Javi, Iker & Ander @ Punto Pelota
Today Jennifer on Twitter linked me to this video and I'm really grateful she thought of me because it's one of the most brilliant videos I've ever seen. I died laughing repeatedly. And I also felt very proud at the end when the entire "Punto Pelota" team agreed that Athletic are awesome. :D

Irene Junquera: We’re here with the three “pearls” of Athletic, I wanted to interview you three because I hear that you guys don’t get along very well. ("os lleváis super mal")
Javi Martínez: Yeah.
Ander Herrera: Since I got here, I’ve had big problems with these two, and I’m anxious to get them out of my sight as soon as possible.
Irene: Is that feeling mutual?
Iker Muniain: (something I can’t quite make out) On that basis, no, I just want to say that for me, it’s really hard to get up every morning knowing that I have to come here and see their faces.
Irene: Javi, can we say that you’re the “father” of these two?
Javi: Yes, yes, I normally... I’m the one who takes care of them.
Ander: The truth is that he has a lot of experience, and he’s a very wise guy, and we try to learn from him. (Proceeds to crack up. Poor Javi!)
Irene: Now we’re going to talk about football... who’s the one who’s in charge in the locker room?
Iker: Who’s in charge? After me, well... it’s probably... I believe it’s Gurpegui, who’s the captain.
Ander: There’s veteran players here who we really take as our references, as is the case with Gurpegui, Iraola, Gorka Iraizoz, and well... we try to learn from them every day.
Irene: [Ander] was the second most expensive signing in the history of Athletic. Did you know that?
Iker: And I’m the youngest-ever goalscorer.
Javi: (pointing to Ander) Him!
Iker: It’s gone to his head a little bit, because maybe he’ll miss a pass or something, and you’ll shout at him, “Joder, Ander, something-or-other...”, and he’ll be like, “When you cost eight million euros...”
Ander: That’s a lie, obviously, it’s a lie!

Poor Javi, getting mocked by Ander, but I couldn't even be mad at him because I was too busy laughing at his facial expression! XDDD
I'm not surprised that Iker said he's the boss of Athletic's dressing room. After all, he already decided he was captain of the U-21. XDD

But I am totally with Irene - they are just THE BEST. This interview is one of my favorite things I've translated, ever. And it's not because of my shoddy translation skills, let me tell you. XD
