Iker Muniain at "Futboleros" on MarcaTV
So after his awesome (but all-too-brief) debut with the senior national team on Wednesday, Iker Muniain went on the MarcaTV program "Futboleros" (last night, I think?), and was his usual hilarious and charming self. At the request of txorakeriak, I've transcribed and translated the interview, which also includes the comedian Dani Martínez, who can often be seen tweeting with the Athletic boys.
Dani Martínez: You love the media and putting yourself out there, you love the fame!
Iker Muniain: I love it, dude, I love it!
(male presenter): And, listen, I'm sorry - Iker - thanks so much for being here with us. I'm really sorry that you had to come on the day that Dani Martínez is here. I know you asked for him not to be here if it were possible, but he asked to come today...
IM: Yes, the truth is, I'm his shadow. Where he goes, I go.
presenter: Hey, you're an international now, dude!
IM: Yes! I've got the shirt right here!
presenter: Let's see, let's see! Turn it around!
IM: Dani -
presenter: There it is!
lady presenter: And with the seven!
IM: One thing, Dani, when you play with the national team one day, give me a call, okay, monster?
DM: Listen, when you train everyday with Ana Simón, you do the same, okay?
[crosstalk, someone says something about Amorebieta]
presenter: Hey, Iker, aside from the shirt that you've got, have they given you one? Since you're an international now? Or no?
IM: No, they still haven't - I stole it, I stole it, giving things, around here they don't give you anything!
presenter: You know that Dani is a fan of Barça, no?
IM: Yeah, I see that, he's very smart... it seems that he's not too bright because he says he's a fan of Barça and he does everything for his team, and then all of a sudden I see him on MarcaTV, you know! Whatever they say, he's not so smart!
presenter: How did you become friends with a guy like Dani Martínez?!
IM: Well, he came after me, looking for me!
presenter: Another thing, have you gone to see him in the theater?
IM: No, since that jerk doesn't invite me! But also I'm a little busy these days, first the derby against La Real and then we'll see what happens.
DM: Vidic and Ferdinand are going to eat you alive, when you see them you're going to go running, you need to give them hell at Old Trafford!
IM: You're not going to do it because you're not going to play!
lady presenter: Seeing your character, you've obviously had problems with integration, in this first call-up, right?
IM: Yes, it was a little difficult, the first ten minutes!
presenter: And Del Bosque, what do you think of Del Bosque? Who, by the way, is watching you. Del Bosque is watching you. What do you think of him?
IM: Joder, I'm going to get all red!
DM: This dude, I've seen him organize masses, this dude is a leader there and aside from that, he's the sort of person who... [Iker opens a bottle of Sunny D - brought to him by Kun, perhaps?] Hey, stop that, dude, we're live on TV!
presenter: Have you talked with Bielsa, too?
IM: No, I still haven't had the opportunity to see him yet. I'll see him tomorrow.
DM: You'll see him tomorrow, during one of the thirty-two talks that you'll have tomorrow!
IM: Yeah, thirty-two talks and two hundred videos...
presenter: Hey but is it true that....
IM: But I'm right-footed, eh?
presenter: But you hit it [the ball] with both feet?
IM: No, only with the right foot!
presenter: No, with both!
IM: Yes, okay, with all three.
IM: Well, whenever you want, you're all invited here to jail, I mean, my house...
