参考消息网10月13日报道 “It was a huge source of pride for me to defend this jersey for more than 20 years. Even in the worst moments we went through and that I had, I never stopped fighting, never stopped being here. Not coming anymore is going to be deeply painful. I swear I'd like to play for the rest of my life, because playing for the Argentina national team is the most beautiful thing that can happen to you.”

“身披这件战袍征战二十余年，是我莫大的荣耀。即便在我们、在我个人经历的至暗时刻里，我也从未停止拼搏，从未离开。今后不能再为国出战，会让我无比痛苦。我真想一辈子踢下去，因为代表阿根廷国家队出战，是人生所能拥有的最美好的事。”(法新社)
