“I lived with the impression that Maradona is immortal. He was a football god, above Pelé, Cruyff or Messi. He had that talent that God endowed him with. I have three videotapes at home with his games and many CDs, I have and magazines from all over the world with him, where I went with Steaua and the national team.

I’m sorry that I couldn’t shake your hand in this life. I’m sad, this news totally upset me “said Rotariu, by digisport.ro.

“It was a lot of fighting, very physical and with little football. And at the end of the first half, number 5 from Romania (not – Iosif Rotariu) broke my left ankle, opened it with a blow. In the second half, I played with infiltrated and he could do very little, but he wasn’t crazy about getting out.
I remember that at half-time, Moncho Monzón told me that he wanted to score a goal and I replied that he would attack the first crossbar in the corners, because there he was going to send the ball.
And thank God, Moncho went to look for her where I told him. But sadly, we couldn’t keep the score and they tied us straight away. We ended up dead and very miserable, because we had to play against Brazil “, Maradona wrote.

After posting it Maradona this summer digisport.ro challenge him Wheel to a discussion about how he chose to hold on to the great Diego. The former Steaua player came up with a solid argument to back up his confession: He didn’t even get a yellow card.
“No, not at all, I didn’t break his ankle! I didn’t even get a yellow card in that game. In fact, I played harder at the beginning, I had three stronger innings, but I didn’t. Hurt, I would have gotten yellow.
In any case, I’m glad that he remembers me, that honors me, because he played against some great footballers in the world throughout his career. He had also made history in Naples, I could feel the Italians cheering him on, but I pretended not to hear anything.
So we played very well tactically, while we were preparing for the game, the team helped me a lot and, in the end, we managed to keep the world chess title and qualify for the round of 16 ”.
