Diego Maradona has spoken about England star Wayne Rooney, the Maradona vs Pele debate, and which club he'd like to play for if he was still playing.
Maradona said: "Rooney is a very powerful striker, he's very talented and he can take England to World Cup victory."
On who is the greatest between himself and Pele, he said while laughing: "I won't say I am the greatest. But, like everybody, I too believe my mother. And she says I'm the greatest."
The 45-year-old dismisses that he was an inspiration to youngsters in the 80s.
He said: "I believe parents are the biggest inspiration for their children and not stars who appear on the field for 90 minutes or celebrities who appear on television for a lesser period of time.
"I realised that only parents can be real examples and that's when I corrected myself. I changed my lifestyle and transformed a lot for the sake of my two daughters. Now I do everything for them."
On who he'd like to play for if he was playing today, he revealed: "I would have definitely opted for Napoli and would have beaten all these big clubs."
