I am happy at Madrid - Schuster
September 2007

"I am happy at Madrid."

Bernd Schuster has denied that he is unhappy at Real Madrid and rubbished the reports that he may quit Madrid next summer.

"I am happy;" he explained. "I have to be happy just for being a part of Real Madrid, but our match results also help.

"We have won vital games in both the league and the Champions League. I cannot ask for more. That said, there are still things we have to improve upon.

"The rumours are a result of what I said during the preseason; about having to adapt to Real Madrid, because it really is a different world.

"But this has nothing to do with whether I am happy or not. Of course I am happy here."

Schuster then revealed that his dream would be to guide Madrid to Moscow next spring and showed his delight at making a winning start to the Champions League campaign.

"I have always dreamed about being a part of a Champions League final, and last Tuesday we got off to a good start," he continued.

"I know it's going to be a long, hard road, but I'm here now and the dream is a little closer. I enjoyed the match against Werder Bremen.

"I wanted to win because it was important to get off to a good start. I had faith in the team, and these are anything but easy matches. I also enjoyed the fans, the stadium, the anthem, and Robben's debut."
