00:00Pressure, you know who has it?
00:03The man who goes to work at 4 in the morning
00:07and can't take 100 pesos home.
00:11He has pressure.
00:14Because he has to feed his children.
00:17I don't have pressure.
00:19I have the pot full.
00:21Thank God.
00:30Diego Maradona is non-stop drama.
00:37He likes chaos.
00:39Diego likes trouble.
00:41And if everything is calm and peaceful,
00:43he will create trouble.
00:56Diego came from a really bad,
00:58really tough childhood.
01:00And he came from like a poverty that you cannot imagine.
01:03When he was really young, he lived in a very, very poor village.
01:06And it's a time when people didn't have toilets in their homes.
01:09You had to go outside to go to the toilet.
01:12And when he was a kid, he fell in a cesspit.
01:16A cesspit is like an outside toilet.
01:18And he nearly drowned.
01:28Diego Maradona is a great artist.
01:31He is a great footballer.
01:33He is a great footballer.
01:45I don't see myself as an artist,
01:47but as a footballer, simply.
01:49A footballer who plays a little better than the others.
01:59The price is decided by the bosses.
02:01I don't know if I am well paid or not.
02:04But if you ask Maradona,
02:06he will tell you that he is worth much more than 14 billion lire.
02:09He took a team that had never won anything,
02:12and he won the toughest league championship in the world at the time.
02:29Diego Maradona is the best footballer of all time.
02:33No matter what you've heard or seen,
02:35he's the best football player of all time.
02:37He had the most dramatic life.
02:39He won the World Cup.
02:41Pretty much, he was the best player of a bad team.
02:44He won it on his own.
02:58It's been three weeks since Diego Maradona has been released.
03:04Diego Maradona plays two matches in the European Union.
03:08The first time, when I took cocaine,
03:10I was suspended and that's fine.
03:12I made a mistake.
03:13I didn't say the opposite.
03:15But the second time,
03:17I think it's deeper than that.
03:19Because I was suspended,
03:21I got into a fight,
03:23I was hypothermic once,
03:25I think it's totally unfair, because the Ephedrine does nothing.
03:55We pay homage to him in life. This is pure logic, because we say that football is a religion.
04:05Every religion has a god. Diego is the god of football.
04:08I'm not a god, I'm just a simple player.
04:13You have to realize that you can make mistakes, you can make mistakes,
04:29and you can lose everything.
04:33I can have a heart with a little hole,
04:39and that little hole is going to expand over time.
04:45I think my heart is going to be in synchronization,
04:53my heart, my mind, my soul.
05:02I don't know anything.
05:21I don't even have 40,000 euros to pay,
05:30but I hope I don't ruin it.
05:46This film that Mir makes has all the ingredients to know who Maradona is, who Diego is.
06:00I don't know how to talk about Maradona,
06:08it's like talking about Pope Pius.
06:21How do I take care of myself? I make love.
06:27I always have the same desire.
06:30The people who hired me trust me to apply my principles.
06:57I've had a lot of setbacks in my life,
07:02and today I'm 57 years old,
07:05and I assume this responsibility as someone who has a son in her arms.
