MARIO KEMPES

It's impossible to replace him. You will not find another Messi, but you can train a team without having the best in the world.

What Guardiola has done as coach of Barcelona is really spectacular.

I wasn't a No. 9, as everyone believes today. Every time I played as a No. 9, I failed.

I'd love to work in Argentina but there aren't any possibilities to manage there. The managers always remain the same. They just swap clubs once in a while.

It is very difficult to play beside Messi and whoever understands it any other way is a fool.

I have worked in so many countries over the years that I must have moved house about 20 times.

I am lucky because I can feel at home anywhere, I don't get homesick.

Argentina have always produced very good players, and mine is just another name on the list.

Sometimes it is not bad to be scared.

I think players of the national team are not entitled to make an opinion about who is making the team and who is not. At least in my days it was like that.

Good players can do well everywhere and Soldado is a good footballer.

Dybala only lacks the belief that he is a great footballer. After his great experience at Palermo he had a great start with Juve and he did beautiful things.

I wasn't your average striker because I didn't play as an out-and-out centre-forward.

When you're a player and you win the World Cup and other titles you don't get the chance to enjoy the moment because of the media scrum. You end up getting tired of it. But when the years go by and you look back on it all, then you understand just what it is that you achieved, that we achieved.

Now winning is more important and it trumps the way you achieve it. Unfortunately for soccer, the style doesn't matter so much.

Suarez and Neymar play the way they play because of him. They are great players but they are made greater by Messi.

You can only succeed by playing in the way which comes naturally to you.

It's different the way the game is played now and the way we played the game.

I couldn't be bothered with the whole shaving-every-couple-of-days routine.

Messi is a human being and we have to respect him.

In one game I'd have defenders completely wiping me out, but three days later I'd have my chance to get revenge. What had happened a few days earlier would never affect my confidence.

This is one thing every coach can take from Menotti. If you win the World Cup, no one can criticize you.

English football is a lot different to Spanish football but Soldado is an international for Spain, he is a player who has become accustomed to playing against great teams - and he has always scored goals.

Times have changed. Football has changed.

All of us know that Messi cannot win alone, except for the fanatics or the mental patients who put in doubt Messi's talents, saying that he is a bottler, that he feels nothing for Argentina, that he doesn't sing the anthem, that he goes to the bathroom 50 times before a game. Those are things that are said to make an impression.
