Post World Cup Interview

Interviewer: "Leo, your dream has come true. You can bring the trophy home now."
Lionel: "Yes, we've done it. We couldn't have asked for more. I thank god for everything he gave me, for this outcome, for this trophy that I dreamt of, my team-mates and Argentina too. What can I say... we're world champions."
Interviewer: "As always, you would give this to the whole team, no? They gave it their all. Their physical and football skills were put to the test. The whole team deserved this award, right?"
Lionel: "I'm not going to analyze the match now, there's no need. We were destined to be world champions and we are. The game developed as it did, but this is not the time for analysis, but for celebration."
Interviewer: "What would you say to the people? Is this your last World Cup match? Do you think it is?"
Lionel: "As I've said before, it is. I'd say they should wait for us, we're coming home to celebrate with them."
