Let me explain to you the importance of this man. In the 86 World Cup, people from Naples were chearing for Argentina and not Italy because of this man. He was like an ambassador.
It was 1990, Italy hosted the world cup, Napoli was Diegos club at the time and the semi final between Argentina and Italy was hosted in Naples....People saying 1986 don't embarrass yourself the Internet is available to fact check ( Italy did play Argentina in 1986 world cup in Mexico but it was a group stage game )
Messi and Maradona are on the same level, but if they were playing on the same team, nobody would pay much attention to Messi. Maradona was the most fascinating player of all time. Unbelievable skills and charisma.
Nah maradona is a football God to me but messi is also too good ngl but maradona also do skills he didn't set limitations to his creativity thats what I like about him ...
I'm old enough to have watched him play and I guarantee you that no amount of RU-vid compilations can even begin to describe what Maradona was. How he dragged non fashionable teams to glory. Why he's a literal god in Argentina and Napoli. He was more than just a genius footballer, he was larger than life. His extraordinary life, his charisma, his personality, his flaws, his struggles are stuff of legend. Many other football legends have been more consistent, had longer careers, won more trophies, but none of them is even remotely to close to what he brought to football and to the world, except maybe Johann Cruyff. There's no one like him and there will most likely never be. If you want even crazier training skills from him I highly recommend you this compilation: Maradona could do everything with a Football: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QjmUsqIqP1w.html If you want to see him working his magic in Napoli (he lead them to their two and only championship titles in 1987 and 1990. They never won it again since) and how the people of the city worshipped him. A bit long but well worth the watch: Diego Maradona - Magical moments in Napoli ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pBCBGWXiRGI.html
Played soccer my whole life through college. I could juggle the ball over 1k times as well (obsessed as kid). Let me tell you that we used to watch all of Maradona's videos in high school and try to emulate his control and the juggling training he would do. It's unbelievable. No matter how much we tried we just couldn't get it down. No one has ever had the control over the ball like Maradona. Not even Ronaldinho, Zidane or Messi. Until you actually try some of the things he would do with absolute ease you don't truly realize how difficult it is to do these things like that. I hope history never forgets him when it comes to this sport. He was a master. One of a kind.
And these skills were not there for the show only, just look at the unbelievable way he uses that perfect control in how he fools player after player with great effect. One touch and he is past two players.
I imagined the guys going to the backyard after the video to prove something, and fell completely frustrated into the underestandig how difficult couldn't even make one of those moves, but yeah, it might be enough to understand his tremendous size of player .- Maradona always and forever
Para que la gente de Estados Unidos entienda la magnitud y la trascendencia de este jugador: Diego Armando Maradona vendría a ser lo que para ustedes fué Michael Jordan, pero multiplicado por 1000. Este tipo fué prácticamente un semi-dios, con el talento y el toque único para tratar al balón de fútbol, un artista que hacía deporte, que tuvo más Rock & Roll y noche que muchos de nosotros en 10 vidas, por lo que daba ventaja. ¡Saludos!.
Maradona fue realmente bueno pero por favor no exageres diciendo que fue mil veces superior a jordan como deportista lo dudo los logros de MJ son hasta la fecha insuperables jordan siempre fue un ganador, Maradona se desmanteló su carrera por las drogas hay que ser realistas jordan hizo su carrera deportiva intachable y no callo en situaciones boñornosas.
@@ricardocambell4065 no hablo de la carrera, hablo de lo que significa maradona para los argentinos. Lo que para ellos es jordan para nosotros es Diego pero mil veces más
OK en ese sentido si claro es un ídolo en su país el numero uno aunque a mi me gusto mucho la carrera deportiva de Manú Ginobili. Merece también un lugar bien alto en tu país.
@@ricardocambell4065 si fue el mejor del mundo con las drogas imagínate lo que hubiera logrado si no las consumía,por eso es como Michel Jordan nadie logró sus logros,y eso que el chabon no estaba al 100% de su capacidad
@@ricardocambell4065 un mundial jugo con su tobillo con un esguince súper inflamado que ni las zarpas le entraban,le chupo un huevo el dolor y su condición y aún así gano,imagínate que Michel Jordan gane un mundial con su mano hábil esguincada
Ronaldhino is the greatest dribbler of All-Time (just like Kyrie Irving, Allen Iverson, Pistol Pete, Magic, etc) Ronaldo is the greatest scorer of All-Time (just like Curr, Jordan, Curry, Durant, Wilt, etc) Messi is the greatest all-around player of All-Time (LeBron, Jordan, Kareem, Kobe, etc) Pele and Maradona are the greatest Soccer players of All-Time (like Jordan, LeBron, Russell, Kareem, Wilt, Magic Bird, Kobe, etc)
Truly the GOAT. The best ever. Period. And you BARELY saw 10% of what he did. Please, more videos of Diego. Watch his best goals (ENGLAND IN 1986, arguably the best goal in history) and his assists. He was UNIQUE.
