James: I’ll earn my place at Real Madrid

The World Cup Golden Boot winner also insisted he didn’t join Madrid expecting to walk into the first team and will earn his place in Ancelotti’s plans.“I’m happy because being here is a dream fulfilled. Hopefully everything goes well,” James said.“I’m very excited and I’m looking forward. I want to win trophies at this great club.“I’ve followed Madrid since childhood - the days of Zidane, Beckham, Ronaldo, the Galaticos. I loved Zidane.“When I knew Madrid wanted me I did everything in my power to go. It was talked about a while back but I wasn’t sure.“It means I have to be at a high level. I feel ready but I’m coming with great humility.“I’ll play where the coach wants. I can play left, right, forward, wide, playmaker…I’ll work hard to earn a place among the stars that I have by my side.“I have to earn my place. There are players who have spent years here and I have to respect that.“Wearing the No. 10 is big. It carries a lot of pressure. I hope I wear this number with responsibility. Madrid is the greatest club in the world.”(uk.eurosport.yahoo.com)Bakudaily.az
