That interview was awesome.

Santi is how he is, he cannot feign to be anything else. He is from the 'campo Asturiano', and that means being sincere, direct, and giving it your all. God, I envy Wenger. That bastard knew exactly what he was doing. This guy is going to do great things for Arsenal. Damn, just damn. He should never have left.

Thanks for the link.

ETA When I said Santi is a leader, I meant to say he leads by example. He clearly recognizes the Arsenal hierarchy, and Mikel Arteta's position. But, as I said, he is 'serious', that is to say, 'all in' at all times, and not afraid to correct, as his goal is that of his manager. He leads by example typically. That level of dedication is infectious, and he is the typical grupal type Asturiano who is looking to pick people up and integrate them. If he gets a functional command of English, watch out. It won't be just his play that gets respect. Damn you Wenger. Ah, Arsenal needs to make sure he gets some Spanish food once in a while.
