MADRID, May 7 (Xinhua) -- Argentine midfielder Fernando Gago said he is ready to assume Real Madrid's leadership "in the forthcoming years".

    In an interview with Don Balon soccer magazine, Gago also asked for "a little bit more time" for Madrid's soccer fans to see the midfielder which Argentina's soccer club Boca Juniors had had. "I always say the best has yet to come, as I get better acquainted with my teammates and when they get to know me better."

    "I ignore if I am worth 20 million euros. That was managed by Real Madrid's and Boca's presidents, not me. When I arrived I said I could not make miracles. I did not come as a savior, I came here to work with the team as best possible," said Gago.

    "I am a winner and I would never be happy with a second place," Gago added.
