I'M THE LUCKIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD!!!

I HAVE ACHIEVED TWO INTERVIEWS WITH
TWO VERY IMPORTANT PERSONS!!

MESSI AND MARADONA!!

Messi's interview:

Me: Good Morning Leo. In the latest years you've been a delicate player, you've suffered leg injuries. But this year no, by the moment. What's your secret?

Messi: "No, yo creo que en estos momentos eso passa por questiones de suerte. Si tiene que pasarte te pasará. Tuve la mala suerte de que estuve un año seguido con lesiones pero ahora estoy bien y sigo haciendo lo mismo que hacia cuando me lesioné: cuidandome, comiendo bien.."

Me: OK, you're a good boy. Last year, Frank Rijhard said goodbye to Barcelona and Guardiola arribed as a coach. Wht has he changed in the team? Or how has he influenced you and your teammates?

Messi: (more a less) "Cada entrenador tiene su manera y nosotros tenemos que entenderla y intentar adaptarnos al máximo. Cambiaron muchas cosas. Vino un entrenador nuevo y es normal que cambie. Nosotros vimos su capacidad para entrenar. En primera instancia pensamos que un entrenador tan joven es dificil que lleve a un equipo tan grande pero Guardiola entiende mucho de futbol y entonces no hace falta experiéncia."

Me: Yeah, I understand it. Can you see the fact of winning the Spanish League and the Champions?

Messi: (more a less) "Seria espectacular poder ganar los dos torneos pero primero tenemos que ir a por la liga y luego, poquito a poquito, iremos a por la Champions. La Champions es un trofeo muy dificil donde hay equipos muy buenos, por ejemplo el Lyon ahora, y debemos hacer nuestro futbol y hacer lo que podamos.



Me: Thanks Leo

Maradona's interview:

Me: Good morning Maradona. People say that you and your friend Marcelo wanted to vote for Ronaldo instead of Messi in the Fifa's best player. Is this true?

Maradona: "Como van a decir que Marcelano y yo vamos a escoger a Cristiano Ronaldo como mejor jugador del mundo sabiendo que es Messi. No podemos elegir argentinos."

Me: Yeah, I think the same. Let's talk about the Argentina national team. Now, you've been chose to be the coach. How do you feel?

Maradona: "Que para mi es un gran honor y he cumplido un sueño, el de poder estar hoy como seleccionador de Argentina al lado de Carlos. Quiero decirles que voy a poner todo lo que haga falta para que las cosas vayan bién y tenemos la tranquilidad de saber que nos podemos levantar todas las mañanas estando la selección argentina donde debe estar. Quiero asegurar que trabajaremos duro para que la selección mejore."

Me: I hope you'll be a lovely trainer. Mmm, I'm sorry but is time to talk about a topic that you hate. Yes, I mean your problems with drugs. At this moment you don't have any dependence. What do you think about yourself?

Maradona: "Asumo mis errores y me duele porque he hecho daño a aquellos que amo."

My opinion:

Well, first of all I wanna say that both, Messi and Maradona, are or were excellent footballers. Is true that Maradona has ahieved lots of awards and he has scored goals that earned a championchip but in my opinion Messi is better. And I say that because I think that nowadays football is more difficult than before. At this moment a humble team, if they work hard, can beat one of "The Bigs" of Europe like Milan, Manchester, Liverpool... Is for this reason that I think that Messi will do more for his team than Maradona will do. Because it's true that Messi is still very young. But I want to say thanks for Maradona for making us feeling pleasure seeing his great goals. And I want to say thanks for Messi for the same and encourage him to improve more.
