Pepe has assured Real Madrid fans there's a lot more to come from him - despite his outstanding form this season.
The big-money defensive signing from Porto has been a revelation at the back for Real and said: "I always dreamed about playing for Real Madrid and I have worked for this all my life. Of all ways, I must recognize that the jump has come to me at the right moment."
"I have a lot still to show. It is my first year and there is long time in front of me. I am calm because I have come to be a better player."
"My idol always has been Fernando Hierro. For his professionalism and his character."
"I am still young, but I want to be like him in the future."
