I told him that I would have no problem whatsoever with putting on the gloves, and that I would try to work hard to take Iker’s starting position away from him.
But rest assured Iker fans, Sergio was just joking about the second part! Video’s here (thanks LaBlanca!).
In any case, if the need arises (and fingers crossed it won’t, ever), Sergio confessed that when he was a kid, he played as the goalkeeper during neighborhood football games, and that he enjoyed it.
It looks like Iker needs to take Sergio glove shopping…
Update: from today’s training session – I guess we’re not the only ones that like to look at Sergio’s muscles! Sergio was caught flexing his biceps during the session, either for himself or for one of his teammates! Marcelo maybe? (He probably said to Sergio, Cristiano has bigger guns than you, and Sergio wasn’t too pleased.)
