Mauricio Pochettino

And it's normal, no?

In 1986, when they won the World Cup in Mexico, I really understood the game and started to watch football, no?

But...

I was always, when I moved to Rosario to play in Newell's Old Boys, I was 13 years old and where I was living always was my picture of Maradona with 1996, the World Cup.

And one day that I was in Newell's in 1993, he appeared in Newell's Old Boys and went to play for Newell's Old Boys.

And it's not only this, that the first game that we are going to play, he was with me in the room.

I was with him, sorry.

I was with him.

I was there.

I asked permission, say, oh, Diego, I can't sit here.

I can't put this in this bed.

And in this moment, we said, oh, my dream come true.

More than this, no?

And for me,

because it's difficult to judge because only I've seen him like my hero, he didn't disappoint me.

That was the important thing.

Because sometimes you meet your heroes and disappoint you.

But that is, for me, was amazing because I remember when he played in Australia for the qualification to go to the World Cup in 1994,

Another team mate was already in this squad and we were in a bar taking a coffee before to go to sleep to the room and another team mate say, oh Mauricio, Diego bring something from you because my team mate bring a chair like this.

No, Diego forgot me, forgot me and didn't bring nothing.
