QOTD: Xavi On Midget Bullfighting
Q: Why have shows with midgets in the bullfighting ring in Zaragoza been prohibited?
A: So, does that mean I can’t perform?
–
Brilliant, no? We like a man who can make a joke about his size – the rather-talented midfielder stands at about 5’7″. After all, good things (like shiny things from Tiffany) come in small packages.
Read the full translated interview from El Pais here.
Sorry, that's the translated into English. This is the SPANISH one

Thanks, I was looking for the original and couldn’t find it. I knew he had to answer one of those questions by swearing(Hostia!). haha

Ooooops, I wanted to post this… this is the real article in Spanish

Just to clarify, that's NOT the question… there's no bullfighting in that question although they ask him about it before. It's 2 separate questions actually…
Interviewer – Would you prohibit bullfighting?
Xavi – I respect those people who go and see it but I haven't gone in my life. There's nothing like a ball.
…
Interviewer – Why have they prohibitted the midgets in the 'fiestas' in Zaragoza?
[for those of you that don't know, it's very popular in Spain in the summer for towns/villages to have kinda like a funfair with rides, food and lots of the local people usually held in the center of town]
Xavi – Oh, so that means I can't perform then?
Hahaha this is hilarious and it really made my day.. God I love this guy!!!
ahahahahah! Sooo cute ^^ ahahahahaha!
I love this guy!!!!
I have always found him quite hot. His got that Spanish, taco-eating hotness aboutt him
Mmmm-We don’t eat tacos. That’s Mexico
Oh bother, just what I needed: more evidence to fuel my Xavi crush.
That little Catalan makes this Madridista fall more in love with him everyday!!! <3 TSP
glad i'm not the only one
[...] Xavi admits to being a midget. [Kickette] [...]
OMG LMFAO! I THINK I JUST FELL IN LOVE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! He is hilarious! That interview is amazing! He seems like he would be the coolest guy ever! OMG Love it. Xabi
<3
Xavi is intelligent, humble, funny and hates watches like me! haha Thanks for posting this, I really enjoyed it. It only makes me love and respect him more than I did. This is his fun side but I also like to see his bad temper on the field at times. For those that want to know his family and home, check out this video. Wish all ballers were like Xavi. Even his dog plays the game! lol

o goodness that is such a great response. i suddenly can sind him to be a cool guy.
these were great and funny…the link for Pepe Reina are good.. where is the link to read the other players…I can’t wait for iker and the Ramos.
I LOVE HIM! I read his and a whole bunch of the other’s interviews yesterday
i was laughing all morning long. 
How cute!! He is too funny. I actually read all of the random questions made to players yesterday..their are some real comedians on the Spanish NT.
All of a sudden, he is attractive. Self-deprecation from a genius is so hot ( take note C-Ron). And he likes animals.
Ohmygod, rofl, amazing. Xavi did his thing today.
LOL! Oh Xavi, I heart him. he really is a living proof that good things do come in small packages.
Also, for f*** sake Spain, step it up in the 2nd half pleaseeeeeeeeeee.
Hahahaha, gotta love him! So cute that he can joke about himself like that! #Barça
So very excited to see him on here!!! Xavi <3 <3 <3
Why is this link not working for me? Is anyone else having the same problem?
I LOVE XAVI. PERIOD.
Lord am I soooo tensed with the game vs Portugal in a few minutes
lol i love this guy! so glad he's not injured…can't say the same about C-Ron though…grr! hope Spain wins!
i was thinking exactly the same thing!!i love the Spanish NT and i do not like C-Ron at all!Plus,he is arrogant!
lol! oh xavi i love you!
seriously, i just fell a little more into love with him. love a guy with a sense of humor. who cares if he's only 2 inches taller than me
