“I thought he was a MESSI MARADONA. I saw him more rebellious, he said what he felt and he won on the pitch without anyone gifting him any match.

“I like this MESSI more, that he’s with his family, showing that he’s playing with his dog and drinking a beer more than the one they criticized because he didn’t sing the anthem.

“Everything that MESSI does is for Argentina’s benefit.”

Regarding his battles with FIFA and the AFA:

“I fought for 25 years against BLATTER and GRONDONA because I defend the ball. Me, they didn’t pay me to talk. I defended the players and today I have the recognition of the monsters.”
