1 Bilardo’s most trusted old boss
Who is the coach who can best interpret Maradona’s genius, or who can be the more moderate Diego? Carlos Vilardo, nicknamed “Big Nose”, does his part.
Unlike Maradona, who was born in a reckless environment, no matter how sunny or snowy during the teaching period, Bilardo is always dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and is more like a classy academic.
As soon as Bilardo took over, Maradona established himself as the absolute tactical nucleus. The tactic of the Argentine team, in a nutshell: leave the offense to captain Maradona, and the rest of the team will keep the goal.
At the 1986 World Cup, Maradona not only scored goals and assists, but even trivial matters like the color of the visitor’s uniform were chosen by the team, he was full of leadership. From 1983 to 1990, Vilardo and Maradona sincerely worked together for 7 years, and ushered in the highest peak in Argentine soccer with 1 World Cup and 1 Asia.
Of course there is only one Maradona, and there really are not many Bilardos.
As the coach who has trained Maradona the longest, Bilardo almost left with Maradona. After the end of 7 years of collaboration with the national team, the two worked together with Boca Juniors in Seville for 9 years, almost crossing the top of Maradona.
Twelve years ago, Maradona’s whim could not bear the invitation of the Argentine Football Association.When he took over the national team for the first time, Bilardo, who was used to the big scene, was invited by his former subordinates to serve as sports director of the national team. However, with the Argentine team defeating South Africa, the two people who had spent countless honeymoons together eventually inevitably had a rift between them.
It is really shameful that the teacher and the apprentice went from being in love with the father and son to being a stranger, but after many years, the parties have treated their complaints with indifference.
When asked last year who is better than Maradona and Messi, Raldo did not hesitate, “Messi has noticed more talent, but Maradona’s talent is obviously greater.”
2 Messi’s most trusted successor
“For all Argentines and soccer players, this is a very sad day. He left us, but he did not leave, because Diego is eternal.” After hearing the news of Lao Ma’s death for the first time, Messi wrote emotionally on social media.
In the last 40 years, the journey of searching for the “next Diego” and making gods has been repeated countless times in Ortega, Aimar, Dale Sandro and others. To this day, Messi may be the closest to ending this suspense, but it continues to spread.
In age, Messi is Maradona’s nephew. In terms of career, Messi and Maradona have too much in common. They also entered the club’s first team under 17 years old, led the team to win the World Junior Championship, and also completed the “Hand of God” and “Lian”. “More than five people”, also in the green years due to the infringement of the opponents, ate the first red card of the national team’s career … However, in a broader dimension, Maradona is Messi’s life reference and it also hangs over his head. An inescapable subject. In this sense, the unspoken Messi has long hoped to end the comparison, “I will play another million years and I will not reach Diego’s level.”
For the younger generations, Maradona, who has always been demanding, almost never admits that Messi surpasses him, although Messi at the club level is already near perfect.
What’s even more incredible is that between 2008 and 2010, the two actually completed a journey to the World Cup as coaches and players. Unfortunately, the old horse, who has been playing mostly in his coaching career, did not “spark” with Messi in the only serious.
During the playoffs, it was 35-year-old “crazy” Palermo who saved the horse from the fire. The highlights of the World Cup were Tevez and Higuaín. Messi, who delivered 0 goals and 0 assists, won 5 The worst performance of the day of the World Cup, especially in the context of the Ballon d’Or 4 consecutive, this contrast is particularly striking.
However, Maradona still has some gifts for Messi. In the two years of teamwork, Maradona has shown in person how Messi takes a free kick more than once, with the latter adding a terrifying weapon in the second half of his career. Maradona’s support for Messi has not changed even after he was removed from the national team coach.
In Russia two years ago, Maradona contributed the most emojis to Messi in the stands. From witnessing Messi’s missed penalty shoot-out, the frustration was overwhelming, to the prayers and savage shouts of Argentina’s life-and-death fight against Nigeria – a true spectator horse of temperament, though it failed to turn the Argentine team around. his destiny, made Pan. The tragic journey of the Peace Legion adds another thick ink.
The short-term cooperation between the two has never “turned on”, but in the last years of his life, the lonely king of the world, in the purest and most sincere way, paid tribute to the younger generation more like him.
3 Matthaus’s biggest opponent
Just a month and a half before Maradona’s death, German soccer stars such as Beckenbauer, Klinsmann, Bremer, Waller and Organtaler gathered in Tuscany, Italy to celebrate the 1990 30th anniversary of the World Cup. They defeated Argentina in the final. with Maradona.
At that time, the tactical core and leader of the Germanic chariot was exactly Mateus, who was only half a year younger than the old horse. From the national team to the club, the two people who have been fighting each other at the peak of their careers can be called the “light and bright” of the 1990s.
