In an interview to Marca he said he signed with the Club in order to win titles and that he isn\'t afraid of playing in a traditionally undervalued position on Real Madrid</font></p><p><br/><font face=\"Arial\">Is Real Madrid as big as you thought it was?<br/>I am delighted with being a part of this team. Borussia Dortmund is a great Club, but everything here is on a grander scale. Everything is more professional...</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#cc00ff\">Has anyone told you Real Madrid is a Club that normally undervalues centre backs? <br/>I\'ve talked to Schuster about this. This has to do with the team\'s offensive style, which doesn\'t give defenders that much to do. This is just another challenge for me and I\'m not too worried about it. I like challenges. I was always the youngest player on my previous team and that was always a challenge. I know it will be hard playing on this team, but I am going to do my best.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\">Have you spoken to Schuster about other things?<br/>Yes. He\'s talked to me about the history of the Club, the players it\'s had... That\'s important to me.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#cc00ff\">Is he as warm to his players as people say he is?<br/>I can\'t compare him to other Spanish coaches, but he is similar to Sammer or Thomas Doll, who also play with their men in practice games.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\">Do you think the squad befits the team\'s history or does it need more players? <br/>I think we have quality players capable of being decisive during a game. We all want to achieve the same goals.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#cc00ff\">Does Raúl help you? <br/>I\'ve realised in less than a week that he is the true star of this team. He is the captain and he always tries to talk to the newcomers and with the younger players in order to help them integrate. He sets a true example to follow.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\">German players have always been successful at Real Madrid. Why do you think that is? <br/>We have a special way of approaching football. We are very disciplined and we make sacrifices for the good of team.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\">What do you dream about as a Real Madrid player? <br/>Every player dreams about winning titles. I want to be successful at Real Madrid.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\">Did you ever have a football idol when you were younger? <br/>Germany\'s defender Kart-Heinz Forster in 1982.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\">Is it true that you learned about him through sticker collections? <br/>My brother and I used to collect football stickers and from 1986 onwards we became great football fans.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\">Is it true that your parents wanted you to practice athletics? <br/>Yes, that\'s true. I used to practice on parallel bars with my brother until I turned 13. I gradually started preferring football.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\">Don\'t you think footballers live in a world of their own, that they could use the media more to connect with the real world? <br/>To each his own.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\">On the other hand, you have your own NGO...<br/>Yes, it helps poor children. This is important for me, but each person should do what they want. I\'ve always wanted to help poor children and it is easier to do this when you are famous. It isn\'t much hard work for me.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#cc00ff\">Would you have liked to receive crosses from Beckham? <br/>Sure. One of my best traits is heading the ball in. I think the team has other players with a great touch, like Guti. Sergio Ramos is also good at heading balls in. I\'m sure I will work hard on this aspect of the game.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#cc00ff\">Cannavaro loves to talk about football. He is currently your roomate. Do you talk much?<br/>Yes, considering the language barrier. He\'s developed a defensive and organised football mentality and that\'s very important for me too. As soon as I joined Germany I realised a centre back must be very organised.</font></p><p><font face=\"Arial\">Interview by Pablo Polo & José Luis Calderón, Marca<br/>Translation by Michael J.
