Speaking to Telemadrid ahead of Los Blancos' Intercontinental Cup final in Doha, the 57-year-old said: "I will try to meet with President Florentino at the final in Doha (not yet played at the time of the interview) and at the same time put myself at his complete disposal. I have known him for a long time and I have great admiration for his capacity for work, for where he has led this club and all Real Madrid fans are very happy with the management he has done at this great club."
He added: "(In the Intercontinental Cup) we are faced with the possibility, once again, although it may seem easy, which it is not, that the best ambassador we have in the world, Real Madrid, can be champion. It seems that we are used to it, but despite that, this is very difficult and it is very difficult to achieve what this great club achieves."
