JAMES RODRIGUEZ

I believe all the fans want to see nice football, and when things do not go for you, they have the right to whistle.

I think I am someone who is happy playing football. It is just that. Whenever I go onto the pitch, I always try and be happy. That is the big motivation that I have always had. Nothing else.

It's true I play a little deeper for Real Madrid. I can push a little further forward for Colombia.

When you play and have the support of everyone, it makes a difference.

I basically live for the game. You constantly have to train yourself and take care of your well-being - your mind and your body. In the morning, I usually train. In the afternoon, I do everything I need to do in order to remain physically healthy. Basically, that is my entire day until about 6 or 7 P.M.

I think having kids is really something so beautiful.

The most important thing is to try and help the team.

I try every day to grow more and to help the team so we can do well.

You always dream to have a great World Cup.

Some people think that your life changes for the worse when you become a father, but on the contrary, when my daughter was born, she brought light and joy into my life.

Any player would want to be involved in games against Argentina.

Messi is from another planet.

I prefer Real Madrid to Barcelona.

If you want to learn and to become somebody, you must sacrifice some things.

I just want to play week in, week out.

I think it's something great to win the Champions League with Madrid; it's something special to be at a club that wants to win something, and I hope we can win it again.

Bayern Munich is as big a club as Real Madrid, if not even bigger.

It was always my dream to play for Real Madrid, and I'm going to go on living it because I'm staying.

Everyone who is close to me knows how I act and that I always look to take good care of myself.

The Bundesliga is very attractive, and I always watched Bayern games as a kid because it's a very big club.

I've said in the past that I'd like to play in Spain one day, because it is a league that is good technically and where you get a lot of touches on the ball, which is my style.

I'll play where the gaffer decides: in the middle, on the right, or on the left.

With time, you learn to be calmer.

Bayern are like Real Madrid - a club at the highest level. They always want to win titles and are used to always having to win. Without question, Bayern is a top club.

There are always bad games and bad afternoons.
