On the team side, he points out that the side have won a great many matches and are up near the top, fighting for the league title. On a personal level, he admits there was a period of adaptation at first, but says he now feels at home and able to perform at his very best.
Looking ahead to Sunday, he talks of a huge game at home. He recalls the atmosphere at the derby against Real Madrid, which he describes as incredible, and hopes for a packed stadium driving on a team that wants all three points in a first-versus-second showdown.
