What I love the most is playing with Argentina.
What's the problem that people have here in Spain with Maradona and Messi? They spend the whole day comparing them.
As a boy, I wanted to be the Peruvian Diego Maradona. Sadly, Peru hasn't made the World Cup since 1982, so I guess I did well to choose something different.
In my career, Diego Maradona had the biggest influence on me.
What Zidane can do with a football, Maradona could do with an orange.
Everything Maradona did, he did with a guy hanging on his neck during 90 minutes.
Missing the 1978 World Cup made Maradona an even better player, as he showed on the following year at the Youth World Cup, and he never looked back.
For such a small man Maradona gets great elevation on his balls
I find it embarrassing when people compare me to Maradona. How can they? There is only one Maradona. People who say this just have no idea, they don't know what they are talking about. Diego was a complete one-off who will never have an equal on the football pitch. No-one, I repeat no-one, could have transformed teams like he did. Maradona was the world's greatest-ever player while I'm just an apprentice.
When I was young, as a fan of Independiente, my idol was Enrique Bochini. He was a playmaker and a total legend at the club. He never played for another club in his career. Maradona was a fan of Bochini too. So when I think that I have only played for Inter in Italy, I feel a little like Bochini. Only with far fewer assists!
I had said I didn't mind which shirt I played in, but coming from Diego, № 10 is very special.
I have met him a few times. What can I say - Maradona is one of the best players in football history.
The only ones who would be happy if Messi doesn't go to the World Cup would be Maradona fans because, that way, they can keep saying that he's the best.
Maradona, I think, is not a football player but he's something different. He was unbelievable.
Maradona was absolutely the best player I ever played with.
I don't think there is anybody bigger or smaller than Maradona.
I was lucky enough to play against Maradona. He and Ronaldo, when he was at Inter Milan - they were my toughest opponents.
For soccer, it was Diego Maradona, and then another idol for me was Michael Jordan. To see them play and how that they could impact the game was pretty special.
I've been around some very famous people, but no one has the effect Maradona has; people tremble in his presence.
I see Maradona every time he grabs the ball and accelerates.
He has been named as the heir apparent of the great Argentine hero, Diego Maradona, by journalists, players, and Maradona himself, alike. I'd personally put him in a drawer of my bedside table.
Most people only remember Maradona for the bad parts now. But he was a genius, someone who lifted us and himself up to the level of the gods.
Argentina is a powerhouse in soccer.
Napoli are one of Europe's top teams.
Brazil versus Argentina is always a great game, with great football and scoring chances.
