00:00It's Christmas time. I can't remember if it was the first game after Christmas or the second.
00:05We were playing against Real Madrid at the SĂĄnchez Tijuana stadium.
00:08Christmas was coming, we had a week of vacation, including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
00:12And he's not going to Argentina. He's taking his family and going to Sierra Nevada.
00:16Up there in Sierra Nevada, at altitude, he's been on a diet for eight days.
00:22He explained to me that he was eating, I think, some kind of raw meat.
00:25And what surprised us? That when we saw him coming the next day from vacation,
00:30And we said, "What happened to Diego?"
00:31This is not the Diego Armando Marana that we have known.
00:34He had lost seven or eight kilos in eight days.
00:37And do you know what the idea was? The idea was to screw over Real Madrid.
00:41That game came and I remember it was the first game we were able to see Diego taking on defenders again.
00:48Facing off, dribbling past, and getting past players of a spectacular level.
00:52What I felt with him was that he still had the ability to focus 100% on goals, but
00:59short term.
