Diego Maradona

I am Maradona, who makes goals, who makes mistakes. I can take it all. I have shoulders big enough to fight with everybody.

My mother thinks I am the best. And I was always convinced that I am the best.

I've been going through a lot. I've been going through a lot of pain. But I'm still alive. And I'm going to keep fighting.

I am black or white, I'll never be grey in my life.

To say that I am a legend, a great player, a star... I am just a man who wants to play football.

I made a mistake, and I paid for it. But the ball is not stained.

When people tell me I'm a god, I tell them they're wrong. I'm just a simple football player.

I was waiting for them with a bazooka. I was crazy.

I asked for a punch and it was delivered with a headbutt.

To play in the World Cup again, I would crawl on my hands and knees.

I am grateful to God for having given me my children and for making me a footballer. He gave me everything.

I will never be a white-collar worker. I don't know how to lie. I don't know how to cheat.

The Hand of God? That's what I said at the time. I'll never forget it.

I believe in God, and I believe in the Virgin Mary. I believe in everything.

I don't think I'll ever be a normal person. I'm too crazy.

Football is the most beautiful game in the world. It should be played with a smile.

I would give my life to be able to play football again.

I've always been a rebel. I've always been against the system.

My greatest dream is to play in a World Cup final and lift the trophy.

I want to be remembered as a player who gave everything for his country.
