Zlatan further says that he hopes Maradona, who had a lot of trouble along with the abuse plan, will be remembered for what he did inside the lines.
– I don’t know if he always made the right decision in life, but he was always himself. In today’s football, players try to be perfect, they are never wrong. But to mature and develop you have to make mistakes. The decisions he made off the field concern only him.
