Before the World Cup semi-final against France, Spanish defender Cubas was interviewed by RAC1 radio. In the final segment of the interview, Cubas answered a rapid-fire question and answer.

Finally, I'd like to do a quick Q&A with Bao. Ready, Bao?

OK

Best friend on the national team?

All of my Barcelona teammates.

The best friend in the football world?

Those La Masia teammates who are about to join the first team.

Who would you least want to share a room with?

Let me give a different answer: Ferran Torres. Because Gavi and Lamin's names are constantly mentioned in this World Cup, I'll use a different one.

The world's best defender?

Laporte.

What's the most beautiful goal you've ever scored?

The Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid.

What's your dream goal?

To score one in the semifinals. Like Puyol.

The best coach you've ever worked with.

Harvey, Flick, or De la Fuente.

Which national team teammate would you bring to Barcelona?

All of them. Their skill level is excellent.

Which World Cup player would you bring to Barcelona? Be bold and say it.

Messi.

Is Messi still capable? He can still make a difference, right?

Messi's ability remains astonishing.

A retired legendary player you'd most like to work with?

Puyol.

Champions League or World Cup?

I want both for my mom's sake.

Sports other than football?

Basketball or tennis.

If you win the World Cup, what promise will you make?

It depends on what everyone wants; anything is fine.

Like dyeing your hair white? Some of your Barcelona teammates have dyed their hair that way. Would you join them?

Sure, no problem, any color is fine.

In a few days we might see a group of people with white hair. Paul, let me ask one last question. A recent commentary by Mariano Rajoy (former Spanish Prime Minister) has caused quite a stir, in which he said the French team "has no Frenchmen," clearly alluding to the skin color of some players. Considering that the Spanish national team is also a microcosm of this diversity, what are your thoughts?

To be honest, I didn't see that news report, and I'm not very familiar with the situation. However, if they play for the French national team, then they are French. We must be tolerant of everyone; skin color doesn't matter because we are all human beings and deserve respect.

Bao, I wish you good luck in the semi-finals, see you in Barcelona in a week.

That's great, thank you.
