- Are you anxious to be given the fourth consecutive Golden Ball?
-The Golden Ball will always be Leo. More with goals made in 2012! For all he does for Barcelona or when in the selection, deserves this award.
- Do you dream of ever winning the Ballon d'Or?
-I know there are many players as favorites, I know it's very difficult, but doing well, hopefully someday we can win. You always dream about being the best player in the world. The dreams always win the World Cup Champions. And of course to be the best player in the world and win the Golden Ball, every player so full of happiness.
- Selection of Sabella is the time of greatest growth?
'It was a good year. What changed was that Alexander left a computer on which it relied and maintained. A gives us confidence. There were so many changes and made good. And we were danto results. We ended the year spotless. It remains to qualify for the World Cup and we are waiting for that. We must continue on this path.
- Projecting the trident Aguero-Messi-Higuaín of titling in the World?
-The most important is to qualify as soon as possible. Because if you lose two games in these playoffs so difficult reach you soon.
- Playing by heart?
-Every time we know more from us. And we understand some plays in memory.
-Argentina is third in the FIFA rankings. And Brazil, in 18th place ...
'We're up there because we did things right. But Brazil is Brazil, and always have great players. But it makes us happy to be up in Brazil, obviously, heh. With the selection we could form a group that tries to always play solid, get playing and, says Alexander, balancing Non descompensarnos. Also we could consolidate the bench to start in the playoffs.
- The City is to repeat the title in England?
'We're good. We did not play like last year, but he is winning. And in the last two games, the City was great. We have equipment and can do things like last year. Please note that this season had many injuries of key players: Nasri, Silva, Kompany, Clichy, Micah Richards, me on one knee ... No excuse, but influences, of course.
- Zabaleta has more goals than Messi! At least, to January 4, 2013 ...
-At least until the weekend, Zaba has more goals than Leo, heh. It's amazing how Paul is playing! He always told me: "Kun, I make a goal a championship." And he replied: "Do not worry, this year you're going to do more." Zaba is fine, very plugged. It is one of the best, the most regular and plays every game of eight points up, eh? -Six months after your historic goal with City, who won the title, did you size of what you accomplished? -At first I therefore now fell. Months passed and I realized that this goal was very important. People on the street constantly reminds me. But I did not fall once, was like another world. It's very hard to get to Etihad and see the giant poster with the entire sequence of the goal ... It has been chosen by FIFA as one of the 12 moments of the year, it's amazing.
- How do you get along with the City fans?
-I get re fine. Moreover, as the reporter shouted the goal saying "Agüerooo", the fans show me their shirts with the print "Agüeroooo" across the back, ha. I'm happy. I see posters, posters with the goal, and this makes me very happy.
- But it was a failure to stay out of the Champions League?
-It was painful. Because we had high expectations. But again we had another very complicated area. The champions of Spain, the Netherlands and Germany, neither more nor less. And at that level you can win or lose. It is no use to think we were very close to start with a great result at the Bernabeu and if that had happened maybe history would have been different. But that's football and it all adds up as an experience. The Champions League is a pending subject for us and I am sure that in the future everything can be better.
- Did they live up to what was expected?
-I believe that everyone is entitled to think what you like. This is football and always will be. And it is well that we demand more. But what I find is that sometimes do not appreciate all the good he did or does this team. We are the champions of the Premier League and won the title fair and square. We won the title because he never gave up even when United had an advantage that many said was unattainable ( Ed note: eight points). Throughout the tournament were the best. So when they say that this team was spending a lot of money, as desmereciéndolo. As if the other teams have not done so. Just look at what happened in the summer market. Because to my knowledge, one of the few teams that today has many homegrown players is Barcelona. The rest, no. You have to put things in place.
- How do you handle the language? Do you speak well?
-Yes, but I'm not very expert. But gleaning me. I try to understand what I'm told my colleagues in the day. Still, now I'll start again with the English classes because he had left. I'll put the batteries to resume, I have already decided.
- But you talk better than the "very difficult" Carlitos Tevez?
- Carlos speaks well! Both understand everything, but what it costs us to get out is to speak English. Dress up, if we're wrong ...
- Do you suffer with Independent status?
He suffered a lot in the last championship, and this year will be difficult. But we have to be together, all together. Pulling in the same direction and support to players. No use heat, because these players are the ones who have to do things right. Then, from the outside, should be supported. It is clear that there will be nervousness, even happens to me being here ...
- How do you live?
And, see Independent parties and I'm nervous. But we must encourage what more you can to get ahead.
- What you have to look Cantero struggle against violent?
