I started to translate around the second 31 since i didnt tought the first part was interesting.

Iterviewer: …and for the ball, the hard work that have been trying to convince that austrian guy of giving you the ball

Villa: Yes, i think that it was harder to get the ball than score those goals, by just saying that i’m telling you how hard it was.

I: It was more difficult to speak with him, no?

V: Yes.

I: But what was he telling you when you went to speak with him?

V: Well, he was speaking in english, but he was saying that it wasn’t allowed by the UEFA and that he had to take the ball to the dressing room.

I: But in the end you got it thanks to Xabi Alonso, Reina...

V: Yes, a few of them with their english skills they conviced him of giving me the ball and i’m very happy of having it.

I: You bring during the night, so they could sign it.

V: Yeah, everyone signed it and i’m also happy that is a really good memory that all my teammates are there in the ball and well... i’ll keep it for the rest of my life.

I: And did you sleep well?

V: Yes, very well, very happy.

I: At what time you went to sleep?

V: Around 3am, around that time.

I: After you finished answering the messages?

V: No no...

I: Because i heard (he actually says some place or something but i can’t hear him well) that you got more than 60 messages on your cellphone.

V: Yes, we were playing cards for a while (everyone was there) and we went to sleep at 3am.

I: You keep saying that this was the best game of your life? The best time of your life?

V: Yes, i don’t know if this was the most completed game, but is clear that by the circumstances, the fact that is in an Euro and that it was with the national team makes it the best game of my life, i hope that a better one is yet to come, but until today the best one is this game.

I: What has the niño said to you? I suppose that after the celebration of the 3rd goal you both talked in the dressing room, but i don’t know if last night you had a more private conversation where you thanked him this (i actually don’t understand if he’s saying that Torres said thanks to him or Villa to Torres XD).

V: No, man, is clear that he was happy because even thought he wasn’t able to score a goal he played very well, i think that yesterday he was one of the best and well, in this case i’m very happy about this, but i’m also happy because thanks to his work i was able to score those goals and to say the truth he had a lot to do in those three goals.
