<p>It&#8217;s a quite a cute little interview.  Here are the best soundbites.</p>
<p>&#8211; the last song I&#8217;ll listen to before the derby is Lil Wayne&#8217;s &#8220;Six Foot, Seven Foot&#8221; (I love the accent!).</p>
<p>&#8211; a derby is a derby, no matter what positions the teams are in.  It&#8217;s going to be a difficult game, and Madrid likes to play games like that.</p>
<p>&#8211; I celebrated my goal against Atleti by imitating the dance of a crab in Brazil.</p>

<p>&#8211; I&#8217;ve been to Cibeles two times with Madrid; it was a wonderful, great thing.  We&#8217;ll give everything we&#8217;ve got in order to return.</p>
<p>&#8211; I speak the most with Pepe; I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s because of the language.  I&#8217;m always with Pepe and with Cris, and sometimes with Kaká.  Cristiano is the best in the world both on and off the field.  He&#8217;s a &#8220;top&#8221; guy.</p>
<p>&#8211; Casillas is a captain, not a sheriff.  He&#8217;s also a &#8220;top&#8221; person (&#8220;top&#8221; is Marcelo&#8217;s favorite word).</p>
<p>&#8211; there are people who want to destroy the good relationship we all have.  We&#8217;re very united, all of us &#8211; Spaniards, Portuguese, Germans, everyone&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8211; Mourinho doesn&#8217;t need to change anything about him.  But others should change the way they perceive him.  We see him as a father, who defends us to the death, who always sticks up for us.</p>
