PLANET EARTH - Iker: We interview the most human player of the Milky Way

This is my very subjective, not proof-read, translation from Spanish to English of one of the two articles in December's issue of Men's Health. The other article is shorter and pretty much just about his fitness level/regimen. I might translate that one at a later date. Enjoy! (This is for you Michelle

i am absolutely in love with this man. especially after that very last sentence. wow. thank you so so so much for this! i'm going to read it a few more times and cry over him some more. thankyouthankyouthankyou<3

You are more than welcome. Translating it made me live that interview even more. I am so beyond in love with him, it's not even funny. I loved the salad analogy, and how he talks about mutual respect, and being friends with his teammates, and pretty much everything he says :D. It's hilarious that they mention the makeup artist saying he has amazing skin. If that man becomes a coach/manager at Real Madrid, his players would die for him. It'd be the greatest thing ever...some years down the line :).

p.s. new person to be jealous of: one of my friends from home just told me that she took an internship this summer...in SOUTH AFRICA!!! I can't even imagine! She'll be there for the World Cup! Oh, the jealousy!!

"There are a lot of third-rate celebrities that don’t count for anything and dedicate themselves to living off of the masses. That’s what I don’t like." LOL. I love this line!

The salad analogy was superb too. He's... like a level higher than everyone else. If I'd have done this myself it would have taken about three days so thank you so much!

I know! I love how blatantly honest he is about everything, and also the salad analogy is ridiculous and awesome at the same time. I wonder how long he spent coming up with that...

You're more than welcome. I definitely did that last night instead of researching for either of the two papers I have due in a few weeks. Because that's how I roll :p. Oh the joys of procrastination.
