Athlete

I'm content with what I have done in my career.

I've always considered Florence as my girlfriend. I don't have to explain my love for this city.

Bielsa knows everything about everything.

Personally, I can't take the blame for what politicians did in 1982. I can't take on some kind of revenge or change history. I want to beat England because I want to win every game I play, but not because we went to war in 1982 or because we played against each other in 1998.

If I had gone to Madrid, I would have scored more than 200 goals, but I knew I would have got bored.

You have to win before anything else.

My problem is that I have no cartilage or tendons. My 86 kilos are supported by bones alone. That's what generated the pain.

Sometimes the logic of football has no value at all.

I never enjoyed being the star-man because as soon as you become the focal point of the team, you assume an extra burden of responsibility.

This is the World Cup, and you need all the elements in place: a good coach, luck, and a cohesive team unit are fundamental requirements.

I came to Roma because the president here and the coach have a great will to win, and that's what I have, too.

Balotelli, and a few others, have everything that I would have liked to have. It angers me that he does not use his talent to his full advantage.

It would be spectacular if I could be the top scorer and win the World Cup with Argentina.

Argentina have always had the best strikers in the world.

A season with Fiorentina in Serie A? I could certainly try again.

I've always liked England.

I want to win the Italian league. That's why I said no to Manchester United.

England's is a very solid squad, but I can't name a particular player; a team is all the players, and they're good.

I like Higuain very much, but unfortunately, he isn't contributing the way he does in Europe. He's playing very well for Juve and is in the running for a lot of trophies, but if he needs a rest, then why not give Icardi a chance?

I am preparing myself to leave football. I have always thought that once you get past 30, it is time to reflect on when you should go, and that is what I have done.
