00:00In the end, when you leave football, you have to have your mind a little busy so as not to think so much about it.
00:05Sincerely, the ability he will have to prove that he is a great player, he will have it.
00:11Now, he will have the problem because next year they will demand the same as this year or more.
00:22I retired four and a half years ago from football.
00:26I have been linked to the world of football around the Real Madrid Foundation, with La Liga, with La Liga Española,
00:34different marketing companies, start-ups.
00:40Now we have a new or fun challenge, which is Kingsley in Spain, with YouTubers and others.
00:52And yes, there are things to do.
00:54I recently met a colleague of mine, Joaquín, who said that since he retired from Betis, he has been travelling more and doing more things.
01:01And it's true, in the end, when you leave football, you have to have your mind a little busy so as not to think so much about it.
01:12What I remember the most were the moments we lived and the concentrations we had.
01:18I started in the Eurocup in 2000 when I was 18 years old, 24 years ago.
01:27And it's like you've been growing little by little as you had more experience in football.
01:35And then I was very lucky to win two Eurocups.
01:38Winning one is difficult, winning two is much more.
01:42And we have contributed to making millions of Spaniards happy.
01:47What do you think about the European Cup?
01:51My opinion is that it has not yet reached its peak, which is from the quarterfinals.
02:01I think that's where you will see all the strong teams, after this phase of groups and round of 16.
02:11And that's where we're going to enjoy a lot.
02:14I've always liked this competition.
02:17And I liked it when the teams went to the quarterfinals.
02:26Well, I'm impressed that in a European Cup like this, Germany can win so easily and with so many goals against Scotland.
02:35I'm impressed that Spain has already won 3-0.
02:38It motivates me, I like it as a Spanish fan.
02:42And then, perhaps not that it impresses me, but that it has left me a little more like Italy, England or, for example, France.
03:01Sincerely, the ability that he will have to show that he is a great player, he will have it.
03:06Only and exclusively him.
03:08And of course the coaches who give him that confidence.
03:12It is good that young players continue to come out at the level of football.
03:15It is good that young players continue to come out in Spain.
03:18Because that means that in the future they can be considered as stars.
03:23It is good for a whole team.
03:25And well, let's see if with the maturity that he already seems to have, plus the confidence he has, plus the other teammates who are going to support him and help him a lot,
03:33he consolidates and becomes a great player for the interests of Spain.
03:42I think that like everything, everything has to evolve.
03:46Everything has to get better.
03:48And the VAR also has to get better.
03:50In the end, it will be faster, the images will be sharper, it will be easier.
03:54A possible resolution of any play that is difficult for the referee.
03:59And that's what it's about.
04:00Dynamic.
04:01That everything is fast.
04:02Fast, fast, fast.
04:03It can't be ten minutes to make a decision.
04:06In that, I think that football seems to me that it is very, very, very good.
04:09In the end, you have to reward what is really good, not what is bad.
04:19Technology is everywhere.
04:21Not only in football, nor in American football, nor in the NBA, nor in the VAR.
04:26In everything in general.
04:27In the day to day.
04:28Our children have tablets.
04:31Our children have computers.
04:33They have phones.
04:36They have to be more and more understood in technology.
04:38And this has come to stay.
04:39This technological revolution that there was a few years ago has come to stay and to continue evolving.
04:50Well, look, I honestly don't know.
04:51I think he has reached a club.
04:53Well, he has reached a club, no.
04:54He has reached the most important club in the world.
04:56And he has shown it with growth that he is a great player and that he can be there.
05:01Now, he is going to have the problem because next year they are going to demand the same from him as this year or more.
05:06And that is what makes you a superstar.
05:09Let's see if he can also consolidate this way of playing and his condition as a great player at the world level in his team, which is England.
05:19An England that is very strong, that has very good players.
05:22And that has already been a sub-European champion three years ago.
05:25And that, well, I think he has a good squad to be able to play in the Europa League.
05:36Surely he will be able to be the world champion of Real Madrid.
05:38Of course he will.
05:39He has all the conditions to be part of it.
05:43What happens is that he has a process.
05:45There are more veterans who are above him.
05:47But I am convinced that my advice, my advice that I would give to Bellingham is to keep learning.
05:52From the most veterans there are, to keep learning about the history of the club.
05:56And he has everything to be a great player of the club and a great captain.
06:05It is clear that, of course, with Mbappé's suspension for the next games, France may suffer a little.
06:11It is true that France has a very good team.
06:13France has a team with very good players.
06:17There has also been a revolution on Sam's part.
06:20But even so, France is still a favourite to be able to be in the final of this Eurocup.
06:27And Mbappé is a great player, obviously.
06:29Everyone wants to have Mbappé in their team and in their national team.
06:33Everyone would nationalize Mbappé in their respective national team.
06:38So let's see if France can take that step forward and can also show that they can play just as well without him.
