1
00:00:59,935 --> 00:01:01,187
Spain in black and white

2
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:02,813
is a Spain
full of suffering,

3
00:01:02,897 --> 00:01:05,524
it's coming out of a war.
It's a Spain with problems.

4
00:01:07,485 --> 00:01:09,820
The Spanish
national soccer team

5
00:01:09,904 --> 00:01:11,530
couldn't feel
like others either.

6
00:01:11,655 --> 00:01:12,823
Because everyone else
looked at Spain

7
00:01:12,907 --> 00:01:14,784
as a second class country.

8
00:01:15,034 --> 00:01:17,119
The international
isolation can be seen.

9
00:01:17,203 --> 00:01:19,413
Spanish soccer
still isn't up to the level

10
00:01:19,497 --> 00:01:21,123
of other countries.

11
00:01:21,791 --> 00:01:23,000
They won Euros once,

12
00:01:23,125 --> 00:01:26,128
in a showing
that was full of patriotism,

13
00:01:26,212 --> 00:01:28,130
after their history with Russia.

14
00:01:28,672 --> 00:01:30,508
Everyone was
lively and happy.

15
00:01:30,591 --> 00:01:33,427
Spain has the European
Championship in its hands.

16
00:01:33,761 --> 00:01:36,263
It helped us
give like a kick

17
00:01:36,347 --> 00:01:38,724
of pride to Spanish fans
and Spanish soccer.

18
00:01:39,058 --> 00:01:41,644
They made it to big tournaments
with no hope,

19
00:01:41,769 --> 00:01:44,730
and the country didn't feel
like they were let down.

20
00:01:44,897 --> 00:01:46,065
They found it normal.

21
00:01:46,357 --> 00:01:48,442
That was our place in the world.

22
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:56,951
I remember the Spanish team
when I was young,

23
00:01:57,243 --> 00:01:58,494
it was like vulgar.

24
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,125
The pass, the goal,

25
00:02:05,209 --> 00:02:07,545
we're Spanish,
we can handle anything.

26
00:02:11,799 --> 00:02:13,676
Spanish soccer was fury,

27
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:16,011
by the claws,
impetus, bravery.

28
00:02:18,013 --> 00:02:21,308
The pride, the effort,
the ability to sacrifice,

29
00:02:21,684 --> 00:02:23,811
as opposed to
the absence of talent,

30
00:02:23,936 --> 00:02:25,938
the absence of technique.

31
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:31,485
I remember being
in the dining room,

32
00:02:31,569 --> 00:02:33,153
eating pistachios with my dad,

33
00:02:33,237 --> 00:02:35,865
watching us lose
to Romania, to Yugoslavia.

34
00:02:37,992 --> 00:02:39,994
We remembered
the Spanish team's goals,

35
00:02:40,077 --> 00:02:41,287
as goals that didn't exist.

36
00:02:41,370 --> 00:02:43,414
Cardeñosa's miss,

37
00:02:43,831 --> 00:02:45,875
Michel's shot that hit
the keeper's boot

38
00:02:45,958 --> 00:02:47,418
and the ref ruled a no goal.

39
00:02:48,210 --> 00:02:50,421
Julio Salinas's goal
against Italy.

40
00:02:51,839 --> 00:02:54,008
All goals that never happened.

41
00:02:55,342 --> 00:02:58,012
We lost and lost,
until losing the final.

42
00:03:01,432 --> 00:03:05,060
IN 1996 IKER CASILLAS JOINED
THE JUNIOR NATIONAL TEAM

43
00:03:05,769 --> 00:03:07,229
How has your experience been?

44
00:03:07,313 --> 00:03:08,647
Honestly, it's been great,

45
00:03:08,731 --> 00:03:11,358
I don't think
I'll ever forget it.

46
00:03:11,650 --> 00:03:13,027
And I hope it helps me,

47
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:14,695
if God wants me to play

48
00:03:14,778 --> 00:03:17,239
in the future.
Same with them, right?

49
00:03:18,532 --> 00:03:22,661
The first time I saw Iker,
be Iker, he was 16.

50
00:03:22,745 --> 00:03:24,246
In a European championship

51
00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:26,832
we won, the sub-16
European Championship.

52
00:03:26,916 --> 00:03:30,085
And he stopped a penalty shot
in the final.

53
00:03:34,715 --> 00:03:37,551
My first memory with the sub-15
team, in this case,

54
00:03:37,635 --> 00:03:39,386
it was a call-up we had

55
00:03:39,470 --> 00:03:41,347
to Real Madrid's
Antigua Ciudad Deportiva.

56
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:43,682
I had been playing well
at the lower levels.

57
00:03:43,766 --> 00:03:45,768
And when I got the letter
from the national team

58
00:03:45,851 --> 00:03:47,645
I was nervous,
but really excited.

59
00:03:47,728 --> 00:03:49,563
Because it was like
starting to fulfill my dream.

60
00:03:49,647 --> 00:03:51,815
Coinciding, with Xavi Hernández.

61
00:03:53,609 --> 00:03:56,111
The first time I saw
Xavi play, it was amazing.

62
00:03:56,195 --> 00:03:59,073
Seeing his class
being such a small player.

63
00:03:59,156 --> 00:04:02,284
He was one of the most exquisite
soccer players I've ever seen.

64
00:04:08,207 --> 00:04:10,292
I met Iker on the sub-17 team.

65
00:04:10,501 --> 00:04:13,087
We had chemistry,
a great connection.

66
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:15,881
That feeling of,
"I like this guy."

67
00:04:15,965 --> 00:04:18,801
He's quick, smart,
and that's how we connected.

68
00:04:20,010 --> 00:04:21,845
We laughed,
we talked about everything.

69
00:04:21,929 --> 00:04:23,806
And we always had anecdotes,
experiences,

70
00:04:23,889 --> 00:04:25,224
we had a good time.

71
00:04:26,141 --> 00:04:29,436
He played for Madrid,
he was Madrid to the bone.

72
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,438
And I've been Barcelona
my whole life.

73
00:04:31,689 --> 00:04:33,899
Each of us were
very true to our team.

74
00:04:33,983 --> 00:04:37,361
I'm sure he celebrated
when Madrid lost.

75
00:04:37,444 --> 00:04:39,279
When we talked about
the top Madrid team,

76
00:04:39,363 --> 00:04:40,990
before we were at that level.

77
00:04:42,449 --> 00:04:45,202
We got together
at the sub-20 World Cup,

78
00:04:45,327 --> 00:04:46,912
and I noticed
his winning attitude.

79
00:04:47,121 --> 00:04:48,455
So from there,

80
00:04:48,539 --> 00:04:51,458
we had a synergy.
Of that winning attitude.

81
00:04:52,918 --> 00:04:56,088
Every competition we were in,
we wanted to win.

82
00:04:56,422 --> 00:04:59,425
We won the sub-20 World Cup,
and that changed everything.

83
00:05:02,928 --> 00:05:05,180
Xavi and Casillas
are the start,

84
00:05:05,264 --> 00:05:07,975
but without Puyol's courage,
it would've been impossible.

85
00:05:11,186 --> 00:05:14,314
In our generation,
in the lower levels,

86
00:05:14,398 --> 00:05:16,775
lots of players had won
important competitions.

87
00:05:16,859 --> 00:05:19,987
They invested in soccer
and the players

88
00:05:20,112 --> 00:05:22,823
who came out were prepared
for the highest level.

89
00:05:22,906 --> 00:05:24,658
Iniesta, he passes to Torres.

90
00:05:24,742 --> 00:05:25,993
We were lucky

91
00:05:26,076 --> 00:05:27,661
that right behind us
were players

92
00:05:27,745 --> 00:05:30,748
who were also making a name
at the lower levels.

93
00:05:30,831 --> 00:05:33,250
Namely Fernando Torres, Iniesta.

94
00:05:39,214 --> 00:05:41,759
I remember debuting
on the sub-16 with Iniesta,

95
00:05:41,884 --> 00:05:43,635
we always played together,
since we debuted.

96
00:05:43,719 --> 00:05:46,346
And at those levels
we almost always won.

97
00:05:49,767 --> 00:05:51,602
The national team
at the lower levels

98
00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:53,729
always won titles.

99
00:05:53,896 --> 00:05:56,815
It was a matter of time
before the senior team

100
00:05:56,899 --> 00:05:59,193
did the same thing.

101
00:05:59,276 --> 00:06:02,488
EURO 2004 PORTUGAL

102
00:06:05,908 --> 00:06:07,826
As always,
these are quality players,

103
00:06:07,910 --> 00:06:09,161
the group was easy,

104
00:06:09,244 --> 00:06:11,580
but Spain has had trouble.

105
00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:13,874
It's Spain's worst qualification

106
00:06:14,124 --> 00:06:16,210
since Euros in 1988.

107
00:06:16,293 --> 00:06:18,128
There's no reason for this.

108
00:06:18,212 --> 00:06:20,005
Like always, we made it
and couldn't win the final.

109
00:06:22,508 --> 00:06:23,967
The Spanish Football Federation

110
00:06:24,051 --> 00:06:25,677
has sought consensus
in Spanish soccer,

111
00:06:25,761 --> 00:06:26,929
to choose a manager.

112
00:06:27,012 --> 00:06:28,764
And experience has won.

113
00:06:28,847 --> 00:06:31,308
The Manager
with the longest history.

114
00:06:31,391 --> 00:06:33,727
My first reaction when
I heard on the radio

115
00:06:33,811 --> 00:06:35,479
that Luis was going to be
in charge,

116
00:06:35,646 --> 00:06:38,190
I can't describe it,
it wasn't joy.

117
00:06:38,690 --> 00:06:40,943
It wasn't joy,
obviously it wasn't sadness.

118
00:06:41,026 --> 00:06:43,028
It's knowing he'll be demanding.

119
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:45,739
And pretty much knowing

120
00:06:45,823 --> 00:06:48,283
that we'll be successful,

121
00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:50,702
but also that there would be
tremendous change,

122
00:06:50,786 --> 00:06:53,163
as far as what I knew
as the national team

123
00:06:53,247 --> 00:06:54,456
up to that point.

124
00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:58,836
Soccer doesn't have
a past or a future,

125
00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:00,212
it has a present.

126
00:07:00,295 --> 00:07:02,881
And it's win, win, win, win,

127
00:07:03,006 --> 00:07:05,968
then win again and again
and win again,

128
00:07:06,051 --> 00:07:07,177
and win, win, win.

129
00:07:07,261 --> 00:07:08,637
Want me to go on
for a half-hour?

130
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,805
That's soccer.

131
00:07:11,265 --> 00:07:13,767
I always say
he was a misunderstood genius,

132
00:07:13,851 --> 00:07:15,894
because at that time,
he wasn't recognized.

133
00:07:17,771 --> 00:07:19,439
He had a long career,

134
00:07:19,523 --> 00:07:21,233
but he hadn't had
much success.

135
00:07:21,316 --> 00:07:23,443
Luis Aragonés needed
that cherry on top,

136
00:07:23,527 --> 00:07:24,736
to end his career.

137
00:07:24,820 --> 00:07:28,240
And he chose the most difficult,
doing it with the national team,

138
00:07:28,323 --> 00:07:30,075
which had never won.

139
00:07:30,367 --> 00:07:33,036
And being who he is,
he accepted the challenge.

140
00:07:33,745 --> 00:07:35,789
Luis wants
the big one for Spain,

141
00:07:35,873 --> 00:07:37,708
to wrap up his career
in style.

142
00:07:37,791 --> 00:07:40,002
Winning something with Spain,
for me it would be,

143
00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:44,256
I would retire
from my sports career,

144
00:07:44,715 --> 00:07:46,592
as a coach and manager.

145
00:07:46,717 --> 00:07:48,051
With something important.

146
00:07:50,429 --> 00:07:53,098
They changed coaches
and we had Luis Aragonés.

147
00:07:54,141 --> 00:07:56,310
And the first two games,
I wasn't called up,

148
00:07:56,393 --> 00:07:58,770
but there are more opportunities
I started playing well

149
00:07:58,854 --> 00:08:00,272
and was called up
for the third game.

150
00:08:00,355 --> 00:08:02,649
I arrived at the hotel and
the first thing he says to me,

151
00:08:02,774 --> 00:08:04,526
"You must've thought, why
doesn't this old son of a bitch

152
00:08:04,610 --> 00:08:06,361
call me up, right?"

153
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:08,780
Damn! That was our introduction.

154
00:08:08,864 --> 00:08:09,865
No hi, no...

155
00:08:10,282 --> 00:08:11,783
No way...

156
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:14,411
"No, sir, how could I know
what you were thinking."

157
00:08:14,620 --> 00:08:16,747
"You're a son of a bitch,
etc..."

158
00:08:16,872 --> 00:08:19,416
First thing, "Go upstairs
and we'll talk."

159
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,084
That first feeling.

160
00:08:21,585 --> 00:08:23,086
He has character,

161
00:08:23,170 --> 00:08:25,172
there were incidents
like with Romario,

162
00:08:25,380 --> 00:08:28,050
whom he ordered to look him
directly in the eye,

163
00:08:28,133 --> 00:08:31,762
or with Eto'o, whom he shook
by the collar.

164
00:08:35,766 --> 00:08:38,101
After a game,
he came into the locker,

165
00:08:38,185 --> 00:08:39,978
let's say a little heated,

166
00:08:40,229 --> 00:08:41,230
and said,

167
00:08:41,396 --> 00:08:43,774
"Kid, why are you so upset?"

168
00:08:43,857 --> 00:08:45,234
And I said, "Nothing,

169
00:08:45,317 --> 00:08:46,818
it's just that
I didn't play much

170
00:08:46,902 --> 00:08:48,278
and I wanted to play more."

171
00:08:48,362 --> 00:08:51,615
He grabbed me,
lifted me up against the wall,

172
00:08:51,698 --> 00:08:53,992
and said, "Who provided
the assist for the second goal?"

173
00:08:54,076 --> 00:08:56,245
And I said, "I did,"
and he said, "You did!"

174
00:08:56,328 --> 00:08:58,830
"You're the best at assists
in this country!"

175
00:08:58,914 --> 00:09:01,375
"And that's all I want
from you!"

176
00:09:01,458 --> 00:09:04,628
"To play the way you know..."
Anyway, he talked to me...

177
00:09:06,338 --> 00:09:08,882
I'm sure he was diplomatic
at home.

178
00:09:08,966 --> 00:09:11,301
As far as threats,
taking off his glasses,

179
00:09:11,385 --> 00:09:13,637
you and me,
tons of times.

180
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,974
But he was able to fight
with a player,

181
00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:19,893
then give him a hug
and go out to dinner.

182
00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:24,940
We really connected with him.

183
00:09:25,023 --> 00:09:27,317
Because he was tough,

184
00:09:27,401 --> 00:09:28,819
but endearing.

185
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:31,113
He gave serious speeches,

186
00:09:31,822 --> 00:09:34,408
but also broke your heart
with his sayings.

187
00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:38,495
He always had a funny comment,

188
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:40,080
he had a great sense of humor.

189
00:09:40,163 --> 00:09:41,206
And I remember he told me

190
00:09:41,290 --> 00:09:43,041
that he put on
his leather jacket,

191
00:09:43,125 --> 00:09:45,711
got on his motorcycle,
put on his helmet and left.

192
00:09:46,003 --> 00:09:47,462
So no one would recognize him.

193
00:09:47,546 --> 00:09:50,090
He made his tributes,
like everyone.

194
00:09:54,219 --> 00:09:55,679
When I made the national team,

195
00:09:55,762 --> 00:09:57,389
he was betting
on younger players,

196
00:09:57,472 --> 00:10:00,183
in my case I was only 18,

197
00:10:00,267 --> 00:10:02,019
like we said in my town,

198
00:10:02,102 --> 00:10:03,312
"He hasn't even played
with a flashlight."

199
00:10:03,437 --> 00:10:06,064
Let's go, let's go! Set it up!

200
00:10:07,149 --> 00:10:09,985
He could see it.
A generational change,

201
00:10:10,110 --> 00:10:11,778
not excluding the veterans,

202
00:10:11,862 --> 00:10:13,322
but starting to combine,

203
00:10:13,447 --> 00:10:14,740
seeing when to mix us,

204
00:10:14,823 --> 00:10:16,867
and consolidate as a group

205
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:18,785
with a goal in front of us
for the future.

206
00:10:20,829 --> 00:10:24,041
For Luis, the goal
was to have, from the first day,

207
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:26,460
a national team
that could be champions.

208
00:10:27,711 --> 00:10:29,880
I'm thinking 24 hours a day,

209
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:31,423
even when I'm sleeping,

210
00:10:31,506 --> 00:10:33,842
sometimes I wake up
kicking a ball.

211
00:10:33,925 --> 00:10:35,302
It's 24/7.

212
00:10:35,427 --> 00:10:37,054
Right from the start
he gets it in your head

213
00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:39,473
that we're going to be
world champions.

214
00:10:40,015 --> 00:10:42,893
And when he said that,
we looked at each other...

215
00:10:43,727 --> 00:10:45,312
And we thought,
"This guy's crazy."

