“Penalty is the most “cowardly” way to score a goal”.

“Everything is practice.”

“I don’t agree that there are born footballers. Maybe you are born with certain skills and talents, but to be honest, I don’t believe anyone is born to be a top class footballer.”

“If you are the first, you are the first. If you are the second, no one.”

“The harder the victory, the greater the happiness it brings.”

“People argue, Pele or Maradona. Di Stefano is the best, he is more complete.”
