On October 30, 1960, Diego Maradona was born in a poor family in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He and Pele, the budding corner kicker, had their birthdays just seven days apart. And seven days, it happened to be the time when God created the world. When
got his first ball in his life at the age of three, perhaps he already understood that this is the best way for him to escape poverty. In this way, Maradona made his debut in the Al A A League at the age of 14, played for the national team at the age of 16, won the A A Golden Boot at the age of 17, and joined Boca Youth at the age of 21; During the time, he broke through the European Union and played for Barcelona, Naples and Seville; he returned to his hometown at the end of his career and joined the Newell Old Boys team until his retirement. Maybe his club career didn't look so brilliant. Today's South American stars with a little popularity may have a similar trajectory. But Maradona is different. He was born for football and for victory. A A champion, Spanish Copa del Rey champion, Spanish Super Cup champion, Serie A champion, Coppa Italia champion, Italian Super Cup champion, UEFA Cup champion...For those avid fans, Maradona is the team’s savior. He is the godfather of the stadium and the absolute hero of the city. Z1z
As a person, Maradona has mixed reputations. He is licentious, drug-addicted, and alcoholic. If there is no achievement in the football field, he is a heinous criminal. We can hate him for ten thousand reasons, but we only need one reason to admire, respect and love him, and that is football. In the 1986 World Cup shortly after the end of the Falklands War, the Argentine who was defeated in the war met England in the quarter-finals. Before the game, not many people thought that the England team with superstars such as Rheinkel would lose the game, but Maradona used a hand of God and a solo ride of five people to break the English dream of promotion. In that special era, Maradona won the "war in peace" and won the lost dignity for Argentina. How many people are hovering between love and hate for him, but in that enthusiastic stadium, I believe that everyone except the English will choose to smile at him. In the end, the Argentina team got their wish and won the World Cup. Since then, in Argentina, the name Maradona has almost become synonymous with heroes and idols. In this country where football loves more than anything else, Maradona’s appearance can bring tears to everyone’s eyes, and his goals can make all opponents and fans bow their heads, the words "Diego Maradona" It can even be compared with Evita Veron.
football is the best spiritual home for Argentines to forget all the pain and suffering, and Maradona is the best gift God has given them. Blue Argentina, blue Poca youth and blue Naples shared this gift together.
He loves football and even loves his life. At the end of his career, before retiring, he had already started his coaching career without obtaining a coaching certificate. But his talent in coaching seems not as good as playing football. In 2008, he became the coach of the Argentine national team. Just two years later, he was swept 4-0 by the German team and resigned in the World Cup in South Africa. Although he had a poor record during his coaching period, he still left a deep impression on the picture of him wearing leather shoes to show players a free kick. After class, despite his poor health, out of his love for football, he "wandered" in small and medium clubs in West Asia and South America and continued to use his influence and ability to contribute his strength to the football world. In his home country, Argentina, he continued to promote football, subsidized poor young players, and personally communicated with young players. Continue to glow. I remember that the old horse watched the match in Argentina not long ago. When Messi scored a goal, the sick old horse roared up to the sky and seemed to see his shadow decades ago. Unfortunately, until the day that Maradona left the world, he did not see another star on the chest of the Argentina national team jersey.
Ten months ago, Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash. Today, ten months later, Diego Maradona left us. To a certain extent, the two of them are surprisingly similar: both are the top stars in their fields in the corresponding era, they are geniuses, and they are eager to win; but they are also wild and unruly, and they cause trouble. Those who love them are crazy, and those who hate them are at odds with them. But when they all left us suddenly, maybe we only discovered that those love and hate turned into a kind of sympathy, evenI regret my previous curses.
Our generation grew up watching Kobe's game, so when Kobe left, we were weeping. When Maradona left today, our sadness and touch did not seem so deep. This does not mean that Maradona is not great enough. When we grew up and cheered in the Champions League between Messi and Ronaldo, our parents always dismissed it. They believed that only Maradona was the real king. Indeed, football is a team sport, but Maradona is an exception. He took the personal heroism of football to the extreme. When he touched the ball, a chemical reaction seemed to take place on the court, and everything on the ball seemed to be controlled by him. Pablo Aimar, Dale Sandro, Saviola, and even Messi have all become the successors of Lao Ma. But none of them can truly imitate the essence of the old horse, no one can achieve the achievements of the old horse, and no one waits to reach the status of the old horse in the hearts of the Argentines.
At the beginning of the year, God fell in love with basketball and took away Kobe Bryant; ten months later, at the end of the year, God fell in love with football again and took away Diego Maradona. Zidane once said: I don't want people to compare me with Maradona, because he is not a player on this planet. Now, Maradona left our world, he went home. God broke through the defense of all of us and took back the gift given to Argentina and the hand of God created on June 22, 1986.
