when people hear his name

you can hardly find anyone who doesn’t know him.

Or at least hasn’t heard of him.

Even if they’ve not lived during the time of

his maximum popularity.

The legend Diego Armando Maradona

was born in a poor family

just like many other famous football stars.

But poverty

couldn’t stop him reaching his goals.

When he was only 17 years old

he played in his first national match for Argentina.

The birth of a legend…

Long and short accurate passes

the ability to keep the possession of the ball

as well as the intelligence

to lead the team in the middle of the pitch

immediate and important shoots

and his amazing pace

would make any spectator be crazy about Maradona

and his skills.

People call his left hand the “God’s hand”

because in 1986 World Cup

he pushed the ball into the back of England’s net.

When he was talking about this goal

he said he would score the goal

with his right hand this time

if he went back through the time.

1986 was the year in which Maradona

made Argentina the champion of the world.

He played for Boca Juniors

Barcelona, and Napoli.

And his best time in Football

was the time he played for Napoli.

Napoli retired their number 10 jersey

after he left the team.

At the end of a match in Series A league

his drug test result was positive

and as a result

he was not allowed to play football

for 15 months.

After his suspension period ended

he participated in 1994 World Cup with Argentina.

When nobody thought

any team could stand against Maradona’s Argentina

his doping test result was positive

and he was banned for two years.

Football gave Maradona everything

and drugs took everything from him.

Diego Armando Maradona

passed away of heart attack in November 25th.

He will never be forgotten in history

And may he rest in peace.

In a village he was born, it was God’s will

to grow and survive the lowest circumstances.

the lowest circumstances

To face adversities

with the desire to win life with every step.

In a field he forged a immortal left hand

with experience came the ambition to have success.

From the beginning on

he dreamed of playing a World Cup

and enshrine himself in the First.

maybe with playing

he could help his family.

Shortly after he debuted

the 12 was who chanted

“Marado, Marado”.

His dream had a star

full of goal and dribbling .

and all the people sang:

“Marado, Marado”

the hand of God was born

“Marado, Marado”

He planted joy in the village

watered this land with glory .
