"I would like to show the trophy to Naples as it is a very special city, where I grew up. I used to play football in the streets of Naples," he said.

"I would love to show it to the kids who are in difficulty over there."

"Diego is someone very special in Naples. If I am proud for Naples to win this award, I cannot say I am even close of Maradona in this city," he said.
