I miss her, and I miss her: but there is no serious personal problem. I'll be back for you. Rome is my whole life, but I will also leave a part of my heart here at Boca Juniors. I will come back to watch the Boca games in La Bombonera. I will not forget this club. My future? I will definitely continue to work in football.

I'm sad because I wanted to play another ten years, but I'm 36 and this is the time to say enough to focus on other things. If I think I won't play anymore I feel bad, but I'm happy to have played many important games and everything that has happened in my life. "