Without Diego, the brightest star of the 1986 World Cup is obviously Matteus. In the round of 16, Mateus made a free kick to kill Morocco; in the quarterfinals against host Mexico, he hit a firm shot on the third penalty shoot-out. However, in the final against Maradona’s inseparable Matteus, although he did not let the former score directly, he could not stop Diego’s fatal pass to Bruchaga.
Although from two continents, the confrontation between the two continued from the World Cup to Serie A. In 1988, Mateus moved to Inter Milan and formed the “German Troika” with his teammates Bremer and Klinsmann. Before that, Napoli led by Maradona became the new king of Serie A.
At that time, Napoli were very excited about football, especially Maradona, and the São Paulo stadium, which could hold 85,000 people, was packed all year round.
However, the arrival of Mateus changed everything. In the 1988-1989 season, Inter Milan won the Serie A championship. Although Napoli were crowned again in the following 1989-1990 season, the Nerazzurri, who won the Italian Super Cup, continued to pressure their opponents.
In the World Cup that summer, the “two horses” met again in the final, but the result was very different from 4 years ago, although Mateus, who claimed to have “loose laces”, did not shoot the penalty that determined the outcome. of the party. But Diego, who burst into tears after the defeat, wildly downloaded himself to the microphone: “FIFA and all the referees are gangsters.”
At the world footballer’s first award ceremony in 1991, the highest FIFA honor was awarded to Matteus, not Maradona.
4 Peter Hilton’s saddest “background board”
“The first goal offended God, but you have to admit that when the second happened, he was God.” 34 years later, when Maradona went west, almost the rest of his life. Peter Hilton, who lived in the shadow of “the hand of God”, finally put aside his obsession with “enemies”.
The 1986 World Cup between Great Britain and Afghanistan was of strategic importance to the Pampa Army summit, not as good as the subsequent semi-finals and finals. However, after the Anglo-Marathon War 4 years ago, this close encounter was given too much meaning beyond the game since the duel was launched. Maradona, in the eye of the storm, seemed light and windy on the surface.
At the time, all of England pinned their hopes of winning on captain Peter Hilton, who although the legendary Everton goddess was 37 years old, was still the mainstay of the Three Lions.
After the slightly flat first half, the second half opened only 5 minutes, an inadvertent error by the England team became the turning point of the game, Maradona suddenly intervened, and Hilton struggled to get this forward-thinking backward pass. Hilton in the penalty area spotted the old horse, who was nearly 8 inches shorter than him, sending the ball into the back of the net with a concealed left shot.
It goes without saying what happened next, Maradona scored the best goal of the World Cup with 5 people. Hilton, who has been humiliated twice by Maradona, has spent the rest of his life fighting with the “hand of God”, “he is a great player, but for me, he is not worthy of respect”.
Speaking about the VAR’s error in judgment in the Premier League last year, Hilton stood firm, “His (Maradona) trap destroyed the England team. If there were VAR at the 1986 World Cup, that would be great!”
5 Caniggia’s most faithful “disciple”
25 years ago in Ajia Stadium, Candy Box Stadium you can often see a scene of blushing heartbeat. No. 10, who was dyed blonde hair, sent a straight plug, and No. 7 with the same blonde hair easily disposed of the goalkeeper after catching the ball and pushing the empty goal. After the goal, No. 7 ran in front of No. 10, grabbed the latter’s blessed round face, and kissed the latter’s full lips.
At that time, the two people, with an average age of 32, performed the passionate “Twilight Love”. They are Maradona and his more enlightened partner, Caniggia, who challenge the soccer defender to keep track of the results.
In the 1990 World Cup, the two men, who were 7 years old, joined forces to destroy the city. When the wounded old horse was caught in a heavy siege, it was Kanigia who “exploded” over and over again, sealing his throat with a sword. In the knockout stages, former enemy Brazil was shot down, and Maradona, who was surrounded by four people, sent a deadly oblique plug. The neglected Caniggia completed the tradition, which became the deepest pain of the Samba army at the end of the last century.
As Diego’s most trusted comrade-in-arms and most loyal disciple, Caniggia’s curtain call is somewhat similar to Lao Ma. When he was eliminated by Romania in the eighth-finals of the 1994 World Cup, Maradona could only stay on the sidelines. for consuming prohibited drugs and cried in Claudia’s arms. At the 2002 World Cup, “El Niño del Viento” was invited to the stands for accusing the referee, who, who played zero during his trip to Japan and South Korea, lit a cigarette in the stands …
When the bad news of the death of Diego, the “Son of the Wind” who had previously prayed for Maradona, just a few words on social networks, “Rest in peace, brother.” The image of his best friend’s farewell was Die. Gothic black and white photo.