-Today it was independent, but there is always a theme bar with a team of Argentina. He went everywhere and now is happening to the Red. And when this happens, the player is on the court, think "uh, no mess, we are going to wait outside." We must support and be united. I was spent.
- In Independent?
-When I played, we were almost in the Promotion. I remember when there were grabbed Falcioni, but in the end the team up. I also went through this.
- Did you know that the fans campaigned to return to the country?
-Yes. I always want to support the club. But I am fulfilling my contract at City, is my laburo, is where I am and what I have to respect. In addition, people have to understand that a player does not save the club, who are 20 players trying to do his best. Understand people, who campaigned know, but my duty is here.
- Do you enjoy it even plays in Centurion Racing?
'Yes, do not argue when a player is good, although in another computer. I saw him a couple of times on TV when games go here, and I saw another kid Centurion and playing up, the Blond guys ... Vietto?? Yes, Vietto. Centurion brand shows up the difference. While Racing is against, you have to enjoy it is a great player. Still, the Red is one of my wishes for 2013.
- Did you do the balance of the past year?
-Yes. In football in 2012 was a very positive year. Both at club and national team. For me it was very important to establish myself in the City and more intense by the title I got. That was in my first year in the Premiership is even more valuable. And if something was missing, with that goal in the last minute ... It's more than I dreamed. What more could I ask for, right? -Your three wishes, what can you tell them? -Yes. In football, which follow in Independent First, try to win another title with the City and the 2014 World Cup qualifying. And personal desire is the most important of all, my family and my son are well.
"It's impossible not to wonder Benja"
The intimate Kun: talks about his new family situation, Messi's fatherhood and how we met ...
How is playing the first of January? How strange!
And it is very rare. Last year also touched me. In all countries, except England, ten days off and are still playing here. Always the case, is tradition. What surprises me most is that you play the first of the year and the field is full. It's amazing! Same is rare, because December 31 was concentrated in the City hotel.
- But at least provided or saluted?
-No, pretend it was a normal day. At 19.30 we had dinner, and went to sleep 22, like any other day. Receive sleeping 2013 ha. Moreover, I call, message, but recently I saw the other day when I woke up. At Christmas I was with my family here, but I went to bed early because the next day we had to train. So it was a toast and rest.
- You used to spend the holidays in winter?
- I do not know what heat is, haha! I have seven years in Europe, and I always winter in winter.
-If you see a photo of a beach, you head strips ...
-Yeah, ha, forget, I shot.
-You spoke of the City, of the selection. What personal level how are you?
In recent months, trying to adapt to the new stage after my separation. It is not easy because they were very intense years together and very strong experiences with Gianni. During that time he grew a lot as individuals and especially as a result of that love, we had Ben, that is a blessing. That's what I find most difficult. Because Ben is in Buenos Aires and I for logical issues in Manchester.
- And that affects everything else?
-I try not to. Because you try to be as professional as possible. I think it does not affect my athletic performance, if that's what you mean. But being away from a child is not easy. It is impossible not to miss Ben.
- Would you like to add something more about it?
-No ... I think it's the private sector and it is best to stay on that side. For the respect we have and for all that we live, it has to be.
-Messi Thiago dad was two months ago. Did you give any advice?
-Thiago before birth, we were together and asked: "How is everything? Already unborn? ". And Leo told me: "Para idiot, still missing", ha. When he was born, as a friend, I was desperate. In Arabia, when he first was born, told him to hold out at night because the baby was safe to mourn. A few days later, I asked Leo if he could sleep, and told me that the baby sleeps well re. "Uh, you were lucky to not cry, heh". He's happy. I told him that is very cute, and that having a child is the best thing that can happen. You'll slowly realizing what being a father.
It is true that the first jersey Thiago Selection ...
- She gave me! He had said he had camisetita and short for Thiago and asked me to take her to Saudi. It also gave him my shirt, but the prettiest was the little one who said Thiago.
- Does the Independiente could not sneak between gifts?
-No, he, like not going to use it. But not a bad idea, it'll give you, ja.
- How is the contact? Chat?? Do you call?
-Always. In the National Team and out, we are always in touch, talking about the things of life, like two normal friends. Sometimes I remember the day I met Leo and I laugh alone, heh,
- How did you meet?
-We were in the Under 20. I was turning 17. Formica Leo was talking about U.S. slippers, and I thought, "And where is it, where do you play?". And then he asked, "Vos's your name?". He says: "Leo". "And your last name?". "Messi". And one that was next to me asked me, "Do not you know?". And I said no, ja, and all began to laugh. When I said that playing for Barcelona, then I fell, I knew who he was. Leo always remembers laughing and shits. That put us together to focus and we became close friends. Leo is a great person.
