Claudio Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Association, also expressed “deep grief” after learning of the news.
Maradona began her professional career with the Argentine Juniors at the age of 16 and is considered the greatest player on a football field ever.
As a scaled-down left-footed offensive player, he represented Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Naples, Seville and Newell’s Old Boys, and later coached the Racing Club, Dorados, Gimnasia and Argentine national teams as coaches.
The album was still recorded.
Maradona played a key role in bringing his second World Championship victory to Argentina in 1986, and in the final, led by Carlos Bilardo, he prevailed over West Germany in the final.
He scored five goals in the league and finished second behind England’s Gary Lineker in the ranking of goal kings in the quarter-final doubles meeting, which has been included in the yearbooks perhaps the most iconic and certainly the most controversial in the 90-year history of the World Cup.
Argentina No. 10. He scored twice with England’s 2-1 victory, the first goal after the infamous “God’s Hand” and the second after dripping around several opponents, which was soon named the “Goal of the Century”. ”.
Four years later, Maradona also helped him make it to his second consecutive World Cup final to fall in West Germany.
