00:00You've got somebody that is very normal.
00:03Then he walks across that wide line and what you've got is somebody that is determined to win.
00:13When the national side realized that they could have missed on him,
00:17they organized a friendly with Paraguay, the under-22s.
00:21At that time, if you played a game with the Argentina shirt, that was it,
00:25you would become just an Argentina international.
00:27He was part of the Olympic Games team in 2008 and won it, won the golden medal.
00:37He went to the World Cup final in 2014 and lost on two Copa America finals against Chile.
00:45It was too much for Leo and he thought this is not going to happen.
00:49I'm leaving the national side.
00:51When he came back, he became a stronger leader.
00:54He became one that perhaps Argentinians identified more with.
00:59It took a while, but little by little, seeing the effort that he was making, Leo,
01:04and eventually succeeded in the Copa America.
01:08From then on, people started seeing him with different eyes.
01:14He was not going to lose that one.
01:17And there was a sense of relief, as well as happiness when he went on his knees and shouted
01:23at the direction of his family, we've done it, that's it, it's done now.
01:45He never wanted to be Diego. He wanted to be a very good player for Argentina and wanted
01:50to be understood and loved by the Argentinians. If you want to choose a player that has done
01:55things, things that are extraordinary, that we've never seen before, you have to think of Messi.
