One year after the death of Diego Armando Maradona, one of the greatest legends in the history of football.
Throughout his playing career, he has had great friends in the different teams he played for and here we recall some of them.
Great friends who shared the glory in the 1986 World Cup. They have had some fights, but it is one of the great friends that football left 10.
The two formed an unforgettable duo in Napoli and were good friends. “I always considered him my personal friend. Maradona was generous on and off the field of play. With Claudia Villafañe and her two daughters, Gianinna and Dalma who are the same age as my daughters Aline and Ellen and were classmates at school, we spent a lot time together. We lived very close because we had a very good relationship between the families. Diego came to my house to eat Brazilian food that drove him crazy. I went up to his house on Wednesdays and Thursdays to spend time with the family. A very deep friendship was formed with him, “he declared after the idol’s death.
Brindisi and Maradona formed a great friendship, both on and off the field of play. They were the figures of the Metropolitan of 1981, Diego’s only title in Boca.
Sergio Goycochea and Diego Maradona had a great friendship that transcended football. Beyond what they experienced in the 1990 World Cup, together they shared many moments outside the field of play and affection was always present.
Champions at the 1986 World Cup, they formed a great friendship that lasted until the last day. Diego had to suffer the death of his friend and dismissed him with an emotional message: “Those of us who enjoy your friendship, we will never forget you. You scored a goal in the final of a World Cup, you played with a broken shoulder, and you knew how much the world cup weighs. May you rest in peace “
Monchi and Maradona shared a squad in Seville and have great anecdotes together. “We had a good relationship, we used to walk a lot when we traveled and in one of those I had a watch and he said: ‘What a good watch, is it a Rolex?’ I told him: ‘It’s a Trolex, because it’s fake, I don’t have money to buy a Rolex. Ten days later he invited me to dinner at his house with Claudia and the girls. After dinner he came with a bag with a Cartier and told me: ‘Here, so you don’t have to wear any more fake watches,’ “he said after his death.
Another World Champion in 1986 and who always had friendship and affection off the field. “We are leaving a friend, a leader, the best player we had by our side, with his own ideals and we have to fire him with the greatness he deserves,” he published after his death.