216
00:10:50,901 --> 00:10:52,819
He had a plan
and he kept to it religiously.

217
00:10:52,903 --> 00:10:54,112
And he let you know

218
00:10:54,237 --> 00:10:55,614
at all times,
down to every detail.

219
00:10:55,697 --> 00:10:57,741
The goal is
to go out and compete,

220
00:10:57,824 --> 00:10:58,909
to win without hangups.

221
00:10:58,992 --> 00:11:01,745
He bets on something new,

222
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:03,413
something Spain
had never done.

223
00:11:03,497 --> 00:11:06,792
It was playing with players
who weren't very tall or strong,

224
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:08,502
compared to others.

225
00:11:08,585 --> 00:11:10,337
If you watched a game
between Spain and England,

226
00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:11,630
or Spain and Germany,

227
00:11:11,713 --> 00:11:13,840
it looked like men against boys.

228
00:11:13,924 --> 00:11:15,384
Soccer at that time

229
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:17,094
wasn't so much about talent,

230
00:11:17,177 --> 00:11:18,261
about possession,

231
00:11:18,345 --> 00:11:20,097
it was about headers

232
00:11:20,180 --> 00:11:21,973
and being physically stronger.

233
00:11:23,642 --> 00:11:25,227
Smaller players
started showing up,

234
00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:26,853
who weren't used much
at that time,

235
00:11:26,978 --> 00:11:28,105
especially in the midfield.

236
00:11:28,188 --> 00:11:30,857
You started to see
Cesc, Xavi, Iniesta.

237
00:11:32,275 --> 00:11:33,652
He trusted us,

238
00:11:33,735 --> 00:11:36,905
when we didn't even
trust ourselves.

239
00:11:36,988 --> 00:11:39,449
I remember his words,

240
00:11:39,533 --> 00:11:41,284
he said,
"If I don't win

241
00:11:41,368 --> 00:11:43,620
with this team,
I'm a shitty manager."

242
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,705
The manager gave us confidence,

243
00:11:45,789 --> 00:11:48,250
he had faith in us.

244
00:11:48,417 --> 00:11:50,669
He gave power
to a younger generation.

245
00:11:53,088 --> 00:11:55,382
When Luis Aragonés
took over the team,

246
00:11:55,465 --> 00:11:57,050
the team hierarchy

247
00:11:57,134 --> 00:11:58,385
was much more vertical.

248
00:11:58,510 --> 00:12:00,429
There were two players
or three leaders,

249
00:12:00,512 --> 00:12:02,472
and everything was done
around those players.

250
00:12:02,556 --> 00:12:05,851
The previous generation,
which was Cañizares,

251
00:12:05,934 --> 00:12:08,728
Raúl, Míchel, Morientes.

252
00:12:08,812 --> 00:12:11,022
They were examples for everyone

253
00:12:11,106 --> 00:12:13,775
on the team,
they were amazing players.

254
00:12:16,445 --> 00:12:18,947
The most relevant, most
important player at the time

255
00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:20,699
was Raúl, without a doubt.

256
00:12:22,951 --> 00:12:26,246
There were two important figures
in the locker room.

257
00:12:26,329 --> 00:12:29,124
One was Luis Aragonés,
the other was Raúl.

258
00:12:29,249 --> 00:12:31,418
He's a player with a lot
of weight, a lot of strength.

259
00:12:31,501 --> 00:12:33,628
The relationship,
sometimes it's good,

260
00:12:33,712 --> 00:12:36,506
and at a point it becomes
a power surge.

261
00:12:37,549 --> 00:12:41,178
Luis started thinking
about changing Raúl's role.

262
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:44,473
He's no longer
a surefire starter.

263
00:12:44,556 --> 00:12:46,099
And that complicates

264
00:12:46,183 --> 00:12:48,894
the relationship,
it complicates it.

265
00:12:49,978 --> 00:12:53,607
2006 WORLD CUP GERMANY

266
00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:56,735
He left Raúl on the bench
in the first game,

267
00:12:56,860 --> 00:12:58,862
and you could see
a bit of a debate.

268
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:01,448
The conflict came about
because at one point

269
00:13:01,531 --> 00:13:04,910
Raúl had a knee injury
and Luis feels like

270
00:13:05,035 --> 00:13:07,537
he's doing him a favor,

271
00:13:07,621 --> 00:13:10,040
including Raúl
in those conditions.

272
00:13:10,207 --> 00:13:12,042
But Raúl felt like he was

273
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:13,835
a surefire starter,
like he always had been.

274
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:17,130
So I think that's when
there was some friction.

275
00:13:21,426 --> 00:13:23,136
That goal from Zidane

276
00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:25,847
meant Spain's elimination
from the World Cup.

277
00:13:25,931 --> 00:13:29,351
France goes to the
quarterfinals, winning 3-1.

278
00:13:31,895 --> 00:13:33,021
From there I think

279
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:35,106
the relationship deteriorated,
there's a tension,

280
00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:37,776
and at one point Luis decides,
either Raúl or Luis.

281
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:44,991
Until today, he had never
left Raúl off.

282
00:13:45,075 --> 00:13:48,370
You can argue among yourselves
and think what you want, but...

283
00:13:49,287 --> 00:13:53,625
for better or worse,
I'm the manager.

284
00:13:55,168 --> 00:13:56,836
Little by little
he understood

285
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,964
that maybe he had to do
something different.

286
00:13:59,047 --> 00:14:01,591
We had gone
to many World Cups and Euros

287
00:14:01,675 --> 00:14:04,010
with that style,
with that type of player,

288
00:14:04,094 --> 00:14:06,596
and maybe he decided
or understood

289
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:08,306
that it was best to change.

290
00:14:08,390 --> 00:14:10,183
It's often best
to start from scratch,

291
00:14:10,267 --> 00:14:13,478
to make a transition
with players you need,

292
00:14:13,562 --> 00:14:14,980
who are the pillars of the team.

293
00:14:15,063 --> 00:14:17,232
But you need them
to understand there's a change.

294
00:14:17,315 --> 00:14:19,776
And he understood that to win,
he had to make changes.

295
00:14:22,153 --> 00:14:24,823
Raúl's last game
was against Northern Ireland,

296
00:14:24,906 --> 00:14:26,950
where he had a confrontation

297
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:29,202
with Luis Aragonés.

298
00:14:30,078 --> 00:14:32,956
They were both confrontational,

299
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:34,833
they both had
a lot of personality.

300
00:14:34,916 --> 00:14:37,335
But there are things
you just can't talk about.

301
00:14:37,419 --> 00:14:41,756
Things that should remain
in the locker room.

302
00:14:43,091 --> 00:14:44,551
I think that Luis Aragonés

303
00:14:44,634 --> 00:14:46,177
is one of the bravest people

304
00:14:46,261 --> 00:14:47,929
I've met in soccer.

305
00:14:48,096 --> 00:14:49,639
Because leaving Raúl off
at that time,

306
00:14:49,723 --> 00:14:51,474
he knew the repercussions.

307
00:14:51,558 --> 00:14:54,019
OUT!

308
00:14:54,644 --> 00:14:56,187
We went to Palmas,
and we went to Oviedo

309
00:14:56,271 --> 00:14:57,314
and we went to Sevilla,

310
00:14:57,397 --> 00:14:59,190
wherever we went, Raúl
was the topic of conversation.

311
00:14:59,274 --> 00:15:01,067
RAUL, NATIONAL TEAM!

312
00:15:01,192 --> 00:15:02,652
That made the press

313
00:15:02,736 --> 00:15:04,362
go after Luis Aragonés.

314
00:15:04,487 --> 00:15:07,449
A sector of the Madrid press
didn't understand.

315
00:15:07,574 --> 00:15:09,034
They thought Luis
had gone crazy

316
00:15:09,117 --> 00:15:10,410
and that, without Raúl,

317
00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:12,871
it was impossible
for Spain to win anything.

318
00:15:13,204 --> 00:15:15,540
MADRID FANS PREPARE
PRO-RAUL, ANTI-LUIS PROTESTS

319
00:15:15,957 --> 00:15:17,709
I think it's important
to put into context

320
00:15:17,792 --> 00:15:19,628
what Raúl meant for the team,

321
00:15:19,711 --> 00:15:20,837
for the whole country.

322
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:21,963
For me he is

323
00:15:22,088 --> 00:15:24,215
perhaps the best
Spanish player ever.

324
00:15:24,299 --> 00:15:28,303
Him not being on the team
was like government news.

325
00:15:28,595 --> 00:15:33,058
Raúl, Raúl, Raúl!

326
00:15:33,141 --> 00:15:35,268
The field we played on in Spain

327
00:15:35,352 --> 00:15:37,145
was a hostile environment
for us.

328
00:15:37,228 --> 00:15:39,356
Actually, the last games
before going to Euros,

329
00:15:39,439 --> 00:15:41,691
we played in Spain
to lots of whistling.

330
00:15:45,445 --> 00:15:47,906
I remember a game we played
against Argentina in Murcia,

331
00:15:47,989 --> 00:15:48,990
we won 2-1.

332
00:15:49,074 --> 00:15:52,285
And the whole stadium was
against us, the whole stadium.

333
00:15:52,369 --> 00:15:54,579
I remember arriving in Málaga
with him on the train,

334
00:15:54,829 --> 00:15:56,873
there were 2,000 people
hurling insults.

335
00:15:56,956 --> 00:15:58,083
Raúl, Raúl!

336
00:15:58,166 --> 00:16:00,043
And those were
campaigns orchestrated

337
00:16:00,126 --> 00:16:01,336
by the press

338
00:16:01,419 --> 00:16:03,755
and some very important
journalists in this country.

339
00:16:03,838 --> 00:16:05,340
Raúl denies
that anyone from his circle

340
00:16:05,423 --> 00:16:06,925
organized that reception

341
00:16:07,008 --> 00:16:08,885
at the national team's
last game.

342
00:16:08,968 --> 00:16:11,971
Luis Aragonés hasn't called him
up since September 2006,

343
00:16:12,055 --> 00:16:13,723
when they lost to Ireland.

344
00:16:13,807 --> 00:16:16,017
People who know me,

345
00:16:16,893 --> 00:16:18,895
know that I'm not involved.

346
00:16:18,978 --> 00:16:21,064
I have a lot of respect
for the manager.

347
00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:23,775
I never said Raúl
organized this.

348
00:16:23,858 --> 00:16:26,194
You say it,
because you want to.

349
00:16:26,277 --> 00:16:28,988
And because you're
obviously against Luis,

350
00:16:29,072 --> 00:16:30,657
but I never said that.

351
00:16:30,740 --> 00:16:32,742
I said it was organized.

352
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:34,828
And I've told that to you,

353
00:16:35,453 --> 00:16:37,205
I'm telling you now,

354
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:38,915
and I've told Raúl.

355
00:16:39,082 --> 00:16:42,752
NATIONAL TEAM OF MARTYRS

356
00:16:43,503 --> 00:16:45,171
After Raúl left
the national team,

357
00:16:45,255 --> 00:16:47,006
we played Sweden
and we lost.

358
00:16:47,424 --> 00:16:48,508
And Raúl wasn't there,

359
00:16:48,591 --> 00:16:50,885
it wasn't Raúl's fault
it was Luis's fault.

360
00:16:51,177 --> 00:16:53,388
So the shovel is
for Luis Aragonés.

361
00:16:55,724 --> 00:16:57,517
You're right,

362
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,646
it has been underwhelming.

363
00:17:01,730 --> 00:17:03,189
And that made things
much more complicated.

364
00:17:03,273 --> 00:17:06,234
Because people wanted Luis
to leave the team.

365
00:17:06,317 --> 00:17:07,736
Luis Aragonés said that

366
00:17:07,819 --> 00:17:10,572
if Spain failed
in the World Cup in Germany,

367
00:17:10,697 --> 00:17:11,740
he would leave.

368
00:17:11,823 --> 00:17:13,116
Spain failed
in the World Cup in Germany,

369
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:14,534
because they didn't achieve
their goals,

370
00:17:14,617 --> 00:17:15,660
and he didn't leave.

371
00:17:15,744 --> 00:17:16,786
I sincerely think

372
00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:19,789
that Luis's time to leave
has come.

373
00:17:19,873 --> 00:17:21,666
From 2006 to 2008,

374
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:23,752
everyone wanted Luis's head.

375
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,129
At one point it seemed like

376
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:27,839
all Luis did was lose.

377
00:17:27,964 --> 00:17:30,091
For weeks, for months we lived

378
00:17:30,175 --> 00:17:32,927
with the feeling that Luis
was leaving

379
00:17:33,011 --> 00:17:35,972
and we were leaving with him,
because of Raúl.

380
00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:38,516
He had a rough time personally.

381
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,353
At two or three times he was
about to leave.

382
00:17:42,479 --> 00:17:44,063
I don't think
he took into account

383
00:17:44,147 --> 00:17:46,191
the media attention
he was suffering,

384
00:17:46,274 --> 00:17:47,317
especially regarding his family.

385
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,903
Mister, did you expect
this reception?

386
00:17:50,862 --> 00:17:52,447
No, I didn't.

387
00:17:52,530 --> 00:17:54,449
I didn't expect it
but it's not unexpected.

388
00:17:54,532 --> 00:17:56,493
People want you
to remain manager.

389
00:17:56,576 --> 00:17:58,620
Relax, we'll talk about it soon.

390
00:17:58,953 --> 00:18:01,039
Do you like that the fans
are behind you?

391
00:18:01,122 --> 00:18:04,292
Of course I like it,
everyone likes that.

392
00:18:04,375 --> 00:18:05,585
-OK.
-Thank you, Mister.

393
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:06,878
It was rough for him.

394
00:18:06,961 --> 00:18:08,588
When we saw,
all us players,

395
00:18:08,671 --> 00:18:11,299
that the press was against
the manager,

396
00:18:11,382 --> 00:18:13,510
and the manager faced them,
he was honest and brave,

397
00:18:13,593 --> 00:18:15,678
the whole group got the message,

398
00:18:15,762 --> 00:18:17,347
and we did this.

399
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:18,807
Amazing bonding.

400
00:18:18,890 --> 00:18:20,850
The group strengthened.

401
00:18:21,184 --> 00:18:22,811
We're in this situation
together,

402
00:18:23,311 --> 00:18:26,981
and we can feel the pressure
and get carried away.

403
00:18:27,106 --> 00:18:30,276
or we can move ahead,
and prove everyone wrong.

404
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:32,987
There was only one way to become

405
00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:35,740
the people's team.

406
00:18:36,324 --> 00:18:37,492
And that was winning.

407
00:18:37,575 --> 00:18:40,036
DENMARK-SPAIN
EUROS 2008 CLASSIFICATION

408
00:18:41,037 --> 00:18:44,082
I think
La Roja was born in Denmark.

409
00:18:47,794 --> 00:18:49,712
We made 20 or 25 passes

410
00:18:49,796 --> 00:18:52,131
ending in a goal by Ramos
over the keeper.

411
00:18:53,842 --> 00:18:56,928
We had the opportunity,
after a really long possession

412
00:18:57,011 --> 00:18:58,888
where I ended with the ball,
and I finished

413
00:18:58,972 --> 00:19:00,640
with a Pikachu...

414
00:19:00,723 --> 00:19:02,308
Good thing it ended with a goal.

415
00:19:03,226 --> 00:19:04,853
And after that,
in Denmark,

416
00:19:04,936 --> 00:19:06,688
we beat Europe's best.

417
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:12,569
It was no longer Spain,
testosterone, fury, no.

418
00:19:12,735 --> 00:19:15,613
We liked to have fun,
pass the ball, score goals.

419
00:19:15,738 --> 00:19:18,032
And that's what
Luis Aragonés bet on.

420
00:19:18,908 --> 00:19:22,203
Luis said,
"You're the best at this."

421
00:19:22,370 --> 00:19:25,498
In association, in technique,

422
00:19:25,623 --> 00:19:29,419
in tactical intelligence,
and that was the key for me.

423
00:19:30,044 --> 00:19:31,963
We can't compete
with physical force,

424
00:19:32,046 --> 00:19:33,798
and he said we would compete
playing soccer.

425
00:19:33,882 --> 00:19:35,592
He gave me all the power.

426
00:19:35,717 --> 00:19:37,802
And being 24, 25 years old,

427
00:19:37,886 --> 00:19:39,429
having him trust me so much,

428
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:41,848
I had to return the favor.

429
00:19:44,642 --> 00:19:47,020
We had created
a new model of playing,

430
00:19:47,103 --> 00:19:50,189
new players,
we had all the tools possible.

431
00:19:50,273 --> 00:19:51,357
All that was missing

432
00:19:51,482 --> 00:19:53,985
was making the players believe
that they could win.

433
00:19:54,277 --> 00:19:56,362
SPAIN WON THANKS TO XAVI'S GOAL,

434
00:19:56,446 --> 00:19:58,448
BUT STILL HAVEN'T SOLVED
THEIR PROBLEMS

435
00:19:58,531 --> 00:20:01,910
The last friendly, before
going to Austria, we won 1-0.