@@vihansubramaniam3593 Oh, of course he is, of course he's the best. I saw EVERYONE play since Pelé and Maradona is #1. But of course, everyone has their own opinion.
@@vihansubramaniam3593 maradona can do everything messi can do in the field plus maradona did it with flare with flashynees the only thing is he had a short carerr but imagine if he had played all his years in barcelona or napoli OMG he would been the best ever and is not even close, for me ill choose Maradona and CRISTIANO over messi anyday
Come on guys. Pele and Maradona are universally recognized as the two best ever. Most consider Maradona for his skill and carrying less skilled teams while others pick Pele for his longevity and World Cup records. Maradona was the best dribbler ever. Messi is in the top 3 of all time IMO , especially if he finally wins a world cup
Diego is more than a footballer: he transcended football. He is an inspiration to not only his nation, but billions around the world. He is now a god in heaven
I don't know who told you guys that he never played a world cup, he is a world cup legend! Having the best individual performance in a WC (1986) ever, scoring the best goal in all time and the most polemic goal in the same game vs England, almost single handling winning that WC, he played 4 WC representing Argentina (1982-1986-1990-1994). If you have a way to describe Maradona's ability it would be as a combination of Ronaldinho and Messi before they even played, he had godlike ball control and dribbling, awesome technique, creativity, passion and speed, in the clips you saw him warm up with Napoli and juggling the ball, he doesn't even have the shoelaces tied! He also was one of the pioneers of freestyle and tricks & skills, almost unmatchable to this time and only rivaled by Ronaldinho in this field. Best player that has ever played the beautiful game, in my opinion this video does more justice to his name: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-akIokTkJQ0A.html&ab_channel=OBolaNasCostas RIP Legend.
lo de los cordones era una estrategia de él ya que de esa manera conseguía que la marca le pagara mejor ya que cuando el calentaba en el momento que se agachaba a atarse los cordones las cámaras hacían un primer plano a sus botines hasta en eso era un estratega en la cancha
He missed his first World Cup in 1978 because of his age. He played in World Cup 1982, 86, 90, and 94. I still hold this believe that he’s the greatest soccer player to walk the earth because of what he does with the ball!
Da tifosa del Napoli, posso dire che non aveva eguali...Lui sarà sempre il campione che non verrà mai superato per bravura e tecnica nel mondo calcistico....Sarà sempre il nostro amatissimo ed indimenticabile Diego10...Ti ameremo sempre ...Forza Napoli

Diego vino a este mundo para que entendamos que hay otros mundos. Y la pregunta es: de que planeta viniste?? Barrilete cosmico. El norte de Italia tuvo que morder el pasto. Y los ingleses mas alla de la humillacion ahora lo recuerdan. 30-10-1960 hasta el Infinito.
Diego Maradona skills are something to watch right? but you can't miss the most significant plays of his career: Goal against England in Mexico's World Cup in 1986 and of course the sublime drible and pass to goal to Caniggia beating Brazil in Italy '90. Magic and skills plus what it meant in the most decisive moments. You can imagine how it was to watch it live in tv, man... he made us all cry and I am not even argentinian. Unforgettable.

@@FreedomFighter2112Messi best all around player? He's a 1 trick pony and 1 team pony. Cr7 is the best all around player. He can do everything on the pitch. Long distance, short, headers, you name it. He just doesn't drible much anymore as he got older because he doesn't need to, and he's not a midget like Messi.
El mejor jugador de todos los tiempos !! Hizo Ganador a equipos que no estaban para Campeón, pero el en esos momentos valia por 10 jugadores , te amo Diego !!
