My dream was to become a big player in Europe. But most of the stars there are either from Europe or places like Brazil and Argentina. How many come from Edmonton, where you're only supposed to play hockey? None. So yeah, I had a lot of doubts. I wondered if I had gone as far as I could.

Growing up, I loved Messi. I love how he dribbles, how he plays the game, it just makes it look so easy and it makes it look so fun.

I've played matches in Mexico, Canada and the United States. The people of North America have always welcomed me.

The message to the young players is that hard work and dedication is everything. As a footballer, or anything in life, if you're dedicated you have to fight for that and don't give up however hard it is.

We need to stop arguing about things that don't help Argentina grow.

That desire to win is something that's drummed into you at an early age in my country. In Argentina, you grow up watching great teams and important victories.

Argentina will become a model for how to transform a country into a prosperous nation. I have no doubt.

If you look at the world, there's only maybe only Brazil or Argentina that can win a World Cup that aren't in Europe.

Maradona has done a lot for his clubs, as Messi does, and for the Argentina national team.