436
00:20:02,368 --> 00:20:04,078
But the feeling
in the papers

437
00:20:04,162 --> 00:20:07,123
was that we couldn't score,
that our defense was poor,

438
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:08,458
that the team wasn't together.

439
00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:09,959
SPAIN WAS LAZY THE FIRST HOUR,
WAKING UP LATE FOR XAVI'S GOAL

440
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:12,003
They were really hard
on Luis Aragonés.

441
00:20:12,086 --> 00:20:15,173
And I had the feeling
that those around the team

442
00:20:15,381 --> 00:20:17,550
didn't want things to go well.

443
00:20:17,675 --> 00:20:20,929
Just to show the world
that Luis made a mistake.

444
00:20:21,304 --> 00:20:24,140
Greetings from
Tivoli Stadium in Innsbruck,

445
00:20:24,265 --> 00:20:27,060
where the Euro start
for the Spanish team.

446
00:20:27,143 --> 00:20:29,729
As they face
the Russian national team.

447
00:20:29,812 --> 00:20:31,064
Hey, listen to me,

448
00:20:31,147 --> 00:20:33,816
the time has come.

449
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:36,277
We've been dragged
through the mud.

450
00:20:36,361 --> 00:20:38,112
Let's show them,

451
00:20:38,321 --> 00:20:39,781
let's show them.

452
00:20:39,864 --> 00:20:41,574
And when I'm tired,
I raise my hand

453
00:20:41,658 --> 00:20:42,784
and someone else comes in.

454
00:20:45,662 --> 00:20:46,996
-Let's go!
-Let's go!

455
00:20:48,456 --> 00:20:51,292
We all knew
that we were good players,

456
00:20:51,376 --> 00:20:53,086
that we had a good group
around us,

457
00:20:53,169 --> 00:20:54,921
but maybe we couldn't accept

458
00:20:55,004 --> 00:20:56,839
that we could be winners.

459
00:20:57,006 --> 00:20:58,341
And it started with Euros.

460
00:20:58,633 --> 00:21:00,760
That's where
we had to show up.

461
00:21:00,843 --> 00:21:02,387
And that first game
against Russia...

462
00:21:03,596 --> 00:21:05,890
The team was in tune.

463
00:21:08,309 --> 00:21:10,103
What Luis Aragonés
incorporated,

464
00:21:10,311 --> 00:21:13,398
which made more noise,
even just the number,

465
00:21:13,773 --> 00:21:15,900
Was switching out Raúl,
for "Guaje," for Villa.

466
00:21:15,984 --> 00:21:18,194
Fábregas, passes to Villa.
There's the Asturian.

467
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:21,197
And "Guaje" at first,
he carried a heavy load,

468
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,032
that generational change.

469
00:21:23,408 --> 00:21:25,451
"Guaje" did his thing
and started to believe,

470
00:21:25,535 --> 00:21:27,954
and he started doing
what he knew how to do,

471
00:21:28,037 --> 00:21:29,122
which was score goals.

472
00:21:29,247 --> 00:21:31,124
-Go, Villa!
-Villa! Villa! Villa!

473
00:21:31,207 --> 00:21:33,668
-Goal!
-Goal!

474
00:21:33,751 --> 00:21:35,962
I felt like we could go far.

475
00:21:36,045 --> 00:21:38,840
Obviously winning would be hard.

476
00:21:39,132 --> 00:21:40,299
Let's go!

477
00:21:40,633 --> 00:21:42,635
We had that
psychological block

478
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,095
of the quarterfinals.

479
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:45,304
And we played Italy.

480
00:21:46,055 --> 00:21:47,223
Our rival.

481
00:21:48,558 --> 00:21:53,229
The Azzurra haven't lost
to Spain for 30 years.

482
00:21:55,273 --> 00:21:56,524
It was impossible
to beat Italy.

483
00:21:56,607 --> 00:21:58,026
They had never beaten Italy.

484
00:21:58,151 --> 00:21:59,819
They always lost,
something always happened.

485
00:21:59,902 --> 00:22:02,864
Italy beat us years earlier,

486
00:22:02,947 --> 00:22:05,199
with Baggio's goal,

487
00:22:05,283 --> 00:22:06,868
Luis Enrique's elbow.

488
00:22:09,287 --> 00:22:11,122
They were our nemesis.

489
00:22:16,419 --> 00:22:18,337
The game starts,
the ball is in play!

490
00:22:18,421 --> 00:22:20,214
-Let's go!
-Possession for Spain.

491
00:22:20,298 --> 00:22:21,924
Let's go, Spain!

492
00:22:26,429 --> 00:22:28,639
Here goes Senna,
what a shot!

493
00:22:28,765 --> 00:22:30,391
-Buffon!
-It's over.

494
00:22:30,475 --> 00:22:33,436
Ninety minutes
and it's tied at zero!

495
00:22:33,561 --> 00:22:34,979
When we went
to extra time,

496
00:22:35,063 --> 00:22:36,981
you start thinking
those negative thoughts,

497
00:22:37,065 --> 00:22:38,733
"This is the end for us,

498
00:22:38,816 --> 00:22:40,777
we're going home,
it's Italy."

499
00:22:45,073 --> 00:22:46,574
And it goes to PKs.

500
00:22:52,163 --> 00:22:53,206
And I saw the Italians,

501
00:22:53,289 --> 00:22:54,916
they had the feeling
that they were going through.

502
00:22:54,999 --> 00:22:57,502
And we felt
this great tension.

503
00:22:57,585 --> 00:22:59,629
I remember those
taking penalty shots

504
00:22:59,712 --> 00:23:02,381
we scared, they were afraid.

505
00:23:04,383 --> 00:23:06,260
I usually took penalties
and I said,

506
00:23:06,344 --> 00:23:08,012
"I must be one of the five."

507
00:23:08,096 --> 00:23:09,597
And Luis came over
and said,

508
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,682
"The first PK
is the hardest.

509
00:23:11,766 --> 00:23:14,435
If we make the first one,
that will be huge,

510
00:23:14,644 --> 00:23:16,687
you're taking it, because
you're the best at PKs."

511
00:23:16,771 --> 00:23:19,524
I was like,
"Shit, that's heavy, Luis."

512
00:23:24,821 --> 00:23:27,281
Villa with his right.
Buffon dives.

513
00:23:27,365 --> 00:23:28,658
-Villa's shot.
-Goal!

514
00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:31,828
-Goal!
-Let's go! Goal!

515
00:23:31,911 --> 00:23:33,162
Let's go, Pepe!

516
00:23:35,498 --> 00:23:36,624
Camoranesi shoots!

517
00:23:36,707 --> 00:23:38,334
Goal. Shot by the kid.

518
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:40,920
Let's go, Güiza,
right past Buffon.

519
00:23:41,087 --> 00:23:43,339
The shot
by Güiza with his right!

520
00:23:44,924 --> 00:23:46,342
Shot from Di Natale!

521
00:23:46,425 --> 00:23:47,677
Iker!

522
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,929
-Nice!
-He stops it!

523
00:23:50,221 --> 00:23:52,181
I hadn't shot a penalty
since the youth team.

524
00:23:52,265 --> 00:23:54,684
Since I was 15,
I took them with Barça.

525
00:23:54,767 --> 00:23:56,519
And Mister starts saying

526
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:59,063
number one, number two,
number three, number four,

527
00:23:59,147 --> 00:24:01,399
and he says,
"Cesc shoots fifth."

528
00:24:01,941 --> 00:24:03,526
Number five, I was like,
"Damn."

529
00:24:03,651 --> 00:24:05,444
I didn't expect that.

530
00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:08,906
You have that pressure of
if you score,

531
00:24:09,365 --> 00:24:12,118
you break
an important curse.

532
00:24:12,201 --> 00:24:13,911
Quarterfinals, against Italy.

533
00:24:15,872 --> 00:24:19,750
I wanted to shoot to my left,
to Buffon's right, over him.

534
00:24:21,711 --> 00:24:24,130
And the last minute,
where I have to shoot,

535
00:24:24,213 --> 00:24:26,549
I saw him dive
a little earlier than normal,

536
00:24:26,632 --> 00:24:28,593
so I went for the mythical
left to right,

537
00:24:28,718 --> 00:24:30,261
it was perfect...

538
00:24:30,344 --> 00:24:33,097
Shoots with his right!
Goal!

539
00:24:33,181 --> 00:24:34,932
Goal!

540
00:24:35,433 --> 00:24:37,935
A 24-year drought!

541
00:24:38,269 --> 00:24:42,481
And Spain is back
in the Euro semifinals!

542
00:24:46,194 --> 00:24:47,612
We were all aware

543
00:24:47,695 --> 00:24:49,280
that we had a good group
around us,

544
00:24:49,363 --> 00:24:51,699
but maybe we didn't have in mind

545
00:24:51,782 --> 00:24:53,201
that we could be winners.

546
00:24:53,284 --> 00:24:55,536
And that's what changed it
for all of us.

547
00:24:56,287 --> 00:24:58,331
I noticed that when
we won that game,

548
00:24:58,497 --> 00:25:00,583
it was like taking
that 50-pound weight

549
00:25:00,666 --> 00:25:02,210
off our shoulders.

550
00:25:02,376 --> 00:25:03,502
And...

551
00:25:04,253 --> 00:25:06,130
We were ready for anything.

552
00:25:07,924 --> 00:25:10,551
People take a breath and say,
Spain made it.

553
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:13,054
I think that's where we got rid

554
00:25:13,137 --> 00:25:15,264
of those hangups
as a country.

555
00:25:16,224 --> 00:25:19,769
And we didn't change history
by winning in penalties,

556
00:25:19,852 --> 00:25:24,023
history was all mental,
we changed it thanks to him.

557
00:25:24,106 --> 00:25:26,567
One, two, three,
win, win, win!

558
00:25:26,651 --> 00:25:28,110
Let's go!

559
00:25:29,695 --> 00:25:31,989
After the Italy game,
a lot changed,

560
00:25:32,073 --> 00:25:34,742
in terms of mentality,
in terms of confidence.

561
00:25:34,825 --> 00:25:36,369
We became a different team.

562
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:41,040
We played well against Russia,

563
00:25:41,123 --> 00:25:42,750
one of our best games,
I think,

564
00:25:42,833 --> 00:25:44,460
we played as a national team.

565
00:25:45,002 --> 00:25:47,296
We put the small guys
together again,

566
00:25:47,421 --> 00:25:48,464
I think the second half

567
00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:51,008
was some of the most fun
I've had on a soccer pitch.

568
00:25:56,889 --> 00:26:00,309
LEAVING EVEN THOUGH
HE'S A CHAMPION

569
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,229
LUIS ARAGONÉS:

570
00:26:03,312 --> 00:26:05,356
"I'M LEAVING BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T
DONE ANYTHING TO MAKE ME STAY"

571
00:26:05,439 --> 00:26:06,524
In the press,

572
00:26:06,607 --> 00:26:08,693
they started talking about
Luis not staying on,

573
00:26:08,776 --> 00:26:10,528
he had already told us.

574
00:26:12,154 --> 00:26:13,698
-Guys...
-Luis told us,

575
00:26:13,781 --> 00:26:15,283
when Euros were over
he was leaving

576
00:26:15,366 --> 00:26:16,867
and he wanted to leave
a champion.

577
00:26:16,951 --> 00:26:18,744
No one remembers the runner up.

578
00:26:18,828 --> 00:26:21,289
They think that's how we are,
that we party.

579
00:26:21,372 --> 00:26:22,873
We party and win.

580
00:26:22,957 --> 00:26:25,001
And since we're better,
we're going to win.

581
00:26:25,084 --> 00:26:26,836
By Euros 2008, Luis Aragonés

582
00:26:26,919 --> 00:26:28,754
had a rocky relationship

583
00:26:28,838 --> 00:26:30,673
with the Spanish
Football Federation.

584
00:26:31,299 --> 00:26:33,884
He said he didn't see
confidence in the president,

585
00:26:34,427 --> 00:26:36,012
and of course that surprised
all of us

586
00:26:36,095 --> 00:26:40,141
Like, after winning Euros,
what's going on?

587
00:26:40,224 --> 00:26:42,643
The manager won Euros,

588
00:26:42,893 --> 00:26:45,187
I think that gives him
the right to stay on.

589
00:26:45,271 --> 00:26:47,648
We were so excited

590
00:26:47,732 --> 00:26:50,151
and so happy,
enjoying the moment,

591
00:26:51,068 --> 00:26:54,155
that we never talked about
what would happen next.

592
00:26:54,822 --> 00:26:56,240
Because he made sure

593
00:26:56,782 --> 00:26:59,327
that Euros
were the most important thing.

594
00:27:00,244 --> 00:27:01,829
And the best gift
we could give him

595
00:27:01,912 --> 00:27:03,205
was him being the first manager

596
00:27:03,289 --> 00:27:05,124
to win Spain's first Euros,

597
00:27:05,207 --> 00:27:06,917
after so much time,

598
00:27:07,001 --> 00:27:09,712
when nobody believed in us.

599
00:27:19,305 --> 00:27:22,892
When he came to Atlético
as manager,

600
00:27:22,975 --> 00:27:24,810
I was 17,

601
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:29,148
and that relationship
was like a sports father

602
00:27:29,231 --> 00:27:30,441
and son.

603
00:27:34,070 --> 00:27:36,030
The day of the final,
in the locker room,

604
00:27:36,113 --> 00:27:39,158
there were moments
you remember your whole life.

605
00:27:39,241 --> 00:27:40,534
We were in the hallway

606
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:42,745
and he pushed me
against the wall,

607
00:27:42,828 --> 00:27:45,164
he had done that
once at Atlético, but...

608
00:27:45,373 --> 00:27:47,708
But that day there was something
different in his eyes.

609
00:27:47,792 --> 00:27:50,336
And he said it was my moment,
that it was our moment,

610
00:27:50,419 --> 00:27:51,921
that we were going to be
champions.

611
00:27:52,004 --> 00:27:53,798
And that I was going to score
two goals.

612
00:27:57,676 --> 00:28:00,012
I felt in that moment,
that it was a goodbye.

613
00:28:00,096 --> 00:28:02,348
And we had to give him
a happy ending.

614
00:28:02,598 --> 00:28:05,184
SPAIN-GERMANY
FINAL

615
00:28:05,434 --> 00:28:07,061
Don't miss any details.

616
00:28:07,144 --> 00:28:08,562
Open your eyes.

617
00:28:08,771 --> 00:28:10,189
Because this is historic.

618
00:28:10,272 --> 00:28:12,525
Spain in the final of Euros!

619
00:28:27,415 --> 00:28:29,708
Forty-four years of waiting,

620
00:28:29,792 --> 00:28:31,502
whole generations
of soccer players

621
00:28:31,585 --> 00:28:33,504
who tried
and didn't make it.

622
00:28:33,879 --> 00:28:38,134
Millions of Spaniards
waiting for this moment.

623
00:28:38,217 --> 00:28:40,094
Waiting for exactly this moment.

624
00:28:40,219 --> 00:28:41,929
This is our moment.

625
00:28:42,012 --> 00:28:43,347
Go, Spain!

626
00:28:43,431 --> 00:28:45,182
The game is underway!

627
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:48,602
In the final of Euros,

628
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:50,604
the first 10 minutes
were a disaster.

629
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:53,107
They came at us from
all directions, it was like,

630
00:28:53,399 --> 00:28:55,734
"This could get ugly."

631
00:29:00,656 --> 00:29:02,450
But one moment
changed the whole game,

632
00:29:02,533 --> 00:29:04,493
Fernando's header.

633
00:29:07,580 --> 00:29:09,582
It was a game
where we said,

634
00:29:09,665 --> 00:29:11,792
"We know how to compete,
we're young,

635
00:29:11,876 --> 00:29:14,503
we play different,
but we know how to compete."

636
00:29:19,550 --> 00:29:21,218
What a nice pass for Torres,

637
00:29:21,302 --> 00:29:23,053
and Torres fights,
Torres shoots!

638
00:29:23,137 --> 00:29:25,139
Goal!

639
00:29:25,222 --> 00:29:28,726
Goal!

640
00:29:28,809 --> 00:29:30,478
Goal, goal, goal!

641
00:29:30,561 --> 00:29:32,897
Goal!

642
00:29:39,028 --> 00:29:40,196
For Spain!

643
00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:42,740
Goal!

644
00:29:45,117 --> 00:29:47,786
For "El Niño"!

645
00:29:47,870 --> 00:29:49,788
-Spain wins!
-It's over!

646
00:29:49,914 --> 00:29:52,374
Champions of Europe!

647
00:29:52,458 --> 00:29:54,460
We are champions!

648
00:29:55,419 --> 00:29:56,462
That was the moment,

649
00:29:56,545 --> 00:29:58,047
when that whole process
was worth it,

650
00:29:58,172 --> 00:29:59,715
when we could
say to the world,

651
00:29:59,798 --> 00:30:02,301
that we weren't wrong.
That Luis wasn't crazy.

652
00:30:06,096 --> 00:30:07,389
And that Spain had won.

653
00:30:07,473 --> 00:30:10,351
And that the fans had
a new team to cheer for.

