00:00The pressure, do you know who has it?

00:20The man who goes to work at 4 in the morning

00:25in the morning and can't take 100 pesos home.

00:30He has pressure because he has to feed his children.

00:35I don't have pressure. I have a full pot, thank God.

00:40This is how it is.

00:54Diego Maradona is like just non-stop drama, drama, drama.

00:57He likes chaos. Diego likes trouble.

01:00And if everything is calm and peaceful, he will create trouble.

01:11Diego came from a really bad, really tough childhood.

01:14And he came from like a poverty that you could not imagine.

01:17When he was really young, he lived in a very, very poor village.

01:20And it's a time when people didn't have toilets in their homes.

01:23You had to go outside to go to the toilet.

01:26And when he was a kid, he fell in a cesspit.

01:30A cesspit is like an outside toilet. And he nearly drowned.

01:40Diego plays like a professional football player.

02:04I don't consider myself an artist. I am like a professional footballer.

02:07Footballers who play a little better than the others.

02:18The price is decided by the bosses.

02:20I don't know if I'm well paid or not.

02:22But if you ask Maradona,

02:24he will tell you that he is worth much more than 14 billion lire.

02:28He took a team that had never won anything

02:31and he won the toughest league championship in the world at the time.

02:37Maradona is the best footballer of all time.

02:56Diego Maradona is the best footballer of all time.

03:00No matter what you've heard or seen,

03:02he's the best football player of all time.

03:04He had the most dramatic life.

03:06He won the World Cup.

03:07Pretty much, he was the best player of a bad team.

03:10He won it on his own.

03:37The first time when I took cocaine,

03:40I was suspended.

03:41I made a mistake.

03:42I didn't say the opposite.

03:43But the second time,

03:45I think it's totally unfair.

03:47Totally unfair.

03:48Because ephedrine doesn't do anything.

04:07We honor him in life.

04:09This is pure logic.

04:11Because we say that football is a religion.

04:13Every religion has a god.

04:15Diego is the god of football.

04:16I'm not a god.

04:18I'm just a simple player.

04:36What do you think about the future of football?

04:40I think that we can make some mistakes.

04:46We can have some problems.

04:48We can lose things.

04:51We can have a heart with a little hole.

04:58I think that those holes are going to be tremendous

05:01over time.

05:04I think my heart is going to be in sync.

05:12My heart, my mind, my soul.

05:34What do you think about the future of football?

05:38I don't know.

05:40I don't dream that I'm going to be 40 or 50 years old.

05:46I don't dream of becoming 40 or 50 years old.

05:48I just want to play football.

05:50I want to live without getting hurt.

06:03This film that Mir makes has all the ingredients to know who Maradona is, who Diego is.

06:25Talking about Maradona is like talking about Pope Pius, I don't know.

06:33Maradona is a man who has a lot of love for his country.

06:40How do I take care of myself? I make love.

06:46I always have the same desire. The people who have hired me trust me to apply my principles.

06:53Maradona is a man who has a lot of love for his country.

06:59Maradona is a man who has a lot of love for his country.

07:03Maradona is a man who has a lot of love for his country.

07:16I've had a lot of bad things in my life.

07:22I'm 57 years old.

07:24And I assume this responsibility as someone who has a son in his arms.

07:54And then he comes back. He's great. He's going to win again. He's brilliant.

07:56And then it goes wrong and he dies again.

07:58So his whole story is one cycle from very young.

08:02Everyone thinks he's finished and then he will come back.
