Diego Maradona's Latest Points Of View: " Lio Grew Up Learning from Dinho "

After a long interview done by the well-known argentinian journalist Fernando Niembro, Diego Maradona presented the following points of view:

- " Lio grew up learning from Ronaldinho "

- " I hope we could be able to play like Barcelona, but we don't have their squad "

- " Heinze and Otamendi will stay back defending, I don't want them to be Maicon or Ashley Cole. That's the roll for Di Maria and Jonas "

- " Nigeria and Korea will play defense against us "

- " What was Mourinho' s strategy against Barcelona? Because I did not see one "

- " Xavi is a genious. He is a unique player"

- " I don't want 10 meters of distance between my players and the rivals "

- " I am the best dribbler in history of soccer "

- " I spent hours shotting to the goalie. I want my team to take advantage of their shooting skills "

- " I want Messi to have fun in the World Cup. I need him next to Veron. Lio is capable to come from behind the midfield "

- " Mascherano is the best sweeper in his position. Veron should support him when he looses balance "

- " I don't care if we have the possesion of the ball, what I want is to win "

- " I love Jose Mourinho style, but I did not like what he did in Nou Camp "

- " I played for my dad. I was proud when the people on the streets congratulated him because of my perfomance "

- " I believe in my team. Otherwise, I won't be here "

The interview was done on the field of the Ezeiza Club, Argentina's headquarter. Diego had a ball in his hand showing a few examples of how Messi and his squad should move as a team. At the end he seemed to be calm and focus on his plan for the World Cup.
