00:00I was actually talking to Edu about that at lunch and, yeah, I would have done it.
00:08So that was Capello?
00:09Yeah.
00:10He contacted you?
00:11Yeah, and I would have done it. I feel very proud about it and I was very realistic looking at the place that Spain had at the time, how little chances I had.
00:20So, you need to know your level, that's very important, look in the mirror.
00:24And at the end it didn't happen. It was good, at least to think about it.
00:30It wasn't a big ambition, it was an awesome run, totally devastating?
00:34No, I wasn't prepared to fight against the world in that moment!
