One year after the death of Diego Armando Maradona, who physically left us on November 25, 2020, the entire soccer planet continues to miss him, since despite the fact that he had retired from professional soccer a long time ago, the star continued to be linked to sport being a coach, honored in every stadium he stepped on and throwing unforgettable phrases.
Next, we will play with the imagination a bit and review, in a playful way, the competitions of the recent past and of the present time and what the “Fluff” would think about them. Let’s get started.
“Now they put Scaloni on. Scaloni is a great boy but he can’t direct or traffic. How are we going to give the Argentine National Team to Scaloni! Are we all crazy? With all the people who passed by, who broke his teeth and his head … Do you put Scaloni on? And Scaloni says “I’m ready”. But I never saw you score a goal for Argentina “, Diego had shot before the then inexperienced DT of the selected one.
We all know that Argentina won the Copa América 2021 under the tutelage of Scaloni, who devised a more than interesting team with a marked identity, to beat Brazil in the very final of the Maracana. That title took even more value because the national team He had been 28 years without titles in the Major, so I imagine Maradona would have said the following: “I want to give credit to Scaloni for having earned the respect of the players, both Messi and the other boys showed that they felt comfortable with him and something that had been sought for a long time was achieved”, minimizing his previous sayings, putting them aside.
Italy won the Euro again after 53 years after defeating England on penalties. The victory that Sunday, a day after the consecration of Argentina in the Maracana, was a golden return of Italian football to the international scene, after in 2018 it was excluded from the World Cup for the first time since 1958. “I want to congratulate all the Italian people, especially the Neapolitan people. They deserve it more than anyone. Argentina and Italy, my two loves, were continental champions and I can’t take more than joy”, Diego would have been excited.
This is for you, Diego. How much would we pay for Maradona to find out about the organization of the match between the winners of the Eurocup and the Copa América, his two loves Italy and Argentina, who will face a single match in June 2022 to define the champion of the EuroAmerican Cup? Even what we don’t have. Maybe I would have thrown something like “Soccer is the most beautiful and healthiest sport in the world. There is no doubt to anyone “, as he did in his farewell party. “I will be present there, as always. I will not be able to hold back the tears. Although I want Argentina to win half to zero, heh.”
Twelve of the biggest teams in Europe wanted to play their own elite league, which challenged the values and customs of the world’s most popular sport. Diego, from the town, would have exploded since the most humble teams on the planet were eliminated. I think it would have resembled this statement by Gary Neville: “This is a criminal act against fans. It is a shame. This is pure greed.”. And I would have added: “I am not surprised that Napoli has not joined. These dolls want to kill football, folklore, so that the weakest can beat the strongest. Stop inventing nonsense, everything is already invented”.
First, I am sure Maradona would have destroyed the FC Barcelona for how he has treated the best player in his history. In fact, he reiterated on several occasions that in that club they do not value their footballers, who are a bargaining chip. He would have been happy for his arrival at PSG, for sharing the squad with “Angelito” and Paredes, along with Mbappé and Neymar up front. “Leito has to finish his career happy, in a place where he is valued, and I think that there in Paris he will be very well. He will arrive sharp at the World Cup, surely his last World Cup, and hopefully he can lift it as I did. He deserves it. It’s not for everyone. I hope he can do it, we all know that we were the two best Argentines together with Di Stéfano. “
