Human Half-Soul Story Named Diego Armando Maradona "The Legend"
The selection of the best players of the 20th century held by FIFA in 2000, Maradona was controversially chosen as one of two players besides the Brazilian legend, Pelé. This result has been a matter of controversy, because many people sneered at the results of the poll. The relatively young voters were most likely to vote for Maradona, because the days when Pelé played had long since passed and were not well documented.
However, no one denies that Maradona is said to be the most sensational football person Earth has ever seen. Pelé is indeed a great player, but Maradona is more talked about because he is always attached to the controversy. Despite all his greatness on the field, Maradona's life is also very colorful outside the field. The colors meant were not always positive, including his involvement in the use of doping in the match between Napoli and Bari in 1990, and at the 1994 World Cup.
Despite defending six different clubs throughout his career, the life of the man born in October 30, 1960 can be shortened to three different parts, namely Boca Juniors, Barcelona, and Naples. He has also been recorded defending Argentinos Juniors, Newell's Old Boys, and Sevilla. However, the first three clubs are the most attached to Maradona's life story until now.
Maradona underwent his professional debut for Argentinos Juniors on October 20, 1976, only 10 days after his 16th birthday. In 1981, he moved to one of Argentina's biggest clubs, Boca Juniors. In his brief togetherness with Boca Juniors, this petite player felt his first league title throughout his career.

His impressive performance at Boca attracted the interest of Barcelona, who were willing to pay around 5 million euros to bring the player to Spain. Right after the 1982 World Cup, Maradona moved to the Catalonia club. The two years he spent in Barcelona were not bad, but also not spectacular. Together with Barcelona, Maradona failed to win the Spanish League and had to be satisfied only with the 1983 Copa del Rey title.
Unexpectedly, two years later he decided to move to an Italian club with a reputation of not how big and strong, namely Napoli. At this club the highlight of the phenomenal player's career. Led by Maradona, Napoli won the Italian Serie A twice, namely in the 1986/1987 and 1989/1990 seasons. In addition to achievements at club level, he also led Argentina to win the 1986 World Cup.
After Napoli, then his club career carried Sevilla, Newell's Old Boys, and finally returned to Boca Juniors. The last club is where Maradona ended his professional playing career on October 30, 1997, or right on his 37th birthday.
Throughout his career, Maradona played in four World Cups, and appeared to defend the Argentine national team until 1994. During his blue-white uniform, he scored 34 goals in 91 appearances.
After his extraordinary career on the gridiron, Maradona tried hard to continue his career on the soccer field. However, apparently carrying out his duties as a coach proved difficult for him. All his training experience, from the amateur club at Mandiyú de Corrientes, Racing Club de Avellaneda to Al-Wasl in the United Arab Emirates, did not produce a single title. His tenure as head coach of the Argentine national team was somewhat a failure, although he took La Albiceleste to the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup.
Until now, the people of Argentina still see Maradona as a demigod. A church in the city of Rosario, Argentina, is dedicated to worshiping the legend. On a smaller scale, a worship room for Maradona also still exists today in the city of Naples. Maradona is indeed special.
