As with almost all the characters that have passed through Argentine soccer, Diego Armando Maradona has had ups and downs with Juan Sebastián Verón, with whom he shared a squad in Boca Juniors and later directed it in the Argentine National Team during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
“For the players of our time, arriving in Italy was reaching Maradona’s football. We got up to see Diego’s Napoli. Going to San Paolo the first time, with everything it represented “, the current Vice President of Students (LP) began in dialogue with ESPN.
He immediately regretted the conversation he was unable to have with “Pelusa”, who passed away on November 25, 2020: “I would have liked, I would have loved to have a talk. I wanted to have it, but it was difficult. In the middle there was a recommendation of ‘look who is no longer him’. And it couldn’t “, he claimed.
“There was a lot of talk. It is difficult to speak, it is complex not to have an answer on the other side, but I know well the relationship I had, I know well what I did at that time within the national team, that apart from playing, without having the title, I was entrusted with other issues that were very around. And I had a chat with him after the first game. I know well what he told me and what I told him ”, then revealed the “Little Witch”.
“There remains the sadness of someone who, as soccer players, marked us a lot. Those we share as partners, that stage of selection, beyond the stories and everything that happened around, it is a pity not to have it. It really is a shame. They should have taken care of him much more ”, he ended lamenting.
