āItās a shame not to play in El Clasico, a match that I love because I always score. It was a shame. But the whistles⦠it is life. We cannot change the opinion of angry people. It is a way of expressing their opinion and you should not take it personally. Iāve been whistled many times in my career. Itās the life of a Real Madrid player, and especially someone famous like me.
āI donāt know (why they whistled). I had the clubās authorisation not to be in Madrid and I wasnāt the only one in the squad who wasnāt there (at El Clasico). But these are things that must be accepted. We must look ahead and change it.ā

āAsk the coach. I was ready to start, but itās his decision. He told me Iām the fourth attacker in the squad. I canāt be angry with him; you have to respect their opinion. I have to work and wait to be a starter.
āI donāt have any problems with (Arbeloa). Iām not going to have a problem with not playing. You have to accept the coachās idea because everyone has their own ideas and philosophy. I have to work to be better thanĀ Vini, Mastantuono and Gonzalo.ā
