I believe in the club and I believe in the coach. I have spoken with him a lot and he has faith in me. Zidane's presence is one of the reasons behind my decision to stay. "I am feeling well at Madrid and want to keep developing here. All the conditions are right to get the best out of myself."I believe that staying put was the right call. I want to reach my best level this season. It was hard to miss the Euros due to injury, but I want to move on and look toward the future."The 23-year-old has a contract with Madrid until June 2020.</blockquote>
