Asked about the Brazilian winger for Real Madrid, Marcelo, he had this to say: "I think that he's extraordinary, he entertains, with a street-level kind of play".
Hierro was also full of praise for French defender Varane: "There is no defender in the world like Varane at his age. He gives the impression that he has been playing for 20 years".
Hierro knows Casillas well: "Every time I see Iker in goal, he seems sure of himself. Whoever thinks he'll take being benched well is wrong. I think he needed some affection. I advised him to make a decision and to speak publically".
He also spoke about last year's manager: "I think that the loyalty that Karanka had for Mourinho has gone against him. Mourinho hasn't done right by Karanka."
Hierro was then asked to comment on Mesut Özil: "I think he is an extraodrinary player", and Zizou: "Zidane is where he wants to be, where he feels important". Finally, he was asked about about Raúl: "I think he´ll become a manager", he said.
Regarding the national team, he is in favour of its manager renewing: "Everyone likes Del Bosque; to put everyone's mind at rest, the renewal should be until 2016. From where I´m standing Vicente appears quite at ease, and motivated to continue."
Atlético striker Diego Costa is the subject of much debate: "Spain has done the right thing asking about him, now the ball is in his court".
