Transcript
00:02Well, first and foremost, hi, because I didn't see you for a very long time, we were way
00:06younger, but no, you know what, I'm looking forward to watch the World Cup.
00:15I will be working, I don't know if you know, I will be working there, but just the excitement,
00:21you know, as I always say, the World Cup is every four years, that's what makes it extra
00:26special, you know, the Champions League is every year, you always have a chance to win
00:29it, I'm not saying it's easy to win it, but you always have a chance to win it every
00:33year.
00:34The World Cup is a different ballgame, and so I'm really excited, the fact that it is in
00:39three countries, it's a great thing, you know, great to see that some people will have the
00:43opportunity, obviously in Mexico, in Canada, and in the US to watch the game, to see great,
00:48great sorry players, I just hope that's going to be a great World Cup, let me stay in my
00:53lane, like I said, I just hope that Kilian is going to be able to come, fit and perform
00:58for us, that's all I wish him.
01:01Same, what you want to see, you want to see the best player there, right, so hopefully
01:05for you, I hope that Lamine, you know, is going to be there, fresh, and perform, because
01:11what you want is to see the best player on that stage, being able to perform, even if
01:15I'm not Spanish, you want to see Lamine Yamal there, but that depends on a lot of things,
01:19like we all know he's an outstanding player, there's nothing to be said, he turned up at the
01:23Euro, in fact, he was the guy at the Euro, you know, amongst a lot of players, but he
01:28was the guy, you know what I like with Lamine, I saw something at the Euro that I rarely saw
01:32at that age, I'll explain, you guys will not remember, you guys will not remember, it was
01:38against France, I think you guys were 2-1 up, I think against us, and I think he received
01:46the ball on the side, he could have gone on the counter, he told the whole team, calm down, who
01:54does that at 16 years old, he told the team to calm down, you don't have that, that early, so
02:02people talk always about the skills, the desire, as he works also, he put, I always remember, he
02:09controlled the ball with his left, he turned, he went, and he gave the ball to Carvajal,
02:13I went, already? You understand? So, now, he's going to arrive at the World Cup, but when
02:22I see him play, he plays like he plays when he's in his neighbourhood, World Cup or not,
02:29intensity is the same, he's trying to play, he's trying to dribble, he takes risks, that's
02:33the type of player you want to see.
