Pepe has a very strong temperament, but he’s all goodness, he’s all heart, although people may have a different idea about him.  Ricardo is more of an expert, a veteran.  The work that both of them are doing on my team is very good.

What a lovely description of Pepe!  And I love that Iker called it “his” team.  Looks like Xabi has a co-parent!

Iker said this today during his press conference with La Roja, where he also revealed that they have all joked about the game.
