1. Which game of the national team is the one that you remember the best? Well, I remember the World Cup of 1994 in the U.S., with the ties against Korea, 2-2 I think, and against Germany, which ended 1-1. 2. What is the first World Cup that you remember? The one in 1994, when I was nine years old and just beginning to play football. That’s the one I remember and the one I liked the best as well because it was the first one, and I remember Spain, and Sweden which had a great team that went quite far, and Bulgaria. 3. The World Cup final that you got the most excited about? The final of Brazil-Italy, which ended 0-0 and went into penalties, with the miss by Roberto Baggio. 4. An image of Spain in a World Cup? When we were eliminated by Korea. The deception of the team, the anger, the faces of the team and the fans. Everyone surrounding the referee… that stays in your head. 5. An unforgettable goal of Spain? In the 2000 Eurocopa, Alfonso’s goal against Yugoslavia. 6. Where did you watch the 2006 World Cup in Germany? I remember I was in Valencia, on vacation. I watched the games at a friend’s house. 7. Which rival in the first round is the most difficult one? Chile, they played very well in the classification round. They have young players and play well. 8. Why has Spain never won a World Cup? It’s clear that it’s not easy to win one, it’s complicated. Spain has good players but could never make it to the end. I hope that we can make it to the final of this one, we have confidence in ourselves, but it’s clear that it’s not easy to get that far, and that one bad day could see you sent home. 9. The favorite to win the World Cup? Apart from Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Italy. 10. Who will be the star of the World Cup? I hope it will be one of ours, we have a lot of players that could be important: Xavi, Iniesta, Villa, Torres, any of them, we have a lot. 11. What is the most boring thing about a World Cup? I think preparing for a World Cup makes you happy, so nothing. 12. What will you bring to pass the time? The same things as always, I’ll probably spend a lot of time playing Play and with the computer. 13. How many pairs of boots will you bring? I don’t usually bring a lot. One with rubber studs, and two with aluminum to play games with. 14. Which teammate is the most unbearable one? Right now, Villa could probably be one of them. He’s sometimes annoying [Albiol is kidding] but it’s a pleasure talking to him. I haven’t listened to him in a while, so having him here could mean he’s one of them. Arbeloa too, he’s also a bit annoying. 15. Why should we have faith in this team? Because we’ve been playing well, and we won the Eurocopa so it’s the moment to win the World Cup. We have a lot of confidence in each other and a great team. We would like to make our fans happy; they’ve been waiting a long time http://conlaroja.wordpress.com/2010/08/18/pelota-al-suelo-raul-albiol/#more-3125 --
