Royston Drenthe has reiterated his desire to be part of Real Madrid's success story, as the Dutchman believes that "anything is possible" with the side that president Florentino Perez has assembled.
"I've been in Madrid for two years and I want to enjoy it, I want to succeed at the club," Drenthe told the club's official website, realmadrid.com.
"I felt good in pre-season, but now I'm thinking about the league, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey because they are very important competitions for us.
"We have to work very hard if we want to win everything. I believe anything is possible with this team," the 22-year-old declared.
Although the former Feyenoord winger's admiration for the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka is clear, he added that every member of the squad would need to pull their weight if los Blancos are to win trophies.
"[The expensive signings] can't do everything on their own. There are a lot of games, that's why the coach needs 25 players, you can't win with two or three."

Gonzalo Higuain: It Is A Privilege To Play For Real Madrid
Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain says he is "privileged" to be involved with Los Blancos, and is confident that his abilities on the field will determine how much he plays.
In an interview with Don Balon, the Argentinean said that it is the responsibility of the players to ensure that Madrid operate "as a team and not as a group of individuals", and he insists that despite the competition for places, they all play for the team and for each other.
"Instead of talking about competition, we should be looking to make a team that all play for the same side."
Higuain believes that he is in Manuel Pellegrini's plans in the same way as any other striker at the club.
"[Karim] Benzema, Raul and Ruud [van Nistelrooy] and I are on an equal footing," he said.
The 21-year-old forward also admitted that Pellegrini has a difficult job picking a team from so many talented players.
He added, "The coach has the difficult decision, however I will respect whatever he decides to do, and keep working hard."
"I have high hopes and I am optimistic that this can be a big year for me.

Official: Miguel Torres Leaves Real Madrid For Getafe
Real Madrid defender Miguel Torres has completed his switch to neighbours Getafe on the final day of the summer transfer window, the buying club have announced on their official website.
El Geta will pay Madrid €2 million for the young full-back, while Torres will sign a five-year contract at Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
Madrid retain the option to re-purchase Torres with a two-year buy-back clause included in the contract.
The 23-year-old has played for Madrid 52 times since making his debut in 2007. But following the arrival of Alvaro Arbeloa from Liverpool earlier this summer he has dropped down the pecking order at the Bernabeu, forcing him to look elsewhere for first-team football.
The Spain Under-21 international had been linked with a number of clubs, including city rivals Atletico Madrid, before becoming coach Michel's seventh summer signing for Los Azulones.
