Argentina 4-1 Hungary: His initial World Cup goal

“I only wanted a round to go in, zero else. We’d mislaid a initial review opposite Belgium and we were adult opposite it. I’d scored goals during a U-20 World Cup though we can’t review that to a feeling we get when we measure during a World Cup proper. It’s like your silent entrance and giving we breakfast in bed. It’s pristine happiness, like when we used to give my silent a lick on a lips. There are so many things that go by your head.”

Argentina 1-3 Brazil: A red label for kicking Batista

“I spoke about it years after with Batista and I’ve pronounced it to Falcao too. At 3-1 they started to make fun of us and we don’t like losing one small bit. He pronounced to me: ‘No, Diego. That’s only a football we feel inside us’. But we know what? If we was 3 goals adult and started singing ‘Ole! Ole! Ole!’ as we stroked a round around, thereafter you’d get flattering insane too. If you’ve got a bit of blood in your veins, you’re going to get dismissed up. But yes; we kicked a wrong player. Unbelievable!”

Argentina 2-1 England: The Goal of a Century

“I never scored another idea like it. I’ve scored a few that were unequivocally formidable to put away, though this was in a World Cup. It was each kid’s dream. We all dreamed of dribbling past a lot of them, including (Peter) Shilton. we still don’t know what he did. we don’t know if ghosts or a UFO came down and took him away. He only left a idea far-reaching open for me. we only went past him and that was it!

“‘I never tire of examination it,’ as my silent used to contend to me whenever we held her examination a goals on TV. ‘Come on, Mum! Watching a goals again!’ And she’d contend to me that examination her son measure that idea done her feel totally relaxed. ‘You go if we want. I’m going to lift on examination your goals’.”

Argentina 1-0 Brazil: A enchanting support for Claudio Caniggia

“The Brazilians blamed Alemao for that goal, though we got past him flattering quickly. The one we unequivocally shrugged off and used my bend on to stop him removing during me was Dunga. So, it’s not Alemao’s error though Dunga’s. He let me get past him.

“When Cani (Claudio Caniggia) scored, we thanked God, my silent and all a saints in a world. He hardly celebrated. He only lifted his fist. Pow! As if it were nothing. When we saw him afterwards, we pronounced to him: ‘Listen, right here in a cold light of day: did we see what we did today?’ He said: ‘Yes, we scored a goal’. ‘No, we didn’t! You reduced a whole track to silence!’

“Out of honour for a Brazilians, I put a Brazil shirt on when we went behind to a sauce room. It was Careca’s. He’s my friend. But we felt as if… not as if we’d attacked Brazil though that they deserved to go by instead of Argentina. They pinned us behind a whole diversion though we won. That’s since football is a many pleasing competition in a world.”

Italy 1-1 Argentina (Argentina win 4-3 on pens): Beating Zenga from a spot

“It was flattering bizarre since when we went to penalties, a Italians were revelation me on a representation that they should have won a game. (Luigi) De Agostini and (Walter) Zenga told me a pull wasn’t a satisfactory result. But in a review like that it’s not a doubt of honourable things, is it? They had their views and we had mine!

“I’d only missed [a penalty] opposite Yugoslavia. So, when we walked from a centre round to take my flog we pronounced to myself: ‘If we skip this, you’re an idiot. If we miss, you’re a wimp, you’re a worst. You can’t misuse all a people that adore we – Mum, Dad, my brothers, a people of Argentina, everyone!’ But thereafter we got a improved of Zenga and on we went. It was me who knocked a Italians out.”
