Analysis of a Football Match Performance
Cabo Verde would put the earpiece on you,
Pepe Reina would come on and say, "I trust you,"
don't worry, we've been through this.
Hey, look, what a beautiful way to come full circle, Pepe.
No, man, I see the glass half full,
but because they've given us confidence.
It's an increasingly mature national team.
They play better and better, more disciplined, more supportive.
It's a healthy locker room, it's a competitive locker room. It has a coach who
represents all those values.
The players, it's very much a signature team.
And this man, what is there to say.
The noteworthy interventions…
What do you know about this? That's why I take the liberty of speaking, and you'll have to forgive me,
but the noteworthy interventions are not the saves.
It's the times he has ensured
that the chance came to nothing,
because his starting position was 20 meters further forward than the goalkeeper at the time.
That has a lot of value, and that
is what makes him number one and be on the list of those who conceded the fewest goals
and the streak, and he deserves it, he really deserves it, and I tell you this sincerely.
You're a great. I know, no, I know.
Because I like playing with goalkeepers, man.

Original transcript (Spanish)
Cabo Verde te ponía el pinganillo, te pasaba Pepe Reina y decía yo confío, tranquilos, esto lo hemos vivido. Oye, mira, qué bonita manera de cerrar el círculo, Pepe. No, hombre, yo, el vaso medio lleno,
pero porque nos han dado seguridad. Es una selección cada vez más madura. Juegan cada vez mejor, más serios, más solidarios. Es un vestuario sano, es un vestuario competitivo. Tiene un entrenador que representa todos esos valores.
Los jugadores, es una selección muy de autor. Y este hombre, qué vamos a decir. Las intervenciones de mérito... Qué sabes de esto? Por eso me permito la licencia de hablar y me vais a perdonar, pero las intervenciones de mérito no son las paradas.
Son las veces que ha generado que la ocasión no llegara a nada, porque su posición de partida era 20 metros más adelantada que el portero de turno. Eso tiene mucho valor y eso es lo que le hace ser el número uno y estar en la lista de los menos goleados
y la racha y se lo merece, se lo merece de verdad y te lo digo sinceramente. Eres un grande. Conozco, no, conozco. Porque me gusta jugar con porteros, tío.
