00:00Pressure, you know who has it?

00:03The man who goes to work at 4 in the morning

00:07and can't take 100 pesos home.

00:11He has pressure.

00:14Because he has to feed his children.

00:17I don't have pressure.

00:19I have the pot full.

00:21Thank God.

00:30Diego Maradona is non-stop drama.

00:37He likes chaos.

00:39Diego likes trouble.

00:41And if everything is calm and peaceful,

00:43he will create trouble.

00:56Diego came from a really bad,

00:58really tough childhood.

01:00And he came from like a poverty that you cannot imagine.

01:03When he was really young, he lived in a very, very poor village.

01:06And it's a time when people didn't have toilets in their homes.

01:09You had to go outside to go to the toilet.

01:12And when he was a kid, he fell in a cesspit.

01:16A cesspit is like an outside toilet.

01:18And he nearly drowned.

01:28Diego Maradona is a great artist.

01:31He is a great footballer.

01:33He is a great footballer.

01:45I don't see myself as an artist,

01:47but as a footballer, simply.

01:49A footballer who plays a little better than the others.

01:59The price is decided by the bosses.

02:01I don't know if I am well paid or not.

02:04But if you ask Maradona,

02:06he will tell you that he is worth much more than 14 billion lire.

02:09He took a team that had never won anything,

02:12and he won the toughest league championship in the world at the time.

02:29Diego Maradona is the best footballer of all time.

02:33No matter what you've heard or seen,

02:35he's the best football player of all time.

02:37He had the most dramatic life.

02:39He won the World Cup.

02:41Pretty much, he was the best player of a bad team.

02:44He won it on his own.

02:58It's been three weeks since Diego Maradona has been released.

03:04Diego Maradona plays two matches in the European Union.

03:08The first time, when I took cocaine,

03:10I was suspended and that's fine.

03:12I made a mistake.

03:13I didn't say the opposite.

03:15But the second time,

03:17I think it's deeper than that.

03:19Because I was suspended,

03:21I got into a fight,

03:23I was hypothermic once,

03:25I think it's totally unfair, because the Ephedrine does nothing.

03:55We pay homage to him in life. This is pure logic, because we say that football is a religion.

04:05Every religion has a god. Diego is the god of football.

04:08I'm not a god, I'm just a simple player.

04:13You have to realize that you can make mistakes, you can make mistakes,

04:29and you can lose everything.

04:33I can have a heart with a little hole,

04:39and that little hole is going to expand over time.

04:45I think my heart is going to be in synchronization,

04:53my heart, my mind, my soul.

05:02I don't know anything.

05:21I don't even have 40,000 euros to pay,

05:30but I hope I don't ruin it.

05:46This film that Mir makes has all the ingredients to know who Maradona is, who Diego is.

06:00I don't know how to talk about Maradona,

06:08it's like talking about Pope Pius.

06:21How do I take care of myself? I make love.

06:27I always have the same desire.

06:30The people who hired me trust me to apply my principles.

06:57I've had a lot of setbacks in my life,

07:02and today I'm 57 years old,

07:05and I assume this responsibility as someone who has a son in her arms.