654
00:30:10,434 --> 00:30:11,644
Because that's how we felt,

655
00:30:11,727 --> 00:30:13,979
because there weren't fans
of the teams coming to see us,

656
00:30:14,063 --> 00:30:15,439
they came to see
the national team,

657
00:30:15,523 --> 00:30:17,024
because it was
the national team.

658
00:30:19,985 --> 00:30:22,446
I think what you see
in that celebration,

659
00:30:22,530 --> 00:30:23,948
was a group of friends.

660
00:30:25,699 --> 00:30:27,660
First, I was happy
for Luis Aragonés,

661
00:30:27,743 --> 00:30:29,245
because he deserved it.

662
00:30:31,330 --> 00:30:33,123
And when you win,

663
00:30:33,624 --> 00:30:36,544
and you see him win, you say,
"Wow, life is fair,

664
00:30:36,627 --> 00:30:39,129
soccer has been fair
to Luis Aragonés."

665
00:30:56,981 --> 00:30:59,567
I remember after winning
Euros 2008,

666
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:01,944
I couldn't sleep for two nights.

667
00:31:02,027 --> 00:31:03,487
Let's go!

668
00:31:06,824 --> 00:31:09,910
I felt like I hadn't gone out
for 10 years.

669
00:31:09,994 --> 00:31:13,372
I was full of life,
I could handle anything.

670
00:31:26,343 --> 00:31:27,344
Tell me!

671
00:31:27,428 --> 00:31:28,470
Tell you?

672
00:31:28,596 --> 00:31:31,932
Tell me what happened.

673
00:31:36,061 --> 00:31:37,938
Let's go, guys, let's go!

674
00:31:38,981 --> 00:31:42,526
Just remember,
that this Euros trophy is yours.

675
00:31:44,194 --> 00:31:47,698
We wanted to bring happiness
to Spanish soccer.

676
00:31:47,823 --> 00:31:49,950
For everyone around us,

677
00:31:50,034 --> 00:31:51,702
everyone, we deserve it.

678
00:31:52,745 --> 00:31:55,122
Come on! Long live Spain!

679
00:31:56,790 --> 00:31:59,543
When Xavi
grabbed the microphone,

680
00:31:59,627 --> 00:32:01,378
and says, "Long live Spain,"

681
00:32:01,462 --> 00:32:04,506
it was like catharsis.

682
00:32:04,590 --> 00:32:06,508
Like... Damn!

683
00:32:06,592 --> 00:32:10,304
A Catalan through and though,
saying long live Spain.

684
00:32:10,387 --> 00:32:13,849
It is approved
with 120 votes in favor

685
00:32:14,016 --> 00:32:16,143
and 15 against.

686
00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:20,064
Catalonia votes to reform
their autonomous status,

687
00:32:20,147 --> 00:32:22,274
after almost two years
of debates.

688
00:32:22,816 --> 00:32:24,693
For us it's another step,

689
00:32:24,985 --> 00:32:26,570
but not toward another statute,

690
00:32:26,695 --> 00:32:29,031
but rather a legitimate goal,

691
00:32:29,323 --> 00:32:31,200
toward a state, our state.

692
00:32:31,283 --> 00:32:32,534
While Spain is enjoying

693
00:32:32,618 --> 00:32:34,286
these great
soccer triumphs,

694
00:32:34,370 --> 00:32:37,247
the independence movement
is growing.

695
00:32:37,331 --> 00:32:38,874
Under the slogan,
"We are one nation,

696
00:32:38,957 --> 00:32:40,042
we want our own state."

697
00:32:40,125 --> 00:32:42,878
Thousands of people are out
in the streets of Barcelona.

698
00:32:45,005 --> 00:32:47,675
I want my children to see
an independent Catalonia.

699
00:32:47,758 --> 00:32:50,177
Someone says Spain
is determined

700
00:32:50,386 --> 00:32:53,013
to live together or apart.

701
00:32:53,097 --> 00:32:54,973
Because it's one place,

702
00:32:55,057 --> 00:32:57,851
very different
and very heterogeneous

703
00:32:57,935 --> 00:32:59,603
in terms of political
and social realities.

704
00:33:01,689 --> 00:33:04,274
Among them, Catalonia
has a lot of personality,

705
00:33:04,358 --> 00:33:06,652
it is a force
within Spain.

706
00:33:06,735 --> 00:33:09,863
It fights with Madrid,

707
00:33:09,947 --> 00:33:12,116
like two centers of power

708
00:33:12,199 --> 00:33:14,326
representing different views.

709
00:33:17,329 --> 00:33:19,665
I had to defend myself
to my friends,

710
00:33:19,790 --> 00:33:21,583
because I did
a especial program

711
00:33:21,667 --> 00:33:23,669
on TV and they said,

712
00:33:23,752 --> 00:33:27,548
"How could you do a program
on the Spanish national team?

713
00:33:27,631 --> 00:33:28,924
The Red Square

714
00:33:29,007 --> 00:33:30,968
to watch all the games
of the national team.

715
00:33:31,093 --> 00:33:33,345
You're Catalan, you can't follow
the Spanish national team,

716
00:33:33,470 --> 00:33:35,514
if you're Basque you can't
follow the national team.

717
00:33:35,597 --> 00:33:37,015
These guys didn't care.

718
00:33:37,141 --> 00:33:39,476
There were Catalan guys
playing on the national team.

719
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,271
Or Basques celebrating
the team's victory.

720
00:33:43,647 --> 00:33:44,732
Part of the euphoria

721
00:33:44,815 --> 00:33:46,734
has to do with letting loose,

722
00:33:46,859 --> 00:33:49,528
at that difficult time
economically and socially,

723
00:33:49,611 --> 00:33:51,071
that the country
was going through.

724
00:33:52,072 --> 00:33:53,282
Earthquake on Wall Street

725
00:33:53,365 --> 00:33:55,909
and the banking panorama
of the United States.

726
00:33:55,993 --> 00:33:57,035
Lehman Brothers,

727
00:33:57,119 --> 00:33:59,037
the fourth largest investment
bank in the world,

728
00:33:59,121 --> 00:34:02,458
with 25,000 employees,
declares bankruptcy.

729
00:34:02,916 --> 00:34:05,294
Lehman Brothers folds,
the recession,

730
00:34:05,377 --> 00:34:07,546
the crisis, the adjustments,
the firings.

731
00:34:07,629 --> 00:34:09,214
The eviction!

732
00:34:09,339 --> 00:34:10,758
We're going to stop it!

733
00:34:10,966 --> 00:34:13,010
The social, economic
and labor drama

734
00:34:13,093 --> 00:34:14,803
at the time causes

735
00:34:14,887 --> 00:34:17,389
Spain to achieve
this amazing success.

736
00:34:17,514 --> 00:34:20,017
So the national team becomes,
on the one hand,

737
00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:22,436
a great breath of relief,

738
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:25,314
for a country that was socially
and occupationally anxious,

739
00:34:25,397 --> 00:34:28,984
and at the same time,
a beacon of unity.

740
00:34:29,651 --> 00:34:32,321
Of national patriotism.

741
00:34:32,738 --> 00:34:36,366
Coinciding with a very acute
economic crisis.

742
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:42,748
Euros 2008 had two effects,
one is that now

743
00:34:42,831 --> 00:34:44,875
the national team
is of interest to the country,

744
00:34:44,958 --> 00:34:48,378
and two, the whole country
focuses on the national team.

745
00:34:48,462 --> 00:34:49,630
Which before was marginal.

746
00:34:49,755 --> 00:34:52,758
I had a friend, Fabio Cannavaro,

747
00:34:53,509 --> 00:34:56,386
and after winning Euros,
he slapped my leg and said,

748
00:34:56,470 --> 00:34:58,096
"Sure, that's great,

749
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,058
but you won't know
what it feels like

750
00:35:01,308 --> 00:35:02,309
to lift a trophy

751
00:35:02,392 --> 00:35:05,062
until you win the World Cup."

752
00:35:05,145 --> 00:35:07,523
And I just looked at him like,

753
00:35:08,565 --> 00:35:10,317
is this guy an asshole?

754
00:35:10,484 --> 00:35:13,237
We were all aware
that Spain had won Euros.

755
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,323
We had never even been close
to a World Cup.

756
00:35:16,406 --> 00:35:20,244
As a kid I looked at
that beautiful gold trophy,

757
00:35:20,577 --> 00:35:22,663
in the hands of people

758
00:35:23,413 --> 00:35:26,291
in Brazilian or German uniforms.

759
00:35:37,302 --> 00:35:39,513
You look around,
and who is our...

760
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:42,391
Our icon?

761
00:35:45,060 --> 00:35:46,270
It wasn't clear,

762
00:35:46,353 --> 00:35:48,480
there was no one
who stood out from the rest.

763
00:35:48,647 --> 00:35:50,858
And that can be good
or it can be bad.

764
00:35:50,941 --> 00:35:53,569
Knowing that without that player

765
00:35:53,735 --> 00:35:55,612
who stands out,
we could do it.

766
00:36:09,376 --> 00:36:11,962
We would have loved it,
we would have enjoyed it.

767
00:36:12,045 --> 00:36:14,047
Actually,
we wanted Luis to continue,

768
00:36:14,131 --> 00:36:15,924
because he had earned it.

769
00:36:17,009 --> 00:36:19,553
So we moved from that pain
of him not continuing,

770
00:36:19,678 --> 00:36:23,140
to the uncertainty of,
who will be next?

771
00:36:23,265 --> 00:36:25,976
Will we be able to do
what we've been doing?

772
00:36:27,728 --> 00:36:29,855
Vicente del Bosque,
at that time was

773
00:36:29,938 --> 00:36:32,649
one of the most decorated
managers in the world.

774
00:36:33,775 --> 00:36:35,402
He was coming off
an amazing run

775
00:36:35,485 --> 00:36:36,528
with Real Madrid,

776
00:36:36,612 --> 00:36:38,655
and was without a team
at that time.

777
00:36:38,780 --> 00:36:41,241
And the technical director of
the Spanish Football Federation

778
00:36:41,325 --> 00:36:43,285
offered him the role of manager
and he accepted.

779
00:36:45,704 --> 00:36:48,290
It wasn't an easy position,
because he was taking over

780
00:36:48,373 --> 00:36:50,500
from the only manager
to win a title with Spain,

781
00:36:50,584 --> 00:36:52,002
in the modern era.

782
00:36:53,795 --> 00:36:56,214
Taking over a team that's won
is the hardest thing in soccer,

783
00:36:56,298 --> 00:36:58,008
because of the expectations.

784
00:36:58,091 --> 00:37:01,219
When it changed
from Luis Aragonés to Vicente,

785
00:37:01,303 --> 00:37:03,138
at first I was let down.

786
00:37:03,221 --> 00:37:06,058
Obviously when
Vicente del Bosque arrived,

787
00:37:06,183 --> 00:37:07,726
we were all wondering,

788
00:37:07,809 --> 00:37:10,312
what will he do?
How will he manage the group?

789
00:37:11,313 --> 00:37:12,814
If you ask what my plan was,

790
00:37:12,898 --> 00:37:16,318
it was to support everything
that happened in that era.

791
00:37:17,569 --> 00:37:20,155
We had a recipe that worked,

792
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:23,492
which we wanted
to keep improving.

793
00:37:23,742 --> 00:37:25,327
That was it.

794
00:37:26,745 --> 00:37:29,122
Vicente from the start
was very clear with us,

795
00:37:29,206 --> 00:37:30,499
he said we were winners.

796
00:37:30,582 --> 00:37:33,293
He had his ideas but
wouldn't mess with the essence.

797
00:37:33,961 --> 00:37:35,212
The expectation when

798
00:37:35,295 --> 00:37:37,381
a manager comes in like
Vicente del Bosque,

799
00:37:37,464 --> 00:37:39,257
who came from Real Madrid,

800
00:37:39,383 --> 00:37:40,425
everyone thought

801
00:37:40,550 --> 00:37:43,095
the selection
would reflect that.

802
00:37:43,428 --> 00:37:45,514
I couldn't erase
36 years of my life,

803
00:37:45,597 --> 00:37:46,765
with Real Madrid.

804
00:37:46,848 --> 00:37:48,308
To the contrary,
I'm proud.

805
00:37:48,392 --> 00:37:50,435
But we have to have
the best players,

806
00:37:50,519 --> 00:37:52,396
regardless
of where they were born,

807
00:37:52,479 --> 00:37:54,189
what uniform they wore,

808
00:37:54,731 --> 00:37:56,608
we had to set that example.

809
00:37:56,692 --> 00:37:58,318
We couldn't have any doubts.

810
00:37:58,402 --> 00:37:59,945
And to everyone's
disappointment,

811
00:38:00,028 --> 00:38:02,114
he called up more players
from Barça

812
00:38:02,197 --> 00:38:03,865
than any of his predecessors.

813
00:38:06,660 --> 00:38:08,578
I was surprised
when I got called up

814
00:38:08,662 --> 00:38:09,955
for the national team.

815
00:38:10,038 --> 00:38:12,207
I had just joined my club,

816
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:14,292
but I was playing well,

817
00:38:14,376 --> 00:38:15,794
I was getting minutes.

818
00:38:16,253 --> 00:38:18,338
And when the delegate
confirmed it,

819
00:38:18,422 --> 00:38:20,298
that was a very special moment.

820
00:38:20,382 --> 00:38:21,717
I'll always remember that,

821
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,511
and it was also the first cap

822
00:38:24,594 --> 00:38:26,096
for my teammate Gerard.

823
00:38:29,433 --> 00:38:31,435
I was a starter right away,

824
00:38:31,768 --> 00:38:34,104
if things didn't go well,
they could easily say,

825
00:38:34,187 --> 00:38:36,064
well, there have been changes,

826
00:38:36,148 --> 00:38:38,567
after winning Euros,
and it didn't work.

827
00:38:39,359 --> 00:38:42,279
In that way it was hard,
but it was a time in my life

828
00:38:42,362 --> 00:38:43,697
where I was coming off
winning the treble

829
00:38:43,780 --> 00:38:45,323
with Barça in my first year,

830
00:38:45,407 --> 00:38:47,951
so I thought, "Another
challenge, let's face it head on

831
00:38:48,035 --> 00:38:49,494
and I'm sure it will end well."

832
00:38:50,162 --> 00:38:54,332
He had Puyol by his side,
later on he had Sergio Ramos.

833
00:38:56,752 --> 00:38:58,962
We've always
relied heavily on them,

834
00:38:59,046 --> 00:39:02,007
to ensure a good atmosphere
on the team.

835
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:05,927
Piqué and Ramos
are totally different.

836
00:39:06,136 --> 00:39:07,679
One is a rich Catalan,

837
00:39:07,763 --> 00:39:10,474
the other is
an Andalusian street kid.

838
00:39:10,599 --> 00:39:12,392
So that's what
we were talking about.

839
00:39:12,476 --> 00:39:13,977
Who's more handsome,
Piqué or you?

840
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:16,772
We each have our charm.

841
00:39:16,855 --> 00:39:18,690
At least it's good stuff.

842
00:39:22,402 --> 00:39:24,488
We knew
they would try to pit us

843
00:39:24,571 --> 00:39:27,282
as me, from Madrid,
against the Catalans,

844
00:39:27,365 --> 00:39:29,326
and the Catalans,
in this case Piqué,

845
00:39:29,409 --> 00:39:30,952
who was held up

846
00:39:31,036 --> 00:39:33,371
as the flag of Barça
against the Madrid players.

847
00:39:36,041 --> 00:39:37,417
I think that sports
and politics,

848
00:39:37,501 --> 00:39:38,919
even if you try
to separate them,

849
00:39:39,002 --> 00:39:40,378
they're always used.

850
00:39:40,545 --> 00:39:42,672
It's logical, Barça

851
00:39:42,756 --> 00:39:44,674
has always been

852
00:39:44,758 --> 00:39:46,510
very representative
of Catalonia,

853
00:39:46,593 --> 00:39:50,222
while Madrid has been
the image for Spain.

854
00:39:50,305 --> 00:39:52,933
And being part
of one club and the other,

855
00:39:53,016 --> 00:39:54,476
then bringing us together
on the national team,

856
00:39:54,559 --> 00:39:57,437
they always want to
involve you

857
00:39:57,521 --> 00:39:59,397
or use you
in the political environment.

858
00:40:00,607 --> 00:40:03,610
Yes, we had more doubts
as Catalan players,

859
00:40:03,735 --> 00:40:05,278
because we faced more pressure.

860
00:40:05,362 --> 00:40:09,324
There were rumors about
our socks covering the flag.

861
00:40:09,991 --> 00:40:12,410
XAVI AND PUYOL AT CENTER
OF SOCK CONTROVERSY

862
00:40:12,828 --> 00:40:14,955
But it wasn't even
the Spanish flag,

863
00:40:15,038 --> 00:40:16,373
it was the Adidas symbol,

864
00:40:16,581 --> 00:40:20,210
but they reported that
just to create controversy.

865
00:40:22,129 --> 00:40:23,505
I feel patriotic,

866
00:40:23,588 --> 00:40:26,591
and I'm proud to belong
to my country, Spain.

