Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira says that even though he doesn't speak Spanish very well, he can still communicate with his team-mates on the pitch.

Khedira admits that neither he nor compatriot Mesut Oezil can speak fluent Spanish yet but insists that this doesn’t impede them in matches.

"Oezil and I are ready to help,” Khedira is quoted as saying by Madrid’s official website. “We are creative and we can help Xabi Alonso.

“We don't speak Spanish very well at the moment, but we communicate well with our team-mates."

The defensive midfielder went on to speak about the upcoming match against Hercules.

"We have a good chance to win titles this season. If we play well as a team we will have chances to win in Alicante.

"We know our match against Hercules will be difficult. We faced them in the pre-season. They are dangerous and strong in attack.

"They have [Nelson] Valdez, whom I knew in the Bundesliga, and [David] Trezeguet, who always finds room in which to score."

Khedira concluded by stating he is confident that he will score sooner rather than later for the Blancos.

“I'm sure I will score soon. I've had chances to but was unlucky. I come closer to netting a strike each day. I've analysed my team-mates on the pitch, which will help me score."
