At the end of the Europa League match between Tottenham and Ludogorets, José Mourinho paid tribute to Diego Maradona, remembering the unique footballer but also the man with whom he smiled a lot.
«There are Maradona and Diego. The Maradona that everyone knows and will never forget. I made sure my son knew a lot about him, even though he was born after playing. I know that my son will insist that one day when he becomes a father, he will not let his children stop knowing who Maradona was. That is what my father did to me in relation to Di Stéfano. I never saw him play, but my dad made sure I knew a lot about him. Diego in my generation was what everyone knows, “said the Portuguese coach.
And then there’s Diego, the person, and I miss him. I’m sorry I didn’t spend more time with him. I would love it, because his family, his great friends, his companions are very privileged to have spent time with him and to know him well. I know him quite well. And in my great defeats, he always called me. In my victories, never. I will miss it. I’m very sad, of course, but I have a smile on my face because all the minutes I spent with him were smiling, “he stressed.