867
00:40:26,675 --> 00:40:28,844
I'm tired of traveling
around the United States,

868
00:40:28,927 --> 00:40:31,596
and I'm tired of seeing
the U.S. flag

869
00:40:32,013 --> 00:40:34,349
over all the houses,

870
00:40:34,474 --> 00:40:36,893
a movie ends and you see
the U.S. flag.

871
00:40:36,977 --> 00:40:39,771
And people,
I think the problem is,

872
00:40:41,106 --> 00:40:44,276
they try to make the flag

873
00:40:44,359 --> 00:40:47,070
into a Franco issue.

874
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,075
The flag was something
we identified,

875
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:54,244
incorrectly I think,
in this country,

876
00:40:54,327 --> 00:40:56,621
we've always linked it
to an ideology.

877
00:40:58,582 --> 00:41:00,500
Spain has an old dispute

878
00:41:00,584 --> 00:41:02,836
with the Spanish flag,
because we have to remember

879
00:41:02,919 --> 00:41:05,130
there was a civil war,
almost a million died.

880
00:41:05,213 --> 00:41:06,798
It fractured the country in two.

881
00:41:07,174 --> 00:41:08,800
On part of the country
carried the flag,

882
00:41:08,884 --> 00:41:10,969
and the other part of the
country used a different flag.

883
00:41:15,557 --> 00:41:16,683
Today,

884
00:41:16,766 --> 00:41:19,644
captive and unarmed
the Red Army

885
00:41:20,312 --> 00:41:22,981
has reached the national troops,

886
00:41:24,024 --> 00:41:26,359
their last military targets.

887
00:41:26,610 --> 00:41:29,279
The war has ended.

888
00:41:30,113 --> 00:41:31,740
When a country has a civil war,

889
00:41:31,823 --> 00:41:34,326
it's not the same as having
a war with another country.

890
00:41:34,409 --> 00:41:37,204
If you're defending against
a German invasion,

891
00:41:37,579 --> 00:41:40,207
from the right, from the left,
communists, not communists,

892
00:41:40,290 --> 00:41:42,751
it's us against them.

893
00:41:42,918 --> 00:41:45,587
But when a country divides,
a civil war,

894
00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:47,964
brothers against brothers,
cousins against cousins

895
00:41:48,048 --> 00:41:49,174
and uncles against uncles,

896
00:41:49,257 --> 00:41:53,553
it takes a long time
to readjust afterward.

897
00:41:53,637 --> 00:41:56,348
It fractures things
within that society.

898
00:41:56,431 --> 00:41:58,350
And it takes a long time
to heal.

899
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,101
That's how it is.

900
00:42:09,611 --> 00:42:11,279
I met Andrés Iniesta

901
00:42:11,363 --> 00:42:14,699
at the sub-17 World Cup
in Trinidad and Tobago.

902
00:42:14,783 --> 00:42:16,952
I said Xavi was
an amazing player,

903
00:42:17,035 --> 00:42:18,745
that I had never seen
anything like that,

904
00:42:18,828 --> 00:42:21,373
and people said, "But there's
someone even better,

905
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,625
his name is Iniesta."

906
00:42:26,836 --> 00:42:30,966
And I met this kid
who was totally normal,

907
00:42:31,383 --> 00:42:32,550
didn't speak much,

908
00:42:32,634 --> 00:42:34,636
very reserved,
incredibly reserved.

909
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:35,804
Andrés the question is,
what do you want

910
00:42:35,887 --> 00:42:37,389
to be when you're older?

911
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:38,974
It's clear, right?

912
00:42:39,057 --> 00:42:40,976
Yes, a soccer player,

913
00:42:41,101 --> 00:42:43,270
with a good career.

914
00:42:44,521 --> 00:42:47,232
Andrés was a person who,

915
00:42:47,315 --> 00:42:49,401
at first, was very introverted,

916
00:42:49,484 --> 00:42:50,819
he kept to himself.

917
00:42:50,944 --> 00:42:52,487
That's what happened to Andrés,

918
00:42:52,570 --> 00:42:55,782
he kept to himself
and didn't express himself.

919
00:42:55,865 --> 00:42:58,076
Until he exploded.

920
00:43:03,248 --> 00:43:04,666
It was
a Champions League game,

921
00:43:04,749 --> 00:43:08,003
I injured my quadriceps,

922
00:43:09,546 --> 00:43:12,340
maybe it was one
of the first that year.

923
00:43:13,049 --> 00:43:14,426
It was a serious injury,

924
00:43:14,509 --> 00:43:16,261
it kept us off the field

925
00:43:16,386 --> 00:43:19,681
for about two months,
without playing.

926
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:21,808
Andrés Iniesta.

927
00:43:21,933 --> 00:43:23,935
Today medical tests
have confirmed

928
00:43:24,019 --> 00:43:25,937
an injury to the inside

929
00:43:26,021 --> 00:43:27,689
of the right leg, which means

930
00:43:27,814 --> 00:43:30,400
six to eight weeks
of recovery.

931
00:43:30,525 --> 00:43:32,235
It's a big loss,

932
00:43:32,319 --> 00:43:36,656
so unless there are
any questions about that,

933
00:43:36,740 --> 00:43:40,869
the rest will be
about our current lineup.

934
00:43:42,537 --> 00:43:44,706
His way of expressing himself
is playing soccer,

935
00:43:44,789 --> 00:43:46,833
when we can't do that,
he gets sad.

936
00:43:46,916 --> 00:43:49,586
Because you can miss out
on the biggest event,

937
00:43:49,669 --> 00:43:51,546
it could be related
to what you like most,

938
00:43:51,629 --> 00:43:53,089
which is the World Cup

939
00:43:53,173 --> 00:43:54,924
and the possibility of being
world champion.

940
00:43:55,008 --> 00:43:57,385
So that anxiety,

941
00:43:57,886 --> 00:43:59,804
when it's on the horizon
and you're not well,

942
00:43:59,888 --> 00:44:01,806
you might not make it,
it's even worse.

943
00:44:01,890 --> 00:44:02,932
It's an injury,

944
00:44:03,099 --> 00:44:06,561
but it's so close
to the World Cup.

945
00:44:06,686 --> 00:44:09,773
Which was all of their dream.

946
00:44:10,565 --> 00:44:12,734
ONE MONTH TO THE WORLD CUP

947
00:44:13,610 --> 00:44:15,779
LIVERPOOL

948
00:44:20,617 --> 00:44:22,869
When I got hurt
against Benfica,

949
00:44:24,621 --> 00:44:26,039
when I got the diagnosis,

950
00:44:26,122 --> 00:44:27,791
all I thought about
was the World Cup.

951
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:31,002
I calculated the time,
I added and subtracted days,

952
00:44:31,294 --> 00:44:33,004
recovery time,
and it didn't add up.

953
00:44:33,088 --> 00:44:36,174
It should have been
eight, nine, ten weeks.

954
00:44:36,257 --> 00:44:37,384
I only had four.

955
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,511
WITHOUT "EL NIÑO" AGAIN

956
00:44:39,594 --> 00:44:41,513
The last thing I remember
before the anesthesia,

957
00:44:41,596 --> 00:44:43,223
was saying, "Doctor, please
don't give me stitches,

958
00:44:43,306 --> 00:44:44,599
if it's broken, take it out,

959
00:44:44,682 --> 00:44:46,351
and if you have to
take it all out, do it."

960
00:44:46,434 --> 00:44:49,187
But in one month
I have to be at the World Cup.

961
00:44:49,270 --> 00:44:51,356
TORRES IN QUIRON CLINIC
IN BARCELONA

962
00:44:52,565 --> 00:44:55,568
We know the risks
of a speedy recovery,

963
00:44:55,652 --> 00:44:57,278
forcing things
for the World Cup,

964
00:44:57,404 --> 00:44:59,656
which is maximum effort
in a short period of time.

965
00:44:59,739 --> 00:45:01,282
Where there are many games,

966
00:45:01,366 --> 00:45:03,576
and it's likely that afterward

967
00:45:03,785 --> 00:45:05,912
you won't be 100%

968
00:45:05,995 --> 00:45:07,205
for a long time.

969
00:45:10,250 --> 00:45:11,960
I risked my future.

970
00:45:12,377 --> 00:45:14,421
But I wanted to be
with my teammates,

971
00:45:14,546 --> 00:45:16,089
I wanted to be World Champion.

972
00:45:16,214 --> 00:45:19,592
So we put in the work,
not knowing if I'd be called up.

973
00:45:27,851 --> 00:45:30,812
A second important
injury to Andrés,

974
00:45:31,479 --> 00:45:33,648
he left the field,
he had injured himself,

975
00:45:33,773 --> 00:45:36,067
he almost started crying
right there in the corner,

976
00:45:36,151 --> 00:45:37,235
when it happened.

977
00:45:37,318 --> 00:45:39,320
When we went
into the locker room,

978
00:45:39,404 --> 00:45:40,655
he felt worse,

979
00:45:40,738 --> 00:45:44,367
he thought,
"I won't be able to recover,

980
00:45:44,451 --> 00:45:46,953
it's too close
to these important dates."

981
00:45:50,415 --> 00:45:52,834
When you have a dream,
a goal to reach,

982
00:45:52,917 --> 00:45:55,712
and on that journey,

983
00:45:55,795 --> 00:45:58,423
things don't go
according to plan,

984
00:45:58,506 --> 00:46:02,385
obviously it's hard to handle,

985
00:46:02,469 --> 00:46:04,512
not just physically
but mentally.

986
00:46:05,096 --> 00:46:08,892
DOUBTFUL: A. INIESTA, TORRES

987
00:46:11,519 --> 00:46:13,980
WORLD CUP 2010 SELECTION

988
00:46:14,355 --> 00:46:15,899
Midfielders:

989
00:46:17,066 --> 00:46:18,401
Fábregas,

990
00:46:21,070 --> 00:46:22,655
Xavi Hernández,

991
00:46:23,114 --> 00:46:24,574
Iniesta.

992
00:46:24,657 --> 00:46:26,618
During my recovery,

993
00:46:26,701 --> 00:46:29,162
I never thought
I won't be ready.

994
00:46:29,245 --> 00:46:31,372
I worked with that dream
of playing in the World Cup.

995
00:46:31,456 --> 00:46:33,958
I risked everything
to be in the World Cup,

996
00:46:34,042 --> 00:46:35,335
and I was going to be there.

997
00:46:35,418 --> 00:46:37,003
Forwards:

998
00:46:38,546 --> 00:46:39,672
David Silva,

999
00:46:41,382 --> 00:46:42,425
Mata.

1000
00:46:42,509 --> 00:46:44,344
I remember the day
of the press conference,

1001
00:46:44,427 --> 00:46:46,179
that was the first day

1002
00:46:46,804 --> 00:46:47,847
I thought, "Yes or no?"

1003
00:46:47,931 --> 00:46:49,265
Pedro.

1004
00:46:52,143 --> 00:46:53,436
Fernando Torres.

1005
00:46:53,686 --> 00:46:55,355
But I made it.

1006
00:46:57,106 --> 00:46:59,817
2010 WORLD CUP SOUTH AFRICA

1007
00:47:03,154 --> 00:47:05,532
This afternoon Africa said
hello to the world.

1008
00:47:05,615 --> 00:47:09,035
And welcomed the largest
soccer party like this.

1009
00:47:11,246 --> 00:47:13,039
Soccer City in Johannesburg

1010
00:47:13,122 --> 00:47:14,749
has been an explosion
of color,

1011
00:47:14,832 --> 00:47:16,292
a spectacle where dance,

1012
00:47:16,376 --> 00:47:18,336
ethnic groups and African music

1013
00:47:18,419 --> 00:47:20,088
have played leading roles.

1014
00:47:20,255 --> 00:47:22,340
Over 1500 people onstage

1015
00:47:22,423 --> 00:47:23,841
paralyzed South Africa

1016
00:47:24,175 --> 00:47:25,718
and the rest of the world.

1017
00:47:30,056 --> 00:47:31,891
When we got to South Africa
we knew

1018
00:47:31,975 --> 00:47:33,893
that we were among
the favorites to win,

1019
00:47:33,977 --> 00:47:35,937
even though
we hadn't won before.

1020
00:47:36,020 --> 00:47:38,398
It's true, being a team
that's never won the World Cup

1021
00:47:38,523 --> 00:47:40,984
coming in as the favorite
or one of the favorites,

1022
00:47:41,067 --> 00:47:42,735
I think it's a lot of pressure.

1023
00:47:42,819 --> 00:47:45,321
And we saw that
in the first match.

1024
00:47:45,405 --> 00:47:47,782
The game is underway.

1025
00:47:47,865 --> 00:47:49,200
Iniesta through to Piqué.

1026
00:47:49,284 --> 00:47:51,202
Piqué dribbles!

1027
00:47:51,286 --> 00:47:53,121
What a block by Benaglio!

1028
00:47:53,204 --> 00:47:55,707
Shoot, Villa!
Villa centers it!

1029
00:47:55,790 --> 00:47:57,709
Villa shoots!

1030
00:47:57,792 --> 00:48:00,086
We shot 20, 25 times,

1031
00:48:00,211 --> 00:48:02,547
they barely knock on our door,
and off a long ball

1032
00:48:02,630 --> 00:48:04,132
they score.

1033
00:48:04,549 --> 00:48:07,677
Wow! Goal!

1034
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,555
Goal Switzerland!

1035
00:48:10,638 --> 00:48:15,435
Monumental error
by Spain's defense!

1036
00:48:15,518 --> 00:48:17,729
What a letdown

1037
00:48:17,812 --> 00:48:19,606
for the Spanish team

1038
00:48:19,689 --> 00:48:21,274
out on the field.

1039
00:48:25,069 --> 00:48:27,322
Deception and defeat
in the first game

1040
00:48:27,405 --> 00:48:29,449
for the European champs
in the World Cup,

1041
00:48:29,532 --> 00:48:32,368
being favorites
hasn't gone well for Spain.

1042
00:48:32,452 --> 00:48:33,995
After losing to Switzerland,

1043
00:48:34,078 --> 00:48:36,164
the press gets pessimistic,

1044
00:48:36,247 --> 00:48:37,790
"They're going to lose again,

1045
00:48:37,874 --> 00:48:40,376
we're the best again
but we can never win."

1046
00:48:40,460 --> 00:48:42,837
LA ROJA AT THEIR WORST AGAINST
SWISS, WHO SLOWED THEIR FLOW

1047
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,674
SAME OLD SPAIN

1048
00:48:48,801 --> 00:48:52,138
The first match stressed us out
for almost the whole World Cup.

1049
00:48:54,891 --> 00:48:58,061
That day with the error,
it was a very tough day.

1050
00:48:58,144 --> 00:49:00,313
We were all worried.

1051
00:49:02,190 --> 00:49:03,941
I remember the trip
to the pitch,

1052
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:05,526
it was like a funeral.

1053
00:49:07,362 --> 00:49:10,865
We're talking about a team
that before games usually

1054
00:49:10,948 --> 00:49:14,285
played loud music
you couldn't avoid.

1055
00:49:15,370 --> 00:49:19,332
But that day they were silent.

1056
00:49:21,668 --> 00:49:23,753
SPAIN-HONDURAS
GROUP STAGE

1057
00:49:25,213 --> 00:49:27,340
Suazo!
It looks dangerous.

1058
00:49:29,300 --> 00:49:31,344
This could be it.
Penalty!

1059
00:49:31,427 --> 00:49:33,846
-He got him.
-He got him.

1060
00:49:34,597 --> 00:49:36,474
And...miss!

1061
00:49:36,557 --> 00:49:38,726
Damn!

1062
00:49:38,810 --> 00:49:41,396
We played much worse
than against Switzerland.

1063
00:49:41,479 --> 00:49:43,523
SPAIN 2 - 0 HONDURAS

1064
00:49:43,606 --> 00:49:45,191
I remember
going in the locker room,

1065
00:49:45,274 --> 00:49:46,651
saying, "Damn, we won,

1066
00:49:46,734 --> 00:49:48,903
but if we play like that
against Chile

1067
00:49:49,070 --> 00:49:51,406
we'll be out."

1068
00:49:51,489 --> 00:49:53,366
SPAIN-CHILE
GROUP STAGE

1069
00:49:54,283 --> 00:49:55,535
A good through ball for Torres.

1070
00:49:55,618 --> 00:49:57,412
Torres runs, Bravo comes out!

1071
00:49:57,620 --> 00:49:58,996
-Bravo is fast.
-The shot!

1072
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,916
Villa shoots!
Goal, goal, goal, goal!

1073
00:50:01,999 --> 00:50:04,168
Goal! Goal!

1074
00:50:04,252 --> 00:50:05,670
What a beauty!

1075
00:50:06,337 --> 00:50:07,964
Sánchez plays it
for Millar,

1076
00:50:08,047 --> 00:50:09,966
in the semi-circle
Millar shoots, goal.

1077
00:50:10,049 --> 00:50:11,843
-Oh my.
-What a disaster.

1078
00:50:13,803 --> 00:50:16,514
Let's go, let's go!
You can make it!

1079
00:50:16,597 --> 00:50:18,766
Torres up and over!

