Diego Maradona died this Wednesday, at the age of 60, after a cardiac arrest. After the death of the idol, the president of Argentina, Alberto Fernández, declared an official three-day duel in the country.
He had already worried fans at the beginning of the month, when he was rushed to the hospital, with symptoms of anemia. At that time, a small hemorrhage was discovered in the brain, and the former player had to undergo surgery to drain it. After more than a week of hospitalization, he was discharged on November 12 and would have stayed home for the period.
Maradona is unique, as are geniuses. If today we would be on opposite sides, on the field we always share the same passion: soccer.
