Letting go of its good players, like Özil, the ones who know how to play football – that did surprise me.

What Messi does is terrifying. It’s indescribable magic. You can’t analyze it.

It’s ugly to compare but the greatest was Pele. If we believe that God made ​​man, the “black” PelГ© he made him perfect. He gave him everything. He lacked nothing, header, physical power, dribbling, finishing, inspiration, genius, temper, vision, goal. Everything.

To be a footballer means being a privileged interpreter of the feelings and dreams of thousands of people.
