The Mexico international admitted that he was unhappy
on the Real Madrid bench but says the team's talisman is an example for
everyone to follow
The Mexico international spent last season on loan at the Santiago Bernabeu from Manchester United, but played a bit-part role in an underwhelming campaign in which he started just seven league games.
The attacker admits that he found it frustrating sitting on the bench, but insists he learned a lot from his team-mates, including Ronaldo.
"Cristiano is a great player," he told Univision. "There are no words to describe him. He is a clear example that hard work pays off.
"The season at Real Madrid was one full of learning. It helped me find myself again as a player.
"I was on the bench a lot, which was frustrating because I was not important."
Despite his peripheral role in the team, Chicharito scored the crucial winning goal for Los Blancos in their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Atletico Madrid, and he admits this was a highlight.
"The goal against Atletico was a big relief because it was a difficult year and I had so few opportunities," he said of the late strike that was set up by the Ballon d'Or winner.
The future of the Mexico star remains uncertain, but a number of clubs have been linked with his signature this summer, and even a return to Madrid has not been discounted.
