[뉴욕=이데일리 김정남 특파원] Diego Maradona, Argentina’s “soccer emperor,” died of a heart attack. When the greatest footballer of all time took to heaven, the world of world football was saddened.

The most complete striker in football history

According to Reuters and CNN, on the 25th (local time), Maradona died at his home in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. 60 years old. The cause of death was confirmed to be a heart attack, Reuters quoted the deceased’s lawyer as saying.

Maradona underwent brain surgery for a subdural hematoma (a disease in which a hematoma accumulates under the cerebral dura that surrounds the brain) on day 3, and on day 11 he was discharged from the hospital and received outpatient treatment. At the time, the doctor said the operation was successful, but he died within two weeks of being discharged.

There is no doubt that Maradona is the best player in the history of football. Whenever the biggest debate in history broke out, Pele (Brazil) and Lionel Messi (Argentina, FC Barcelona) fought in the first person. Maradona made his professional debut for the Argentinos Juniors in 1976 and gained attention at the Argentine Boca Juniors (1981-1982). He moved to Europe in 1982, where he spent almost 10 years with FC Barcelona in La Liga, Spain and SSC Napoles in Serie A, Italy. After 1992, he played for Sevilla FC, Spain.

He is evaluated as a “complete forward” and “the god of football” with a balance of skill, power and activity.

The deceased played for the Argentine national team in 91 games and scored 34 goals. The pinnacle of his career was the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. He won the Ballon d’Or, an MVP after leading Argentina to the championship. In particular, the ‘Hand of God’ controversy that took place in the quarterfinals with England remains a hot topic even today. Maradona said: “My head and the hand of God made a goal together” after the ball hit the hand and went into the goal it was recognized as a goal.

After retirement, he served as a leader on various teams. From 2008 to 2010, he was the coach of the Argentine national team. Since last September he has directed the Argentine professional soccer team Himnacia La Plata.

Maradona also had a bad temper. A typical example was that they caught him in a doping test during the 1994 World Cup in the United States and left him. After retirement, he had problems with drugs, alcoholism, and obesity.