1080
00:50:18,850 --> 00:50:20,518
At that time,
my head was saying,

1081
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,978
"Don't leave anything
on the field,

1082
00:50:22,061 --> 00:50:23,521
because you'll regret it."

1083
00:50:24,605 --> 00:50:26,023
Everything it took to get there,

1084
00:50:26,107 --> 00:50:27,650
give it all, if it's 20 minutes,
play 20 minutes.

1085
00:50:27,775 --> 00:50:30,403
Whatever your knees will give.

1086
00:50:30,611 --> 00:50:31,988
If it breaks again, it breaks.

1087
00:50:32,113 --> 00:50:35,074
But if I was out there,
I had to play to the end.

1088
00:50:35,575 --> 00:50:36,659
And that's what happened.

1089
00:50:36,743 --> 00:50:38,244
Torres gets by Ponce,

1090
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,454
Torres still up.

1091
00:50:39,537 --> 00:50:40,830
Torres in the box!

1092
00:50:40,913 --> 00:50:43,624
Sanchez helps
to close it off!

1093
00:50:43,875 --> 00:50:45,084
You feel it again,

1094
00:50:45,168 --> 00:50:47,545
I had liquid in my knee,
I couldn't bend it.

1095
00:50:50,673 --> 00:50:52,133
Playing two games
in three days,

1096
00:50:52,216 --> 00:50:55,219
after two operations
in three months

1097
00:50:55,303 --> 00:50:56,763
it complicates things.

1098
00:50:57,138 --> 00:50:59,390
SPAIN 2 - 1 CHILE

1099
00:51:00,016 --> 00:51:01,142
Come on, Iker!

1100
00:51:03,102 --> 00:51:04,896
What I miss most
about the World Cup,

1101
00:51:04,979 --> 00:51:07,148
is not having memories
with my teammates.

1102
00:51:07,231 --> 00:51:10,026
My memories from the World Cup
are being with Raúl Martínez

1103
00:51:10,109 --> 00:51:12,153
and Dr. Cota all day.

1104
00:51:15,114 --> 00:51:18,826
I've been asked
that question a lot,

1105
00:51:19,577 --> 00:51:20,787
was it worth it?

1106
00:51:24,707 --> 00:51:27,084
SPAIN-PORTUGAL
ROUND OF 16

1107
00:51:27,502 --> 00:51:29,921
In the round of 16, Portugal.

1108
00:51:30,588 --> 00:51:32,006
Portugal had a great team.

1109
00:51:34,217 --> 00:51:36,135
Obviously
we had to control Cristiano,

1110
00:51:36,219 --> 00:51:38,137
the long shots,
the fouls.

1111
00:51:39,972 --> 00:51:44,352
But we played our way
as a group, as a family.

1112
00:51:44,435 --> 00:51:47,104
You had that feeling that
even though they had Cristiano,

1113
00:51:47,188 --> 00:51:49,065
we were the better team.

1114
00:51:49,857 --> 00:51:51,859
And Xavi's pass goes long!

1115
00:51:52,902 --> 00:51:55,404
Cristiano, miss!

1116
00:51:55,488 --> 00:51:57,532
They had an amazing player,

1117
00:51:57,615 --> 00:51:59,617
and we had
an amazing team.

1118
00:52:01,577 --> 00:52:02,829
What a pass for Xavi.

1119
00:52:02,912 --> 00:52:04,205
-Villa shoots!
-Let's go!

1120
00:52:04,288 --> 00:52:06,374
He shoots! Goal, goal, goal!

1121
00:52:06,457 --> 00:52:09,126
Goal!

1122
00:52:09,210 --> 00:52:10,837
In the game against Portugal,

1123
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,130
it was a message
that Spain is here,

1124
00:52:13,214 --> 00:52:15,216
they don't have a star,
but they have a team.

1125
00:52:17,927 --> 00:52:19,262
SPAIN 1 - 0 PORTUGAL

1126
00:52:19,345 --> 00:52:22,390
We organized a team
in which each player,

1127
00:52:22,473 --> 00:52:24,308
we were all stars
for our clubs,

1128
00:52:24,433 --> 00:52:26,060
but on the national team
we understood

1129
00:52:26,143 --> 00:52:27,520
it was a different situation.

1130
00:52:30,565 --> 00:52:32,733
No matter how well
I played with Liverpool,

1131
00:52:32,817 --> 00:52:35,903
I knew that the poster boy,
in quotes, was Iker,

1132
00:52:35,987 --> 00:52:37,530
there was no doubt.

1133
00:52:37,613 --> 00:52:39,448
And I accepted my role
from the beginning.

1134
00:52:40,283 --> 00:52:41,492
I've always said
riding the bench

1135
00:52:41,576 --> 00:52:42,952
is much harder
than being on the pitch.

1136
00:52:43,035 --> 00:52:45,079
The nerves are 100 times worse,

1137
00:52:45,288 --> 00:52:46,873
but if you really care...

1138
00:52:46,956 --> 00:52:49,208
SPAIN-PARAGUAY
QUARTERFINALS

1139
00:52:53,713 --> 00:52:58,259
Pepe is a guy who always
prepares for his matches.

1140
00:52:58,384 --> 00:53:01,053
He stands with me,
I'm changing, and he talks.

1141
00:53:01,637 --> 00:53:02,763
Two months earlier,

1142
00:53:02,847 --> 00:53:04,765
Cardozo scored
two PKs on me,

1143
00:53:04,891 --> 00:53:06,225
in the same spot.

1144
00:53:06,392 --> 00:53:08,811
His safety net,
in a tense match,

1145
00:53:09,020 --> 00:53:10,563
in a close match,

1146
00:53:10,646 --> 00:53:12,523
I think he'll shoot there.

1147
00:53:16,527 --> 00:53:17,695
I was like, what do I do?

1148
00:53:17,778 --> 00:53:20,907
Do I dive right
and not listen to Pepe,

1149
00:53:20,990 --> 00:53:22,575
what do I do? What do I think?

1150
00:53:26,412 --> 00:53:28,080
He's going to shoot
to my left like Pepe said.

1151
00:53:35,338 --> 00:53:37,131
t was a gesture that speaks
volumes, that I honor,

1152
00:53:37,214 --> 00:53:39,008
he pointed to me and...

1153
00:53:39,258 --> 00:53:41,886
I felt great in that moment.

1154
00:53:42,011 --> 00:53:46,098
Because I felt like
I had helped a little.

1155
00:53:46,182 --> 00:53:48,225
For us on the bench,
it was hard.

1156
00:53:50,019 --> 00:53:51,646
SPAIN 1 - 0 PARAGUAY

1157
00:53:54,231 --> 00:53:55,524
How does it feel
to stop a penalty shot

1158
00:53:55,608 --> 00:53:56,776
in a game like this?

1159
00:53:56,859 --> 00:53:58,903
I'm happy with
our teamwork, especially

1160
00:53:58,986 --> 00:54:01,238
not just those on the pitch
but those off the pitch.

1161
00:54:01,322 --> 00:54:04,283
For all the players on the bench
who might play fewer minutes.

1162
00:54:04,367 --> 00:54:06,452
And remembering Pepe Reina,
who is phenomenal,

1163
00:54:06,535 --> 00:54:08,871
and he told me
where to go,

1164
00:54:09,121 --> 00:54:11,916
so I may have stopped it,
but my teammate did too.

1165
00:54:12,166 --> 00:54:15,044
We couldn't have stars,
that wasn't allowed.

1166
00:54:15,127 --> 00:54:17,088
Each one of us had to accept
our role.

1167
00:54:17,171 --> 00:54:20,132
Whether starter or sub,
the team would work.

1168
00:54:20,216 --> 00:54:23,386
If the team worked,
we would all have our moment.

1169
00:54:25,513 --> 00:54:27,181
"El Guaje" is here, right?

1170
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,141
And four of them here.

1171
00:54:29,225 --> 00:54:30,810
So these two...

1172
00:54:32,186 --> 00:54:34,188
have to come quick,
to stop them.

1173
00:54:34,271 --> 00:54:35,314
The play with Puyi

1174
00:54:35,398 --> 00:54:37,358
in the World Cup semifinal
against Germany,

1175
00:54:37,441 --> 00:54:39,360
he had been cooking it up
for a while.

1176
00:54:39,485 --> 00:54:42,863
We were analyzing Germany

1177
00:54:42,947 --> 00:54:45,491
and we saw strategic plays.

1178
00:54:45,783 --> 00:54:48,035
And when we saw
how Germany defends,

1179
00:54:48,119 --> 00:54:49,370
using a zone defense,

1180
00:54:49,453 --> 00:54:52,665
I remembered a play
we did with Barcelona.

1181
00:54:52,790 --> 00:54:54,667
We talked about it
before the game.

1182
00:54:54,750 --> 00:54:57,420
If you get me the ball,
they'll play zone, etc.

1183
00:54:57,503 --> 00:54:59,922
SPAIN-GERMANY
SEMIFINAL

1184
00:55:07,805 --> 00:55:10,599
So in those first corner kicks,

1185
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,353
Xavi starts
taking them short.

1186
00:55:14,437 --> 00:55:16,063
I didn't understand.

1187
00:55:16,605 --> 00:55:19,525
And he was ripping me
during a dead ball,

1188
00:55:19,608 --> 00:55:21,277
saying, "Can't you see, máquina?

1189
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:22,528
Can't you see?

1190
00:55:22,611 --> 00:55:24,697
It's time to put
the ball in the penalty area."

1191
00:55:24,780 --> 00:55:26,907
Put it on the penalty dot
and mark my words,

1192
00:55:26,991 --> 00:55:30,619
I'll score or a German player
will be in their goal.

1193
00:55:30,703 --> 00:55:32,121
But I'll give it everything.

1194
00:55:34,957 --> 00:55:36,709
First corner
of the second half,

1195
00:55:36,792 --> 00:55:38,127
I'll put it on the penalty dot.

1196
00:55:38,210 --> 00:55:41,213
To shut him up,
he was messing with me.

1197
00:55:41,297 --> 00:55:43,007
And that's what we did.

1198
00:55:43,090 --> 00:55:46,093
Xavi kicks it!

1199
00:55:49,597 --> 00:55:51,599
Goal!

1200
00:55:51,682 --> 00:55:53,434
Goal Puyol!

1201
00:55:53,517 --> 00:55:55,895
Goal! What a goal!

1202
00:55:55,978 --> 00:55:57,229
Goal Puyol!

1203
00:55:57,354 --> 00:55:59,482
Puyol we love you!

1204
00:55:59,565 --> 00:56:01,025
-Goal!
-Goal Puyol!

1205
00:56:01,108 --> 00:56:03,027
-Goal Puyol!
-Amazing goal.

1206
00:56:03,235 --> 00:56:04,570
Let's go!

1207
00:56:04,695 --> 00:56:06,322
Nice, nice.

1208
00:56:27,384 --> 00:56:29,428
The soccer world is in shock

1209
00:56:29,512 --> 00:56:31,555
after the death
of Daniel Jarque.

1210
00:56:33,140 --> 00:56:35,684
The death of Dani Jarque
was a bombshell

1211
00:56:35,768 --> 00:56:36,852
with great effect.

1212
00:56:36,977 --> 00:56:40,189
He was a teammate
since they were young,

1213
00:56:40,272 --> 00:56:42,483
they played together
on the national team.

1214
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,693
They had
an important friendship.

1215
00:56:44,819 --> 00:56:46,028
SOCCER MOURNS FOR JARQUE

1216
00:56:46,570 --> 00:56:48,030
When you hear about that,

1217
00:56:48,114 --> 00:56:50,616
first, you don't believe it.

1218
00:56:50,908 --> 00:56:52,034
Then,

1219
00:56:52,326 --> 00:56:55,704
feelings of pain of course.

1220
00:56:58,999 --> 00:57:00,793
We were going through

1221
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,837
a very complicated time.

1222
00:57:02,962 --> 00:57:04,130
And without a doubt,

1223
00:57:04,839 --> 00:57:09,677
that moment
really got to me...

1224
00:57:10,010 --> 00:57:11,178
So,

1225
00:57:11,262 --> 00:57:15,057
I got even more down
than I was.

1226
00:57:16,225 --> 00:57:17,852
A. INIESTA

1227
00:57:18,394 --> 00:57:20,813
The word depression appeared,

1228
00:57:20,896 --> 00:57:23,774
in a closed circle.

1229
00:57:23,899 --> 00:57:27,444
Medically, with the club,
with family.

1230
00:57:31,198 --> 00:57:32,491
He was thin,

1231
00:57:32,575 --> 00:57:34,243
he didn't have much feeling,

1232
00:57:34,326 --> 00:57:36,996
you worked his muscles
and they didn't improve.

1233
00:57:37,413 --> 00:57:40,499
A laziness
that wasn't normal for him.

1234
00:57:44,587 --> 00:57:48,966
We knew we had to look for
a professional solution,

1235
00:57:49,091 --> 00:57:50,968
turn to psychology.

1236
00:57:51,510 --> 00:57:53,095
At that moment no one,

1237
00:57:53,429 --> 00:57:56,557
or at least I didn't know
that it went deeper,

1238
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,143
that it wasn't just an injury.

1239
00:57:59,226 --> 00:58:01,979
There was a mental aspect.

1240
00:58:06,859 --> 00:58:08,903
If we explain
what's going on,

1241
00:58:08,986 --> 00:58:10,279
that it's depression,

1242
00:58:10,404 --> 00:58:13,115
headlines will show up
in the papers,

1243
00:58:13,199 --> 00:58:17,870
saying, "Andrés Iniesta
Suffers Depression."

1244
00:58:22,625 --> 00:58:24,543
Talking about circumstances

1245
00:58:24,627 --> 00:58:26,378
like depression,
this stuff,

1246
00:58:26,545 --> 00:58:29,131
it's really serious stuff.

1247
00:58:31,342 --> 00:58:33,260
In elite sports,

1248
00:58:33,552 --> 00:58:36,472
we protect ourselves,
we don't show weakness,

1249
00:58:36,555 --> 00:58:38,682
because only eleven can play.

1250
00:58:38,766 --> 00:58:39,892
If it's not you,

1251
00:58:39,975 --> 00:58:42,728
someone else
will take your spot.

1252
00:58:42,811 --> 00:58:46,232
Going to the World Cup
was very important for Andrés,

1253
00:58:46,315 --> 00:58:49,276
it's a childhood dream.

1254
00:58:58,369 --> 00:59:00,496
The World Cup final,

1255
00:59:00,579 --> 00:59:01,872
featuring Spain!

1256
00:59:01,956 --> 00:59:03,332
Busquets, Xavi Alonso,

1257
00:59:03,415 --> 00:59:05,209
Xavi Hernández
in midfield,

1258
00:59:05,292 --> 00:59:07,795
Iniesta, Pedro
and "El Guaje" Villa.

1259
00:59:07,878 --> 00:59:09,463
You can hear the horns,

1260
00:59:09,546 --> 00:59:11,590
8:30,
time to start the game!

1261
00:59:11,674 --> 00:59:14,969
I think the plan
was to be true to our style.

1262
00:59:15,052 --> 00:59:17,596
We knew that
if we had possession,

1263
00:59:18,013 --> 00:59:20,849
and we moved the ball quickly,
they would suffer.

1264
00:59:22,309 --> 00:59:23,936
But we found ourselves

1265
00:59:24,061 --> 00:59:26,563
in a very physical game,
lots of fouling,

1266
00:59:26,647 --> 00:59:29,066
and I think that confused us,

1267
00:59:29,149 --> 00:59:30,276
it didn't help us.

1268
00:59:31,819 --> 00:59:33,821
I thought they would
attack more,

1269
00:59:33,904 --> 00:59:35,364
try to steal the ball
from us,

1270
00:59:35,447 --> 00:59:36,532
but it was the opposite.

1271
00:59:36,615 --> 00:59:38,284
They designed a war,

1272
00:59:38,367 --> 00:59:40,494
a war of kicks,
interruptions,

1273
00:59:40,577 --> 00:59:41,662
provocations.

1274
00:59:42,454 --> 00:59:44,248
They wanted to unhinge us.

1275
00:59:57,011 --> 00:59:59,305
Iniesta with the ball,
good movement by Iniesta.

1276
00:59:59,388 --> 01:00:01,223
Watch Iniesta.
Iniesta.

1277
01:00:01,348 --> 01:00:02,808
-Nice!
-Let's go!

1278
01:00:02,891 --> 01:00:05,060
Come on, run!

1279
01:00:05,185 --> 01:00:06,478
We need you, Iniesta.

1280
01:00:06,562 --> 01:00:07,730
Iniesta is active.

1281
01:00:07,813 --> 01:00:09,940
Touchline,
penalty!

1282
01:00:10,024 --> 01:00:12,484
That year
was a complicated time.

1283
01:00:12,568 --> 01:00:13,944
A tough period.

1284
01:00:14,987 --> 01:00:17,781
Some injuries piled up,

1285
01:00:17,948 --> 01:00:19,325
depression and anxiety.

1286
01:00:19,408 --> 01:00:20,451
Navas with it,

1287
01:00:20,534 --> 01:00:22,745
Navas going forward, but look
how Sneijder follows him,

1288
01:00:22,828 --> 01:00:23,829
hold on, Navas!

