“If we win two (World Cups) in a row, that’s it, I’m retiring from the national team. We have to make room for other young players.”

“Something like this is not going to happen again. We all saw Argentina winning the World Cup. I had not seen it since I was born. A 7-year-old kid already knows what he experienced. You are going to be happy and celebrate, but not like the previous one.”
The World Cup winner also revealed what he did before the 2022 World Cup final:

“I work with my psychologist. I’m a world champion, I won four Golden Gloves, two The Best and two Yashin for the best goalkeeper in the world.”
“I’m looking for something to better myself. I’m missing things that make me push myself to keep fighting against me. Today, it’s Dibu against Dibu. I made it to the top and… how did you fight against that?”
“It’s hard to get to the top and, once you get there, you say…. ‘what do I do now?’ The best example is Leo. He’s still striving after winning the Ballon d’Or at 37 years of age.”
