with the way we all celebrated Jesé's goal and the win. It proves we're all very united and eager to do things right.
How was 2013 for you?
It was a good year for me personally. Things started going well for me with the game at Old Trafford and the Spanish Cup win over Barcelona. I think the team was somewhat unlucky in key games and that cost us winning any silverware. I'm sure that 2014 will be better.
Do you feel fully settled at Real?
I'm in great form right now. Playing in pre-season was important for me. It's key to have the coach's fully backing and trust. That's why I'm playing better. I also have a great relationship with the fans. They've always had my back and that has made things easier for me. We should win the club's tenth European title for them, they deserve it.
What's it like working under Ancelotti and Zidane?
It's great. Ancelotti is an amazing coach. I can say that he has complete faith in me. He believes in me, and that's very important. Zizou helps us a lot. It's great having him working with the team, he teaches us so much. We stay behind with him after training to practice our shooting... He's a great guy and it's a pleasure to work so closely with him.
