"It's been a dream come true to join Real Madrid. You cannot ask for more.
"It'll be great to play with Ruud van Nistelrooy. He's my favourite player and a great person."
On working for coach Bernd Schuster, Sneijder added: "I do not know really what Schuster is like as a trainer, but there are people who know him and have told me he is a trainer with a great mentality, half Spanish and half German. He is a very organized coach, but I do not know how he coaches."
