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.
