The phrases of Diego Armando Maradona (1960) are part of the legacy that one of the stars of the ball has left and continues to leave. A clear, temperamental and open person, the 'Fluff' has always been involved in controversy for, as he himself would say, "having been either black or white, never gray."
From the sporting point of view, we are talking about a world champion (1986) idolized in his native Argentina and in Naples, his second home and where he gave off his best years of football.
He has served as captain and coach of the albiceleste, had problems with drugs and with the Italian treasury. Currently, he continues to give a lot to talk about in the different television shows in which he appears or on his own social networks, from where he thinks about football, politics or human rights.
