Help with a video on rtve.es
 

I often watch videos on rtve.es to improve my ability to understand spoken Spanish. On the portal today (go to rtve.es), there's a very short video about Guardiola's decision to stay in Barcelona or not. I understand every single piece of that video, except for the guy at 0:38 - I can't understand what he's saying, although I replayed it several times. Can someone transcribe that short sentence for me please?

Jeez - I couldn't even identify it as Spanish :eek:. Speaking just for myself, if somebody can't be bothered to open their mouth and speak more clearly, I'm not interested in hearing them.

Yeah, but that's how 90% of the real Spanish on the streets sounds.

Let's hope a native speaker can help us before rtve.es removes the video from the portal - they will replace it with a new video after the press conference.

I guess you are right. Most forum members are on the other side of the Atlantic, so might be too late to hear it.

OK, Guardiola stepped down in the meantime :(
Here's a permanent link to the video, however, if anyone wants to clear out the "mysterious" sentence at 0:38 :)

Interesting that you only have trouble with one interview... It was far harder for me trying to understand what the man at 0:26 said (and failed). :D

What I think the young man at 0:38 says is:
"Hombre, no sé quién vendría, pero sería un paro(?) grande para todos los aficionados, seguro."

I'm not sure about the word "paro"; I don't know what it would mean there. :thinking:

Fortunately though, we have many Spanish members in the community who will have a much clearer idea. ;)

Palo

...pero sería un palo grande para todos los aficionados, seguro.

¡Que mal habla ese chico! Casi no lo entiendo ni yo.

Muchas gracias, Micho.

¿"Palo" en el sentido de "golpe"? ¿Algo así como "sería una noticia muy desagradable para los aficionados"?

Por cierto, aún pienso que el señor del 0:26 habla peor. ;)

Sí.

Y sí, al señor del 0:26 cuesta entenderle. Son catalanes, tienen su acento cuando hablan en español.

Gracias, Don José. :)