1289
01:00:23,912 --> 01:00:26,957
But I learned that
within each of us

1290
01:00:27,041 --> 01:00:29,668
is that strength

1291
01:00:29,752 --> 01:00:31,587
to get up again,

1292
01:00:31,670 --> 01:00:34,631
even if you fall 200,000 times.

1293
01:00:35,507 --> 01:00:38,218
Ball for Iniesta,
Iniesta the heel kick,

1294
01:00:38,344 --> 01:00:40,679
pass to Fábregas,
Fábregas to Navas,

1295
01:00:40,804 --> 01:00:41,930
Navas to Torres.

1296
01:00:42,056 --> 01:00:44,016
And that individually

1297
01:00:44,099 --> 01:00:46,518
we aren't much,

1298
01:00:46,852 --> 01:00:50,647
and we need to be surrounded
by people who love us.

1299
01:00:50,981 --> 01:00:53,192
The cross,
Torres with the cross.

1300
01:00:55,027 --> 01:00:56,320
Look at Fábregas!

1301
01:00:56,403 --> 01:00:58,864
Fábregas to Iniesta,
Iniesta shoots!

1302
01:00:58,947 --> 01:01:01,658
Goal!

1303
01:01:01,742 --> 01:01:05,245
Goal! Goal!

1304
01:01:05,329 --> 01:01:08,832
Goal!

1305
01:01:08,916 --> 01:01:12,419
Goal, goal, goal, goal!

1306
01:01:12,503 --> 01:01:15,964
Goal, goal, goal!

1307
01:01:16,048 --> 01:01:17,174
Andrés Iniesta!

1308
01:01:17,257 --> 01:01:21,929
Goal

1309
01:01:22,012 --> 01:01:24,098
for Spain!

1310
01:01:24,181 --> 01:01:26,767
Goal

1311
01:01:26,850 --> 01:01:28,685
Andrés Iniesta!

1312
01:01:28,769 --> 01:01:32,356
Spain one, Netherlands zero!

1313
01:01:32,481 --> 01:01:33,941
Thank you, guys!

1314
01:01:36,902 --> 01:01:38,821
Taking off my shirt

1315
01:01:38,904 --> 01:01:41,281
was like trying to pay homage,

1316
01:01:41,365 --> 01:01:43,409
in such a special moment.

1317
01:01:45,619 --> 01:01:49,081
When he showed
the shirt with Dani Jarque,

1318
01:01:49,164 --> 01:01:52,084
that shows Andrés's humanity.

1319
01:02:00,592 --> 01:02:02,636
World champions!

1320
01:02:02,719 --> 01:02:04,138
World champions!

1321
01:02:04,221 --> 01:02:05,305
SPAIN 1 - 0 NETHERLANDS

1322
01:02:05,389 --> 01:02:07,933
If anyone deserved to score
that goal, its was Andrés.

1323
01:02:09,393 --> 01:02:11,103
Maybe the person
who best represented

1324
01:02:11,186 --> 01:02:12,980
what we wanted to show
with that team,

1325
01:02:13,063 --> 01:02:14,356
the humility, the work,

1326
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:16,275
overcoming negative situations

1327
01:02:16,358 --> 01:02:18,193
with normality and humility.

1328
01:02:18,277 --> 01:02:21,029
I think that embodied the team
for a long time.

1329
01:02:29,955 --> 01:02:32,416
I had a very clear dream,
and I followed it,

1330
01:02:32,499 --> 01:02:33,667
I assumed the risks.

1331
01:02:33,750 --> 01:02:35,210
And obviously
it brought the best thing

1332
01:02:35,294 --> 01:02:36,920
a soccer player can ask for,

1333
01:02:37,004 --> 01:02:39,631
holding the World Cup.

1334
01:02:43,594 --> 01:02:46,597
You saw Pelé, Dunga,
Taus, Maradona,

1335
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:48,974
and then being up there
on the podium

1336
01:02:49,057 --> 01:02:50,476
and getting the world cup,

1337
01:02:50,559 --> 01:02:51,810
it's unthinkable.

1338
01:02:57,107 --> 01:02:58,525
I get goosebumps

1339
01:02:58,650 --> 01:03:00,194
thinking
that we're world champs.

1340
01:03:00,277 --> 01:03:01,778
And no one can take that away.

1341
01:03:34,770 --> 01:03:37,689
Having the whole country happy,
excited,

1342
01:03:37,856 --> 01:03:40,734
for me, with the reason

1343
01:03:40,817 --> 01:03:44,363
being that we did this,
it's amazing.

1344
01:03:48,408 --> 01:03:50,953
It was so hard
to unite the country

1345
01:03:51,036 --> 01:03:53,539
around something,
like winning the World Cup.

1346
01:03:55,749 --> 01:03:57,334
They celebrated in Euzkadi,

1347
01:03:57,417 --> 01:03:58,710
they celebrated in Catalonia,

1348
01:03:59,044 --> 01:04:00,546
in Andalusia and Galicia.

1349
01:04:02,798 --> 01:04:04,174
There was such joy,

1350
01:04:04,883 --> 01:04:07,094
we went out to the streets
with flags,

1351
01:04:07,177 --> 01:04:09,805
in Bilbao, in Catalonia
and nothing happened.

1352
01:04:10,514 --> 01:04:12,182
I found it so exciting.

1353
01:04:13,308 --> 01:04:14,601
A glorious day

1354
01:04:14,685 --> 01:04:17,020
in the history
not only of Spanish soccer,

1355
01:04:17,104 --> 01:04:18,605
but in Spain's history.

1356
01:04:20,107 --> 01:04:22,359
The flag played the role

1357
01:04:22,442 --> 01:04:23,860
that a flag should play,

1358
01:04:23,986 --> 01:04:26,822
of representing a collective,

1359
01:04:26,905 --> 01:04:28,490
and it left all of us
with that taste

1360
01:04:28,574 --> 01:04:30,284
of what things could be like.

1361
01:04:30,576 --> 01:04:32,286
It wasn't just
a symbol,

1362
01:04:32,411 --> 01:04:34,705
but still just a symbol.

1363
01:04:34,871 --> 01:04:36,790
A shared symbol.

1364
01:04:40,168 --> 01:04:42,879
In that moment
the leftists said,

1365
01:04:42,963 --> 01:04:45,424
"Damn, if I'm singing,
that makes me Spanish,"

1366
01:04:45,507 --> 01:04:47,843
or "I put on
the national team uniform."

1367
01:04:47,926 --> 01:04:50,596
This belongs to all of us.
It's for all of us.

1368
01:04:50,679 --> 01:04:53,682
And for a time,
it belonged to everyone.

1369
01:04:55,851 --> 01:04:58,729
And we could say,
without any connotation,

1370
01:04:58,812 --> 01:05:00,772
without criticism,

1371
01:05:00,856 --> 01:05:03,609
that, long live the Spanish team

1372
01:05:03,692 --> 01:05:04,943
and long live Spain.

1373
01:05:05,027 --> 01:05:06,862
Long live the Spanish team,

1374
01:05:06,945 --> 01:05:09,406
it's the representation
of my country.

1375
01:05:14,786 --> 01:05:20,000
It was so strange to see
everyone united and happy.

1376
01:05:20,792 --> 01:05:22,502
It was so nice.

1377
01:05:22,586 --> 01:05:23,795
It was so nice.

1378
01:05:31,345 --> 01:05:33,597
We had made history
for our country,

1379
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,308
I think we knew
that we could make history,

1380
01:05:36,391 --> 01:05:38,602
not just for our country,
but for soccer in general.

1381
01:05:38,685 --> 01:05:41,688
And we started to think,

1382
01:05:41,772 --> 01:05:43,315
no one's won three in a row.

1383
01:05:43,607 --> 01:05:45,734
PELE'S BRAZIL

1384
01:05:45,817 --> 01:05:49,321
BECKENBAUER'S GERMANY

1385
01:05:49,446 --> 01:05:52,407
ZIDANE'S FRANCE

1386
01:05:52,574 --> 01:05:57,579
WON TWO INTERNATIONAL
TOURNAMENTS IN A ROW

1387
01:05:58,038 --> 01:06:02,876
NO TEAM HAD EVER WON
THREE TITLES IN A ROW

1388
01:06:02,959 --> 01:06:05,087
We had a unique
opportunity to do something

1389
01:06:05,170 --> 01:06:06,755
that no team had ever done.

1390
01:06:06,838 --> 01:06:08,632
Win three tournaments in a row,

1391
01:06:09,049 --> 01:06:13,220
the Euros, the World Cup,
and Euros again in 2012.

1392
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:15,013
It was a good challenge.

1393
01:06:15,097 --> 01:06:18,517
Also for us to go down
in history in that way,

1394
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,018
it was good motivation.

1395
01:06:23,105 --> 01:06:25,190
The problem is it was
through rose-colored glasses,

1396
01:06:25,273 --> 01:06:27,609
they won, the players
were small and good.

1397
01:06:27,693 --> 01:06:28,777
The players from Madrid

1398
01:06:28,860 --> 01:06:30,028
and Barça got along
amazingly.

1399
01:06:30,112 --> 01:06:31,863
And that's when
this guy shows up

1400
01:06:32,114 --> 01:06:34,658
who fills the Spanish team

1401
01:06:34,741 --> 01:06:36,326
with shit.

1402
01:06:42,833 --> 01:06:44,626
At the time
it was a slap in the face,

1403
01:06:44,710 --> 01:06:48,046
having Mourinho
come into our lives,

1404
01:06:48,130 --> 01:06:49,381
because we had a goal,

1405
01:06:49,464 --> 01:06:51,591
to win Euros 2012,

1406
01:06:51,675 --> 01:06:54,469
which would make us
the best team in history,

1407
01:06:54,553 --> 01:06:57,305
and he was a big stone
blocking our path,

1408
01:06:57,389 --> 01:06:58,557
a huge boulder.

1409
01:06:59,933 --> 01:07:02,644
The story of Mourinho coming in
and changing the team,

1410
01:07:02,728 --> 01:07:05,105
I don't fully agree that
it was him who changed it.

1411
01:07:05,188 --> 01:07:07,983
The team's history,
we changed it ourselves.

1412
01:07:13,655 --> 01:07:15,949
At that time Barcelona
was winning everything,

1413
01:07:16,032 --> 01:07:17,993
Madrid couldn't stand

1414
01:07:18,076 --> 01:07:21,705
Barcelona monopolizing
national titles,

1415
01:07:21,788 --> 01:07:23,915
even European titles.

1416
01:07:24,708 --> 01:07:26,418
So Madrid flexes

1417
01:07:26,501 --> 01:07:29,921
with Barça's kryptonite.

1418
01:07:30,046 --> 01:07:32,966
MOU, YOU'VE EARNED IT

1419
01:07:33,049 --> 01:07:35,010
Mou's main message

1420
01:07:35,594 --> 01:07:37,095
was to do whatever it took
to win.

1421
01:07:37,179 --> 01:07:40,682
F.C. BARCELONA - REAL MADRID
LA LIGA 2010-2011

1422
01:07:40,766 --> 01:07:42,601
18 MONTHS TO EUROS

1423
01:07:43,059 --> 01:07:46,271
Our first game against
Mourinho's Madrid

1424
01:07:46,354 --> 01:07:48,857
was the most we've
outclassed them

1425
01:07:49,107 --> 01:07:52,277
in a Barça-Madrid game
that I can remember.

1426
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:54,571
There goes Iniesta,
Iniesta with Ramos.

1427
01:07:54,654 --> 01:07:55,781
Iniesta shoots!

1428
01:07:55,864 --> 01:07:58,325
The ball's on the line!
Xavi, goal, goal, goal!

1429
01:07:58,408 --> 01:08:00,327
It's true, that day
everything came together,

1430
01:08:00,410 --> 01:08:03,872
the result, the possession
by Barcelona,

1431
01:08:03,955 --> 01:08:05,665
our inability to steal the ball.

1432
01:08:05,749 --> 01:08:07,375
Everything accumulated.

1433
01:08:07,459 --> 01:08:11,004
Villa shoots, goal!

1434
01:08:11,087 --> 01:08:15,133
Goal David Villa!

1435
01:08:15,217 --> 01:08:17,511
It was the worst feeling
I've had on the pitch,

1436
01:08:17,594 --> 01:08:18,678
of feeling inferior.

1437
01:08:18,762 --> 01:08:20,597
Because we came in with
expectations of competing

1438
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:21,890
and we didn't.

1439
01:08:23,517 --> 01:08:26,895
It was hard, very hard,
and I suffered.

1440
01:08:33,819 --> 01:08:36,404
THE 5-0 PARTY

1441
01:08:36,530 --> 01:08:40,200
Piqué's five to Mourinho
poured salt in the wound.

1442
01:08:43,912 --> 01:08:47,123
It was also the case, I don't
know if it's happened before,

1443
01:08:47,207 --> 01:08:51,294
we had four derbies
in like 25 days.

1444
01:08:55,131 --> 01:08:56,675
We played league,

1445
01:08:56,758 --> 01:08:58,218
Copa del Rey
and Champions League.

1446
01:08:58,301 --> 01:08:59,553
They were for titles.

1447
01:08:59,636 --> 01:09:01,930
So it's normal
that the intensity,

1448
01:09:02,013 --> 01:09:05,141
the nerves,
everything, increase.

1449
01:09:07,644 --> 01:09:10,730
There's this tension
in the derbies,

1450
01:09:10,814 --> 01:09:12,858
that I had never seen before.

1451
01:09:13,108 --> 01:09:15,652
Every Barça-Madrid game
in this country

1452
01:09:15,735 --> 01:09:17,404
became a mini war.

1453
01:09:17,487 --> 01:09:21,992
REAL MADRID - F.C. BARCELONA
LA LIGA 2010-2011

1454
01:09:23,201 --> 01:09:25,704
14 MONTHS TO EUROS

1455
01:09:25,787 --> 01:09:28,081
The next step for Madrid
with Mourinho

1456
01:09:28,164 --> 01:09:29,332
was competing

1457
01:09:29,416 --> 01:09:31,751
like the Netherlands
in the final against Spain.

1458
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:35,297
A physical battle,

1459
01:09:35,422 --> 01:09:38,508
with interruptions,
fouls, arguing.

1460
01:09:40,093 --> 01:09:42,721
We talked to them on the pitch,
"Hey, what are you doing?"

1461
01:09:42,804 --> 01:09:44,639
Like they were possessed.

1462
01:09:48,393 --> 01:09:52,522
Not at all, for me we were
just being more aggressive,

1463
01:09:52,606 --> 01:09:55,984
we were intense in our play,
because that's how we played.

1464
01:09:59,946 --> 01:10:01,781
How could a club like Madrid

1465
01:10:01,865 --> 01:10:04,451
allow a manager
with those tactics?

1466
01:10:06,494 --> 01:10:08,496
Soccer is a sport of risks,

1467
01:10:08,580 --> 01:10:10,624
you're at your limit
with high RPMs,

1468
01:10:10,707 --> 01:10:12,042
and sometimes
you come in late,

1469
01:10:12,167 --> 01:10:13,668
you kick someone,
someone kicks you.

1470
01:10:13,752 --> 01:10:15,545
I've seen plenty of kicks
by Barça players,

1471
01:10:15,629 --> 01:10:18,548
but it was like
the only ones kicking

1472
01:10:18,632 --> 01:10:20,091
were us.

1473
01:10:21,426 --> 01:10:24,971
That excessive arguing
with the refs,

1474
01:10:25,555 --> 01:10:26,848
no one likes that.

1475
01:10:31,603 --> 01:10:34,481
One week later we had
the Copa del Rey final.

1476
01:10:34,689 --> 01:10:37,734
F.C. BARCELONA - REAL MADRID
COPA DEL REY FINAL

1477
01:10:37,817 --> 01:10:40,654
THROUGH TO THE FINAL,
LET'S GO REAL

1478
01:10:47,577 --> 01:10:50,455
We were surprised by
the Madrid players' attitude.

1479
01:10:50,538 --> 01:10:52,540
Iker looked
very distant,

1480
01:10:52,624 --> 01:10:55,210
I don't know if
Mourinho told him to or not,

1481
01:10:55,335 --> 01:10:59,673
but it bother me
and I didn't understand.

1482
01:11:00,757 --> 01:11:02,050
Distant? That was normal.

1483
01:11:02,133 --> 01:11:06,262
You want to win
for yourself too.

1484
01:11:06,388 --> 01:11:08,556
Each of us have to
do what's best for us.

1485
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:10,100
In this case, with the club.

1486
01:11:11,309 --> 01:11:14,354
They were suffering
this bout of blindness,

1487
01:11:14,437 --> 01:11:16,064
like I don't care what you say,

1488
01:11:16,147 --> 01:11:17,482
I trust my manager,

1489
01:11:17,565 --> 01:11:19,609
because he said this
and I believe his message.

1490
01:11:19,693 --> 01:11:21,820
I'll defend my team,

1491
01:11:21,903 --> 01:11:24,948
I believe the ideas
of my team, my manager,

1492
01:11:25,031 --> 01:11:26,491
because we wanted to compete.

