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

I'll be too old to face a difficult championship as the one in America will surely be.

All the people that criticised me should eat their words.

God makes me play well. That is why I always make the sign of the cross when I walk out onto the field. I feel I would be betraying Him if I didn't.

I hate everything that comes from the United States. I hate it with all my strength.

If I could apologise and go back and change history I would do. But the goal is still a goal, Argentina became world champions and I was the best player in the world

To see the ball, to run after it, makes me the happiest man in the world
