For me, practice and discipline are the magic words to become big in any sport, especially soccer.

I do not like football. It is just my profession.

I could have become an E.U. player if I'd wanted to, but I am, and prefer to remain, Argentine.

I received many offers - namely from Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Milan - but I preferred the tranquillity of playing for Fiorentina.

I felt terrible when I went to Roma because I hadn't fulfilled the expectations of the Florentines.

It's fun to have wingers that cross the ball for you, but when two intelligent No. 9s play together, they understand each other better than with the wingers.
