Edgardo Codesal It must be one of the great public enemies of the Argentines. The Mexican referee the end of Italy World Cup 1990, where he charged a disputed criminal, minutes from the end, so that Germany defeat the “Albiceleste”.

The judge gave an interview to Radio 1010 AM from Uruguay, where he recalled that duel. He launched with everything against Diego Armando Maradona and revealed that that day he should have thrown it twice, but spared his life.

“If I had applied the regulations, I should have sent off before the game because of the insult that it does to the entire stadium. I tried to calm him down and explain what we were playing,” he started.

“When I expel Monzón he comes to yell at me that he knew about the armed robbery by FIFA. And there he could also have expelled him. I always contemplated what he was as a footballer, but as a person it is the worst thing I have ever known in my life“he continued.

He ended by recounting a memory of a previous meeting in that same World Cup: “He was a total leader, he transmitted everything on the field. As a player, all my respect and admiration. I saw incredible things on his part. In 1990, against Russia, Argentina did not go out to the field and the judges were rushing me and FIFA too. I go to the locker room and tell Bilardo that they should go out to avoid the fine. He replies that he did not know if they were leaving because they were waiting for Diego, he did not know if he was going to Playing. I see Maradona in the background and he had his ankle like a ball and they ask to bandage him at 90 degrees, with his leg extended. He came out to complement and was the best on the court. As a crack player, as a despicable person
