The old horse is gone, in this damn 2020.

In May and June, when the number of new crown infections in Argentina rose sharply, I was a little worried about this 200-plus-catty Argentine fat man.

Once infected, how can his ball-like body survive?

As a result, Maradona left, only 60.

It’s very strange that I, a diehard loyal to England and Brazil, will feel lost for his departure. In history, both teams have been repeatedly ravaged by him.

Lu Xun said that paying tribute to your enemy is a manifestation of virtue.

Lao Ma is the “enemy” that has destroyed you for a lifetime, but still makes you unable to refuse.

One, you can dislike Maradona

Who would say that I liked Lao Ma from the World Youth Championship in 1979? It must be bragging. At that time, let alone TV, there was no reform and opening up.

Later, I watched the clip of the 19-year-old him in that game. The stunt of the left foot arranging a flower pass in the bottom of the bottom gave me a cold sweat on the spot. It turns out that football can be played like this.

When I was young, I tried to imitate twice, but I didn’t get anything other than letting myself fall. So I picked up my ideal of becoming a player. God didn’t appreciate it.

Lao Ma was still far away from the Chinese until 1986. At that time, it appeared in some professional football magazines, such as “Football World.”

I saw Lao Ma’s performance in the 1982 World Cup in this magazine. I played a red card against Brazil.

At that time, I was so happy in my heart, young man, you don’t speak martial ethics. Because I was a Brazilian fan then.

In the 1986 World Cup, China had a live TV broadcast for the first time. It was the era when the vast majority of first-generation fans really saw the old horse.

The moment when the “Hand of God” scores a goal.

What is supernatural craftsmanship? What is Fenghua peerless? In that year, Lao Ma gave these two words the best interpretation.

Whoever scores a goal recorded in history in a World Cup game is the pinnacle of his life, but he scored two goals in the same game.

The old horse took six or seven English players to the garden like a juggling, playing around with the world-class defenses of Buche and Hilton, and scored none of the most beautiful goals in the World Cup.

When Lao Ma “topped” a handball with his height of 1.68 meters, my young heart broke even more.

At that time, I did not know the grievances between Britain and Argentina. It was not until a long time later that I finally understood that the old horse was to Argentina and that day was their god.

When Argentina was blasted by England on the battlefield and lost the Falklands War, the old horse found face for them on the court.

In 1986, Argentina played against England and Maradona’s second goal.

It feels like Huo Yuanjia defeated the Russian Hercules, Ma Baoguo defeated the British Hercules and so on. The Chinese are always familiar with it.

We are usually YY, but the old horse really humiliated the British.
