Post 3: A person I would like to meet is Diego Maradona

I read the post of teacher about Antonio Banderas and as she said, I hope maybe, just maybe, I get lucky enough and Diego Maradona gets in touch whit me. (If you want to read this post, you must play this song in the background)

In my case, Diego has a lot of meaning for me. The first reason, is for my father, since I was a child, he spoke to me of football, Maradona and Argentina. He is a fanatic of the culture of Argentina, at the end, my heart is in part "albiceleste". 

The second reason is for the history of Diego, I am fanatic of football, so how not to be the best player in history of football? Maradona is considered by many people the best player, especially for the world cup of Mexico 86, it is the moment of highest level seen in a player of football. 

Is impossible not consider the political context, beacuse it was in middle of War of the Malvinas between Argentina and Inglaterra. For Argentina this World Cup meant a lot, because the people had suffered enough. But the history of Maradona is special, Argentina had to play whit England in the quarterfinals. All the world, all the Argentina and all the Inglaterra fought for his honor, in a match that was not only a football match. It is the match when Maradona becomes in legend.

The first goal is of Maradona, know to the world as the "Hand of God", a goal that bothered all of England, and showed that in América Latina anything goes to win, anything goes to win the country whit they were in war. 

But, Maradona proved because is the best player in the history. It was not enough to convert a goal with the hand, but also he would the best goal in the history of football, acoording to FIFA. Finally Argentina won 2-0, later they would be the World Champion. 

For the people in Argentina that was revenge for the Malvinas, the best match of Maradona, the best match of a player in the history of football. 

But, Maradona is not just football, is also political. He is a humble person, he was a drug addict, but it's very easy criticize a Maradona, but it's very difficult to be Maradona. How said Manu Chao in a song in spanish: "Si yo fuera Maradona. Pero la vida es una tombola". Diego, is a communist person, he is a friend of Fidel, Hugo Chavéz, Cristina, Nicolás Maduro, etc. At the most difficult time, Fidel helped him in Cuba. Maradona never forget that. 

Maradona is resistance, bravery, talent, happiness, revolution. Maradona is América Latina.