1493
01:11:26,574 --> 01:11:28,868
And we wanted
to be the best we could.

1494
01:11:29,577 --> 01:11:31,579
Mourinho understands
that friendship

1495
01:11:31,663 --> 01:11:33,081
among players
on the Spanish team

1496
01:11:33,164 --> 01:11:35,792
and F.C. Barcelona
harms Real Madrid.

1497
01:11:35,875 --> 01:11:37,585
Mou didn't like

1498
01:11:37,669 --> 01:11:40,213
us being friendly
with players after,

1499
01:11:40,296 --> 01:11:44,175
in quotes, they humiliated us,
beating us 3-0, 4-0.

1500
01:11:46,636 --> 01:11:48,888
He didn't believe in friendship

1501
01:11:48,972 --> 01:11:50,765
on the playing field or off.

1502
01:11:50,890 --> 01:11:53,268
I think that was the mindset

1503
01:11:53,351 --> 01:11:55,645
that bothered him seeing us

1504
01:11:55,729 --> 01:11:57,731
saying hi in the tunnel.

1505
01:12:00,108 --> 01:12:04,029
He convinced his players
of his message.

1506
01:12:04,112 --> 01:12:06,281
And convincing them
of his message,

1507
01:12:06,364 --> 01:12:07,907
they become like a cult.

1508
01:12:09,617 --> 01:12:11,578
Mourinho didn't change,
at any time,

1509
01:12:11,661 --> 01:12:13,121
anyone's personality.

1510
01:12:13,246 --> 01:12:17,167
I don't blame Mourinho
for my fouls at that time.

1511
01:12:17,292 --> 01:12:18,752
I think we're all responsible

1512
01:12:18,835 --> 01:12:20,879
for our words and actions.

1513
01:12:23,757 --> 01:12:25,258
There have always been
great differences

1514
01:12:25,341 --> 01:12:26,426
between Madrid and Barcelona.

1515
01:12:26,509 --> 01:12:28,303
There always have been
and always will be.

1516
01:12:28,386 --> 01:12:29,763
But there's always order.

1517
01:12:37,103 --> 01:12:39,731
I think
that they failed in that.

1518
01:12:43,401 --> 01:12:44,903
The poison came from outside.

1519
01:12:44,986 --> 01:12:47,530
The poison didn't come from us.

1520
01:12:47,614 --> 01:12:49,115
The poison came from outside.

1521
01:12:49,449 --> 01:12:51,618
We were always careful

1522
01:12:51,701 --> 01:12:53,286
to maintain
a good atmosphere.

1523
01:12:53,369 --> 01:12:55,121
But what we had was
a stale atmosphere.

1524
01:12:55,205 --> 01:12:57,290
It was the worst.

1525
01:12:57,457 --> 01:12:59,501
And the worst happened.

1526
01:12:59,584 --> 01:13:02,212
For five or six months,
for half a year,

1527
01:13:02,295 --> 01:13:03,838
we were in a tense situation.

1528
01:13:03,922 --> 01:13:06,758
They started having
poor attitudes.

1529
01:13:06,966 --> 01:13:08,551
When you get there,
there's a lot of tension,

1530
01:13:08,635 --> 01:13:10,345
they barely speak to each other,

1531
01:13:10,428 --> 01:13:12,138
staying with their teammates.

1532
01:13:12,764 --> 01:13:15,600
Talking to my guys at the table
and not to anyone else.

1533
01:13:15,892 --> 01:13:18,394
Like a cold war.
We were distant,

1534
01:13:18,478 --> 01:13:20,730
we gave one-word answers.

1535
01:13:21,106 --> 01:13:25,068
Like if they were
coming out of the elevator,

1536
01:13:25,151 --> 01:13:27,779
and you were going to eat,
trying not to cross paths.

1537
01:13:27,862 --> 01:13:30,198
Everyone in their area,
instead of being together,

1538
01:13:30,281 --> 01:13:32,575
like things had been before.

1539
01:13:32,659 --> 01:13:34,786
We weren't as...

1540
01:13:35,620 --> 01:13:38,123
as untied or close
to one another.

1541
01:13:38,206 --> 01:13:39,582
It was uncomfortable.

1542
01:13:39,666 --> 01:13:43,086
We had to concentrate,
tell them that this

1543
01:13:43,628 --> 01:13:46,548
was great, they were here
to play for their country,

1544
01:13:46,631 --> 01:13:49,092
and then you're looking for

1545
01:13:49,175 --> 01:13:50,301
what table to sit at.

1546
01:13:50,385 --> 01:13:52,804
Coming off
an international tournament

1547
01:13:52,929 --> 01:13:56,391
and everything had changed,
the atmosphere was so different,

1548
01:13:56,683 --> 01:13:59,727
you didn't feel like going,
when you used to love going.

1549
01:14:03,898 --> 01:14:05,400
There's a game
they lose in Italy,

1550
01:14:05,483 --> 01:14:06,860
that made alarms go off.

1551
01:14:06,943 --> 01:14:09,612
Because they were
no longer a team.

1552
01:14:11,322 --> 01:14:13,491
If half of the team
is against the other half,

1553
01:14:13,575 --> 01:14:14,993
it won't go well for the group,

1554
01:14:15,118 --> 01:14:16,786
as far as competing
and winning titles.

1555
01:14:18,246 --> 01:14:20,331
Before Euros, there was a risk

1556
01:14:20,415 --> 01:14:22,417
that the team
would self-collapse.

1557
01:14:26,462 --> 01:14:29,215
ITALY 2 - 1 SPAIN

1558
01:14:30,258 --> 01:14:33,178
Well, what an atmosphere,
Camp Nou is impressive.

1559
01:14:33,303 --> 01:14:35,305
Everything ready
to start the game.

1560
01:14:35,638 --> 01:14:37,849
That ball is put in play
by "El Guaje" Villa,

1561
01:14:37,932 --> 01:14:39,100
playing to Messi.

1562
01:14:39,225 --> 01:14:41,102
10 MONTHS TO EUROS

1563
01:15:00,079 --> 01:15:02,749
Marcelo,
that's a nasty ankle challenge!

1564
01:15:02,832 --> 01:15:05,168
Straight red for Marcelo!

1565
01:15:05,293 --> 01:15:07,879
There are two dust ups,
Casillas is there, Xavi,

1566
01:15:07,962 --> 01:15:09,797
Piqué and company,
the managers in the other one.

1567
01:15:09,881 --> 01:15:12,258
Casillas is talking
to Xavi Hernández!

1568
01:15:12,634 --> 01:15:15,220
These close friends
on the national team, arguing.

1569
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:16,346
Their friendship has cooled off.

1570
01:15:16,429 --> 01:15:18,640
Alfredo, he's worried,

1571
01:15:18,723 --> 01:15:21,142
things won't be the same
on the Spanish national team.

1572
01:15:30,318 --> 01:15:32,946
The whole world
is watching this

1573
01:15:33,071 --> 01:15:35,406
and we're showing
an unfortunate image.

1574
01:15:45,917 --> 01:15:47,710
Everything we built
in just one day

1575
01:15:47,794 --> 01:15:51,547
with Luis Aragonés,
in 2006, was ruined.

1576
01:15:51,714 --> 01:15:53,883
And from there,
as captain, I saw

1577
01:15:54,217 --> 01:15:56,678
a bunch of things
I didn't like,

1578
01:15:56,761 --> 01:16:00,348
going beyond just soccer,

1579
01:16:00,431 --> 01:16:02,350
so I had to take action.

1580
01:16:06,062 --> 01:16:07,605
First talking to Xavi.

1581
01:16:07,897 --> 01:16:09,023
To Xavi...

1582
01:16:09,232 --> 01:16:12,610
We weren't on the same page
at first.

1583
01:16:12,735 --> 01:16:15,321
We laid it all out, everything.

1584
01:16:17,949 --> 01:16:20,868
He confronts me,
says we're acting weird,

1585
01:16:21,035 --> 01:16:23,955
that Piqué doing this
with his hand provoked them,

1586
01:16:24,038 --> 01:16:27,709
I told him they kicked us,
they stepped on us...

1587
01:16:30,003 --> 01:16:31,713
But in the end,
we came to an agreement,

1588
01:16:31,796 --> 01:16:33,172
that we were going to stop this,

1589
01:16:33,256 --> 01:16:34,299
that we weren't
being good examples.

1590
01:16:34,382 --> 01:16:35,967
The whole world was watching

1591
01:16:36,050 --> 01:16:39,053
to see if we'd self-destruct
on a soccer pitch.

1592
01:16:39,137 --> 01:16:41,097
And that saddens me, Iker.

1593
01:16:44,392 --> 01:16:47,687
Xavi told us
that they had talked.

1594
01:16:47,770 --> 01:16:51,941
And that at least Iker
thought that we had to

1595
01:16:52,025 --> 01:16:54,402
be united again.

1596
01:16:56,654 --> 01:16:58,448
So in the end
there was a before and after.

1597
01:16:58,531 --> 01:16:59,699
Between everyone...

1598
01:17:00,158 --> 01:17:01,242
Me with Madrid,

1599
01:17:01,326 --> 01:17:03,411
and Iker and everyone,
we tried to achieve

1600
01:17:03,494 --> 01:17:05,079
that harmony,

1601
01:17:05,163 --> 01:17:06,748
so everything would flow
naturally.

1602
01:17:06,831 --> 01:17:09,125
That move by Iker as captain,

1603
01:17:09,250 --> 01:17:11,502
I think we all appreciated it.

1604
01:17:13,546 --> 01:17:16,758
And it isn't a question
of me being the protagonist

1605
01:17:16,841 --> 01:17:18,551
or the savior or anything.

1606
01:17:18,634 --> 01:17:19,761
But I could tell that,

1607
01:17:19,844 --> 01:17:21,637
first off,
we were acting strange,

1608
01:17:21,721 --> 01:17:22,889
and secondly,

1609
01:17:22,972 --> 01:17:24,849
we were putting the national
team on the back burner,

1610
01:17:24,932 --> 01:17:26,601
which is very important.

1611
01:17:26,684 --> 01:17:28,478
We were letting
this opportunity slip away,

1612
01:17:28,561 --> 01:17:32,732
to make another Euros final

1613
01:17:32,899 --> 01:17:34,067
and leave our mark.

1614
01:17:35,485 --> 01:17:38,571
The rumor spread like wildfire
two hours before the match.

1615
01:17:38,696 --> 01:17:41,324
Casillas, world champion
and European champion,

1616
01:17:41,407 --> 01:17:42,825
would be a sub against Málaga.

1617
01:17:42,909 --> 01:17:45,411
His face is a poem.

1618
01:17:46,913 --> 01:17:49,415
I know Mourinho
didn't like that decision

1619
01:17:49,499 --> 01:17:51,542
between Xavi and Iker,

1620
01:17:51,626 --> 01:17:53,711
and maybe for
doing the right thing,

1621
01:17:53,795 --> 01:17:59,050
Iker ended up paying for it.

1622
01:17:59,133 --> 01:18:01,719
MOU WANTS A DIFFERENT CAPTAIN
ON THE PITCH

1623
01:18:01,803 --> 01:18:04,514
Iker was looked at differently
by Mourinho.

1624
01:18:04,597 --> 01:18:07,016
For not holding up the deal,
I don't know what they had,

1625
01:18:07,100 --> 01:18:08,142
whatever it was,

1626
01:18:08,226 --> 01:18:10,269
of hating these guys
even when on the national team.

1627
01:18:10,353 --> 01:18:13,689
Casillas was looked down upon
even by Real Madrid fans.

1628
01:18:13,773 --> 01:18:16,359
They thought of him
as a traitor.

1629
01:18:16,484 --> 01:18:19,362
Which is strange, because
he was the most dignified.

1630
01:18:19,487 --> 01:18:21,864
Calling someone to meet up
and say,

1631
01:18:21,948 --> 01:18:23,408
hey, this isn't right,

1632
01:18:23,491 --> 01:18:25,284
what we're doing,
it isn't right.

1633
01:18:25,660 --> 01:18:27,161
I'd do it again, every time.

1634
01:18:27,245 --> 01:18:29,122
I don't regret anything.

1635
01:18:31,499 --> 01:18:35,670
2012 EUROS
POLAND AND UKRAINE

1636
01:18:36,504 --> 01:18:41,592
SPAIN MAKES THIRD
CONSECUTIVE FINAL

1637
01:18:42,468 --> 01:18:45,513
SPAIN - ITALY
FINAL

1638
01:18:45,721 --> 01:18:47,598
Let's go, let's go!

1639
01:18:51,853 --> 01:18:53,729
For Euros,
we were in the zone.

1640
01:18:53,813 --> 01:18:56,274
It was all good feelings,
good vibes.

1641
01:18:56,357 --> 01:18:58,401
It was like we forgot
about everything

1642
01:18:58,526 --> 01:19:00,486
we had done before.

1643
01:19:04,782 --> 01:19:07,618
Four years later,
we faced Italy in the final.

1644
01:19:07,702 --> 01:19:09,078
And that closed the circle

1645
01:19:09,162 --> 01:19:11,289
of that winning generation.

1646
01:19:16,627 --> 01:19:19,213
Of feeling good,
of pleasant soccer.

1647
01:19:19,297 --> 01:19:21,591
You're having fun
in a Euros final.

1648
01:19:23,593 --> 01:19:25,595
Iker had an amazing culmination

1649
01:19:25,678 --> 01:19:27,930
with that great generation
of players.

1650
01:19:30,391 --> 01:19:31,934
I think it's important,

1651
01:19:32,018 --> 01:19:35,980
how the team matured
from 2008 to 2012.

1652
01:19:37,732 --> 01:19:40,943
The legacy of that team,
I think it's the unity.

1653
01:19:41,027 --> 01:19:44,030
And that together
we are always much stronger,

1654
01:19:44,113 --> 01:19:46,073
more invincible, as we showed.

1655
01:19:48,201 --> 01:19:51,120
Inside we had our difficulties,
like all families,

1656
01:19:51,245 --> 01:19:52,580
and we got over them.

1657
01:19:53,915 --> 01:19:56,459
Everyone putting the group
before the individual,

1658
01:19:56,542 --> 01:19:59,587
that's the key to success
for me.

1659
01:19:59,670 --> 01:20:00,880
Without a doubt.

1660
01:20:05,551 --> 01:20:08,429
We achieved balance
on the team,

1661
01:20:08,513 --> 01:20:11,182
with those who played more,
and those who played less.

1662
01:20:15,686 --> 01:20:18,314
Being generous
is always profitable.

1663
01:20:19,023 --> 01:20:21,025
You have to be generous
in soccer.

1664
01:20:22,902 --> 01:20:24,904
We put a bow on things
with that game,

1665
01:20:25,029 --> 01:20:26,531
the Euros, the World Cup,

1666
01:20:26,614 --> 01:20:29,200
and winning Euros again,
which no one had done.

1667
01:20:33,621 --> 01:20:36,749
SPAIN 4 - 0 ITALY

1668
01:20:36,832 --> 01:20:38,751
What I keep from that
are the friends I made,

1669
01:20:38,834 --> 01:20:39,919
the human group,

1670
01:20:40,002 --> 01:20:42,171
the stories, the laughs,
hanging out together.

1671
01:20:44,674 --> 01:20:47,426
The final, on the grass with
my teammates and their kids,

1672
01:20:47,510 --> 01:20:49,095
it was the image of a story

1673
01:20:49,262 --> 01:20:50,680
we started as children

1674
01:20:50,763 --> 01:20:52,431
and were finishing as adults.

1675
01:20:54,517 --> 01:20:57,520
For me,
the secret to all this

1676
01:20:57,645 --> 01:21:00,856
lies in something simple,
that they were the best.

1677
01:21:12,952 --> 01:21:14,495
And I also think
that was part of their success,

1678
01:21:14,579 --> 01:21:16,289
that people connected

1679
01:21:16,372 --> 01:21:18,958
with these guys
who weren't deified,

1680
01:21:19,041 --> 01:21:20,751
they weren't
from another planet,

1681
01:21:20,835 --> 01:21:23,337
they were just normal people.

1682
01:21:28,217 --> 01:21:30,261
It's interesting
remember that team

1683
01:21:30,344 --> 01:21:33,180
as a team without stars,
because they were all stars.

1684
01:21:33,264 --> 01:21:34,557
But they were stars

1685
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:36,267
who behaved
as members of a group.

1686
01:21:36,350 --> 01:21:37,518
That's different.

1687
01:21:44,942 --> 01:21:47,361
It wasn't just a sporting event,

1688
01:21:47,945 --> 01:21:50,239
they were events
that transcended sports,

1689
01:21:50,364 --> 01:21:52,158
national events.

1690
01:22:10,134 --> 01:22:14,180
EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS 2008

1691
01:22:14,639 --> 01:22:18,809
WORLD CHAMPIONS 2010

1692
01:22:19,685 --> 01:22:23,606
EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS 2012

1693
01:22:25,441 --> 01:22:27,026
IN MEMORIAM

1694
01:22:27,109 --> 01:22:30,696
LUIS ARAGONÉS
