I always told Leo, 'I'm not your friend, I love you like a son.'

We went through many, many bad times.

In an interview, I said something very nice,

that we didn't have ten years, that…

we didn't realize in ten years

all the harm we did to him and that we didn't know how to enjoy and understand him.

So, now that the time is getting shorter—a year and a half, two years, three years—

we want everything with him.

And we spent ten years criticizing him over and over.

During those bad times, did it make you angry

to hear what you heard about Leo from a sector of the country?

I suppose you must have had sad thoughts.

He doesn't like all that stuff about…

you wanting to get angry or speak out,

you know, always keeping a low profile, and he always told me,

I don't remember, he got very angry with me,

toward journalists and things that treated him badly.

And he said to me, "Why are you getting angry?

We have to keep working.

Keep quiet, we have to work.

There's something we're doing wrong.

Let's keep working.

What tattoo do you have of any of these idols,

or of whoever your idol is, or which one are you missing?

And my idol is engraved on me, Leo's.

And I went and told him, "Sign 2005."

Here's the signature, I'm going to take off my sock, right?

Please, yes, yes.

2005, there you have it.

This is Leo Messi's signature.

That's it.

And it's been with you since, of course, when he hadn't achieved...

Anything. This one is indeed my idol.

This is my true idol.

2005.

You're an idol and a visionary.

And a visionary.

It's fine if everyone gets it.

Sure.

I got it in 2005.

Did you tell Messi?

That I was going to get it tattooed.

Give me your signature I want to get it tattooed.

What did you say you're going to tattoo, Bordo?

He wrote it, signed it and I went to get it tattooed.
