“I started late.” Rock & Roll occupied too much time in my life. Not just music. The lifestyle. The last thing that could occur was to practice sports. When I returned to Buenos Aires, yes … I had athlete friends and started running and swimming. As an amateur, it gave me strong when my son played football at school and we started sharing. Now we are seeing the games together. Forgive my life because he knows much more than me.
—The love for Real Madrid, correct?
“Yes, although the truth is that I have always been quite detached to the shirt.”
-Can?
–It’s that I made my Madrid in the stage of ‘Los Rodríguez’ and for a collection, not for hobby. At that stage, there were many Argentines in the team, such as Valdano, Redondo, Cappa and our friends became. They came to the concerts and sometimes invited us to the stadium. It seemed fun. At that moment I said: “I am from Madrid.” There he was born.
“That’s why, a change is imposed.” Now it is Atleti who has the Argentines.
“Setting equipment at this point is a bit weird.” But I wouldn’t mind. The truth is that I have a weakness for the teams that play well. I am not a Taliban Madrid.
“In such a case, you choose because playing well has many optics.”
“When Barça plays well, I see her games, delighted.” Guardiola’s Barcelona is another reasons why I got hooked on football.
“You will know that PEP is a proscribed for Real Madrid.”
“Well, suddenly, seeing it every week I said:” Here is something I had never seen. ” There I hooked more.
“It seems that something similar returns, with young kids who are a cyclone.”
“It’s wonderful.” I think so. Perhaps, footballically, with another energy, with more technical, more modern. I love seeing those games.
“Getting to the teams that play well.” How do you see Real Madrid, this season?
I see him without identity, without criteria, as if he wanted to start, but without finishing it. It is based on the quality of its players, which is spectacular, but not on the collective and beautiful game.
“We chose the puddle.” You denied your selection because Videla’s Argentina did not deserve to celebrate anything.
“That was in 78. I was already in exile, because mine was an exile.” I was not the only one to criticize that. So, I was little interested football but, understanding the fear that existed in my country, I was struck by the little criticism.
“Have you done the peace?”
-Completely. I have made peace with the selection and with the music and cultural scene, which is still a lead in the world.
“Maradona or Messi?”
“I love Messi.” I am discovering more now than at the time. But I enjoyed Qatar’s World Cup. It has been tremendous. There is something in my genes of that Argentine who, when the team plays a World Cup, goes crazy.
“Are our stands Argentinizize?”
“When my Argentine friends came here, they told me that I was very boring, that nothing happened in the stands.” They are accustomed to the stadium tremble. There is one thing that I like a lot about the Argentine fans and it is very musical, very ingenious. Suddenly, the lyrics change you and it’s wonderful. It seems very good that bridges are traced in the musical and cultural. For a long time, Spain and Argentina turned their backs.

—The problem is that, in addition to songs, little edifying behaviors have also been imported.
“It’s not just fans who go out with the shirt and other symbols.” There is a lot of business behind and people who profit from people’s passion. And feed aggressiveness and hate. Beware of that.
—Your podium for 2024-25. Let’s start with the Champions Champion.
“The Barça repeats what she did with Guardiola and takes League and Champions.
“And the Copa del Rey?”
“We are going to give Atleti something.” They are playing incredible. Chemistry and motivation have returned. They deserve an award.
“Do you say it for Julián Álvarez?”
“It’s divine.” When I hear him talk, I am very surprising that tone of voice so Argentine, so sharp. I love it. The World Cup that did …
“Above everything, it’s brave.” That of leaving everything to come to captain a new project is atypical.
“That’s what I support.” The same in football than in music. When you have already reached a position, you have to do what you want. Do not think about following that purely commercial point. Have convictions. And decide that this is what you want to do, who you want to do it with and how. I value it and applaud it.
“You are the first Argentine with whom I have to live a second time, I would still not want to be a footballer.”
“I played very small football.” But I dedicate myself to rock that, next to a footballer’s, is the most relaxed life that exists. For me, it would be a nightmare to have to follow a discipline like the one that a footballer follows. I don’t see myself. People idealizes her. The demand is a lot. And they can’t go out at night (je, je).
“Don’t believe.” Some have been and sometimes not even showed.
“What I would have liked is to know how to play football.” When I returned to Argentina, in 86, I was surprised that my fellow musicians all played football. All. On the tours, there is always a ball in the van. And when we stop to take something, they immediately look for a camp and start playing. With his long hairs and having transposed ..
