Maradona in the eyes of Mahmoud Darwish

Maradona was present in the legacy of the late great poet Mahmoud Darwish, who dedicated it to an article after the end of the 1986 World Cup, which the player won with the Argentine team. The Palestinian poet praised the legendary player and “cried” in him to Maradona’s fans, who of course is one of them, for the void he left in the lives of many after the end of the World Cup. Some of what was said in the article:

What do we do after Maradona returns to his family in Argentina? With whom will we stay awake, after hanging the tranquility and fear of the heart on its miraculous feet? And who do we forget and get excited about after being addicted for a month during which we go from spectators to lovers? And to whom will we raise the cries of enthusiasm, pleasure and pins of blood, after we find in him our desired hero, and feed our thirst in us the need for: a hero … a hero we applaud, we pray for him For victory, we hang an amulet on him and fear for him, and in our hope for him, that it will break? The individual, the individual is not a heresy in history. Hello Maradona, hello Maradona, what did you do for hours? What did you do with the dates?
Maradona claps in pain. If you don’t pay, Argentina will die of tears. And if it does not, Argentina will lift its shame in Malvinas. Nationalism would stop dancing and arrogant England would win the war twice. But Maradona is leading the ball in terms of power recoil. Maradona returns the island to Argentina. Warn the British Empire living in the joys of the past … the distant past.

Maradona, my hero …
Maradona, my hero, where are we going tonight?
Maradona, help your parents, help us endure this life, help this era out of boredom and usher in a longing for individual heroism.
Maradona, when you wear your name on our lips so that we can reread Hegel and Nietzsche
Maradona, Maradona, Maradona !!
