Emotional Reflection on World Cup Experience
And I promised my daughters,
above all else. I couldn't speak.
I don't even want it to be clear to the Argentines that I took drugs.
I don't want to dramatize,
but believe me, they cut my legs off.
Exactly. Those who are by my side, those who are still by my side.
And those who were, because we were playing the whole World Cup.
Now they took us out of the World Cup, they took away our dream.
And, above all else,
I don't think they took me out of football for good,
because I don't think I want another rematch.
My arms are down,
my soul is shattered.
It can't be, I don't think so.
I promised my wife I wouldn't make it.
And I promised my daughters, above all else. I couldn't speak.
I don't even want it to be clear to the Argentines that I took drugs.
That I didn't run because of drugs,
I ran with my heart and for the jersey. Nothing else.
What did your teammates tell you?
Did they cry with me?

Y le prometí a mis hijas, por sobre todas las cosas. No pude hablar. Yo ni quiero que quede claro a los argentinos que yo me drogué. No quiero dramatizar, pero créanme que me cortaron las piernas.
Exacto. Los que están al lado mío, los que siguen estando al lado mío. Y los que estaban, porque estábamos jugando todo el mundial. Ahora nos sacaron del mundial, nos sacaron de la ilusión. Y, por sobre todas las cosas, a mí no creo que me sacaran del fútbol definitivamente,
porque no creo que quiera otra revancha. Tengo los brazos caídos, tengo el alma destrozada. No puede, no creo. Le prometí a mi mujer que no iba a llegar.
Y le prometí a mis hijas, por sobre todas las cosas. No pude hablar. Yo ni quiero que quede claro a los argentinos que yo me drogué. Que no corrí por la droga, corrí por el corazón y por la camiseta. Nada más. Qué te dijeron tus compañeros?
