Sami Khedira is happy with his role at Real Madrid.

The midfielder accepts some of his teammates enjoy the bigger headlines.

"I fully understand that the attention is focused on Cristiano Ronaldo, Ozil and Karim Benzema. It's normal, they are the artists who make overhead kicks and invent stepover dribbles.

"We have an incredible team with the best offensive players in the world, but first you have to recover the ball," he said.
