00:22Well, it's been a pleasure to talk to you and Argentina very well, very optimistic.
00:28After winning the Cup of America, I think the group of players has taken a great weight on it,
00:35since we've been here for a long time to celebrate such an important title like the Cup of America.
00:41And I think the people are very excited, that's the word.
00:45There is a very big illusion of the Argentine public, after the group of players that has been formed.
00:52The union, I think, in this selection, made us see a very united group,
00:59a group that really all throw to the same side.
01:02There are also very important individualities that play very well in football,
01:05but I think in all this time, it was a very united group.
01:19Well, I think it's a process, because Jose is very beloved here in Colombia.
01:25I had it for a long time in my career, it was practically 15 years old.
01:31And then, in 2006, we were in the World Championship in Germany.
01:36So, I spent a lot of time with him, I was able to meet him, he helped me a lot.
01:41He has been, practically, he has demonstrated a lot of value, a lot of humility,
01:47and, well, they have been very important throughout my career, not only in football.
01:52And, well, I think that Colombia has benefited a lot, too, to have a team like Jose.
02:00He has left a door very open, very big to what he came after,
02:06with so many great players that have happened,
02:08with a process in which he has been involved,
02:11that the Colombian team has gone very well.
02:14And that's why I think the people love it so much.
02:16Jose has made a lot of love, he has had very good years here in Colombia,
02:21and it's not a coincidence that the people have so much appreciated.
02:33Yes, well, now, maybe not so much as it was before,
02:37but yes, the players keep coming out,
02:39we have players like Vinicius, like Luis Díaz,
02:44from here in Colombia,
02:45who, for me, is a very good player,
02:46who really has something that has a lot of pottero,
02:50that you see with a lot of technique, with a very good player.
02:56And I hope that those players keep coming out of that class,
02:59that those players don't die ever,
03:01because the spectator wants to see something different,
03:05wants to see players with a lot of injuries,
03:08players that really make something different in a field,
03:12because, well, the football has evolved so much,
03:14that now it's more physical,
03:18it runs more,
03:19there's much more speed than what there was before.
03:22So, players like this,
03:23sincerely, I hope they keep coming out.
03:26How do you do it?
03:32Did you not need them?
03:32No, not, no, no,
03:33because I needed them, no,
03:34I, no, I, no, no.
03:34I, no, you, no, I, no,
03:36I, no, I, no, you, no, I, no,
03:37I, no, I, no, I, no, I, there is so much as a field of gym,
03:40I, no, I, no, I, no, I didn't do that,
03:42I didn't do that and so much as a field,
03:42because it was not what it was beneficial to me as a youth,
03:44but it was really hard,
03:46I knew that for the football,
03:48in which we are,
03:49in which we are,
03:50we need a little more effort,
03:51so,
03:52So, I've lived it that way, I've tried to change my body a little bit without doing too much,
03:59because what I always benefited me was the speed, the agility,
04:04having that concentration in the field, and well, I knew that if I did too much gymnasium
04:12and other things, it would be perjudicial to my way of playing.
04:22Well, he's a great player, we're talking about one of the great projects that Argentina has,
04:32he's still very young, so he still has a lot of time to travel,
04:37and for the Argentinian football it's very important,
04:39players like Dybala, like Papu Gomez, like a lot of players who have released this last Copa America,
04:46they're very young and still have a lot of time to travel.
04:50So, I think Dybala, if he continues on this path, I don't know if he looks like it,
04:55but if he continues on this path, he'll probably be among the best players in the world.
05:08I think that to Xavi, the first thing that he has to save is the courage that he had to
05:12get to the Barça,
05:13not in a difficult time, difficult time, where in big clubs everything makes bigger than what it is,
05:21and well, he has been able to take that moment, he has taken a difficult time,
05:28in a difficult time, and well, it's been a bit of a change,
05:32it's been a difficult time, it's been a difficult time,
05:35it's been a difficult time, it's been a difficult time,
05:36but yes, that change is existing, and I don't have any doubts that Xavi,
05:40with his capacity and what we talked about earlier, he was born in the club,
05:44he has the philosophy that the Barça needs,
05:48so, well, I hope that he goes very well,
05:50because I'm, apart from being my football partner,
05:54he has also been a friend in football.
