00:30But think about it, he caught you close, you saw the game against Etihad, didn't you?
00:34Well, of course, those games are the beautiful football games that you have to watch and enjoy.
00:42Do you still watch all the games in Madrid? Or only when...
00:46No.
00:47There's nothing better to do, tell me the truth.
00:49No, not all of them, but I watch a lot of games.
00:54I don't watch them that much, because in Spain you play very late, at 9 or 8pm, so it's a bit late for me.
01:06But yes, when I can, I do watch them and I still follow Madrid, of course.
01:11And the other day, when suddenly, at minute 80, you lost 2-1 to Man Utd,
01:16do you think that PSV are capable of coming back?
01:20Of course, it's no longer a surprise for us.
01:23It's something that Madrid always does.
01:27I think that everyone knows the history of what Madrid can do.
01:35We always say that Madrid believes in themselves until the end,
01:39that they always say a lot, and well, the game wasn't different.
01:44Speaking of the game, even though we lost 2-1,
01:50we knew that we still had another game.
01:53Of course, we're talking about Zito, Guardiola, a great coach,
01:58but we know that the return to the Bernabeu is very strong for Madrid.
02:04Now, with 3-2, having a great result,
02:08I can say that it won't be an easy return,
02:11because Zito and the coach they have are very strong,
02:16but we know that the Bernabeu is special in those moments.
02:21So, I wish Madrid all the luck in the world.
02:24I want Madrid to win, of course, not only because of Zito,
02:28but also because of Madrid.
02:31And well, I hope that Madrid wins that tie.
02:35You were there for many years, you won five Champions Leagues,
02:38the players are getting dirty, but the feats are repeated.
02:42What's in that shirt?
02:44When you're in there, and when you leave, like I did,
02:50you start to try to see the most complete answer for those moments.
02:58I think that the key here is that Madrid prepares the players.
03:07I mean, Madrid always has a column, which are the values,
03:12which give the values.
03:14When I arrived, Cristiano was already there, Sergio Ramos was already there,
03:17Iker Casillas was also there.
03:19They are players who already had the club's identity.
03:22Then came Casemiro, Luka Modric, Karim Benzema,
03:26those players.
03:28And we, of course, pass those players,
03:30who are Vinicius, Militão, Rodrigo, Federer.
03:33The column is always made, the values of the club are always made.
03:37The president already teaches the values of the club.
03:41So, when Belga comes in, of course, the player he is,
03:45already has the club's identity.
03:48But Vinicius Junior took five years to play.
03:51But Madrid prepares, prepares the players.
03:54Well, Mbappé, for example,
03:57and he will give you 30, 40 goals in the year.
04:00But these young players,
04:02Rodrigo, Militão, Federer,
04:04who is another one that I admire a lot for his great values
04:08and for what he plays.
04:10They are players who wait, wait, play two good games,
04:14good on the bench.
04:16The training they do for the players,
04:19especially the younger players,
04:21those who are longer already teach the values of the club to me.
04:24It is something that is difficult to explain,
04:26because we are talking about one of the best players in history,
04:31which is, as you said, Messi.
04:34But we also had one of the ...
04:36Because what Cristiano and Messi did,
04:40I, for me ...
04:41It is unrepeatable.
04:42No one will remember, no one will remember.
04:44From my generation, for me,
04:47the three best, not in this order,
04:50Cristiano, Messi,
04:51and a little behind Neymar,
04:53a little behind Neymar,
04:55who I would put in this position.
04:59But these two,
05:02what they did for football,
05:04changed football.
05:05They changed.
05:06Just as Guardiola changed football in his time,
05:10from Chiquitaca,
05:12these two changed.
05:13These two, when they scored 50 goals per season,
05:16people said it was a bad season.
05:18And it's 50 goals.
05:19These two, for me, changed football.
05:22And for me, they are players who will stay for life,
05:27because what they did for football is incredible.
05:31And we,
05:32let's see,
05:33we managed to win the Champions League,
05:38and of course with Cissou too,
05:40who was another very important person for us,
05:43who marked an era in this club.
05:45If you start looking at our team,
05:48it was incredible.
05:51Marcelo, Sergio Ramos,
05:53Pep, Barane, Carvajal,
05:55Toni, Luka, Karim,
05:58Ballon d'Or,
05:59Gerritsen, Bale too,
06:01Isco when he came in and played a lot of games.
06:05So the team we had was a team with a lot of respect,
06:09a team that imposed,
06:11a team of men.
06:13And well,
06:14that's why the story was made.
06:16For sure,
06:17it was a beautiful stage.
06:19I'm getting goosebumps.
06:22And the truth is that on the pitch,
06:24we didn't talk much.
06:25It was a lot about the look.
06:26It was a lot about the feeling.
06:28But yes, it was a beautiful stage,
06:30very beautiful.
06:31Of course, playing with Luka and Toni is much easier,
06:33because of the quality they have.
06:35And without a doubt, for me,
06:37it was one of the most beautiful things I've experienced in this club.
06:41I don't know,
06:42I've never said this to the press,
06:44in an interview, sorry.
06:46We were in the second Champions League in Lisbon,
06:51in Milan, sorry,
06:53against Atlético de Madrid.
06:55I remember we had already celebrated,
06:57we were in the shower,
06:58and Luka Modric came and said,
07:00we have to win two more.
07:03We have to win two more.
07:05We, Luka, we've already won two.
07:08And he said,
07:09no, no, no,
07:10with the team we have,
07:11we have to win at least two more.
07:13At least two more.
07:14And well, we won what we won,
07:17but we won two more.
07:20It's like this,
07:21you've won one,
07:23one Champions League,
07:25and everyone says,
07:26let's see next year.
07:28You only win La Liga in Madrid,
07:30and they say,
07:31well, you only win La Liga.
07:33You win the Copa del Rey.
07:34No, the year was a disaster.
07:36In Madrid it's like this.
07:37In Madrid it's like this.
07:38Es ganar.
07:39Ganar partidos.
