A football team represents a way of being, a culture.
It is a game before a product, a sport before a market, a show before a business.
For me football is more about making the right pass at the right time.
What Zidane can do with a football, Maradona could do with an orange.
For me, football is just a game, not a drama.
Beckham in Paris will certainly be good for shopping. I love this player but he is not the footballer he was. And if he comes to Paris now it will be to do something other than football.
A football match should be decided by an action of play. Not some contrived process whose end result is to mark a fine player such as Bossis, Baresi or Baggio for the rest of his career.
I was playing the best football of my career at the time, finishing top scorer in Italy three year's running. There were other good players around but I think I was the best at that time.