Sto piangendo... Non potete capire cosa è stato Maradona per Napoli e per i Napoletani. Non era solo un campione, non era solo il D10S del calcio, era molto, molto di più. Era il simbolo del riscatto di una città sempre vessata e vilipesa, contro i soprusi della mafia calcistica delle squadre del nord, era il riscatto dei poveri contro i potenti e non solo del calcio. Napoli ti ha amato, ti ama e ti amerà PER SEMPRE. Diego immenso campione e grandissimo uomo che ha fatto male solo a se stesso 💙💙💙😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your video I'm a supporter for Napoli 💙 team . I saw Diego at the San Paolo in a few games when I was a boy. Thanks for your video. Many memories, he number 1
cuando ves estas reaciones te das cuenta lo grande que fue este tipo ..el mas grande jugador de futbol .y el orgullo que fue nuestro . mas argentino que el dulce de leche ..(AR)
Y no vieron el gol contra los ingleses, no vieron el gol contra belgica, el pase a burruchaga, el pase a cani en el 90, ni tampoco la pegada que tenia en tiros libres ni sus goles individuales, solo vieron el control de balon que tenia, un poco de dribling y algo de su velocidad, ellos no lo saben pero vieron el 10% de este genio ajaja

Diego is God! He danced on the court, 4 defenders were not enough to stop him. Pure art, proud to be Argentina and to have seen him play. POR SIEMPRE EN NUESTRO CORAZONES DIEGO! ♥
He is definitely the most skilled player ever, the ball was almost a part of his body and he had full control of it, but unfortunately he ruined his career by usining drungs and bad habits...
He's career wasn't ruin by drug's, He's career was stablish the Day he was born,A legend was Giving to Us that Day, He's personal life was affected by his bad Habits, But on the field he was the Best!!!!
Great vid CartierFamily. I tell you I am 45 and saw him play live at the stadium 4 or 5 times. I consider myself extremely fortunate. And yes he is to soccer what Michael Jordan was to Basketball. If you think his videos left you guys in awe you should have seen him live. It was 10x as impressive.
He not only played in the world cup but had one of the greatest ever overall performances and scored arguably the best goal ever!!! You need to check it out
React to Zinedine Zidane. One of the greatest and the most elegant midfielders of all time. The Brazilians themselves know him very well. He scored two goals on them in the 1998 World Cup final and won the World Cup and was a big factor in eliminating the stacked 2006 Brazil squad in the 2006 World Cup. He was a beast.
Paul Gascoigne - Unbelievable player who rarely gets mentioned. A genius on the pitch, completely mad off it 😄 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1HlQDIHkBow.html
funny thing is you're not even watching his goals (which were on another level as well). The media crucified him because of his life outside the pitch, but he'll always be the absolute GOAT. Reached glory under the least favorable circumstances and gave the sport a whole new meaning. He made us so happy. Diego forever in our hearts.
I saw him live in 86 in Mexico City. It was magical like seeing Jordon or Gretzky in their prime. You do not forget those moments. He dominated that World Cup
There is a clip somewhere of a reporter in the 70's with a load of Argentinian kids , a 10year old Diego Maradona is in the crowd of kids the reporter says "here we have little Diego who plays, what do you want to be when you grow up Diego?" Diego's response "I'm going to be the best player in the world" He knew even at 10 where his destiny was
Thank you guys. Today's his birthday and in Argentina we appeciate your showing him to the world. You've showed him very well and your comments were beautiful. Thank you.
Truly the greatest to ever live he sweat to the last drop he had in him for the love of the ball, he was astounding , a warrior , passionate , tactical, skillful , powerful, a king in all ways possible , Rip the greatest player ever Diego Armando Maradona.
That vid doesn't even do him justice. He did play in the World Cup guys, 3 times and in 2 finals. He won it (virtually single handed in 1986) including the best ever World Cup goal against England. He had everything, sublime ball control, speed, strength, vision, decision making, passing, scoring, free kicks, the lot. He was natural born leader and a fantastic character. Messi is a wonderful player too, but he did not play on the poor pitches and in the tough tackling of that era. Maradonna was the best, the God of Football.
He did actually win the World Cup in '86 with Argentina. There are four players in the bracket of best player of all time: Lionel Messi, Diego Armando Maradona, Johan Cruyff & Pele. The order of ranking them depends per person but those four can be considered the best of all time.
@@mudfreaks6962 it really isn't, I'm merely stating the difference between Messi , Cruyff , Pele and , well we know what the other one is 😉 , don't let your idolisation of the chode meister cloud that facts of the matter. To be truly great you have to be a role model , unlike Maradona and that other whinging , self important prick Cristiano Ronaldo .
Como argentina q soy amo ver éstos videos. Con mis 43 años pude verlo jugar muchas veces,ver llorar a mi mamá uruguaya de la emoción xq eso nos hacía sentir. Emocionaba hasta las lágrimas esa persona. Lo q hacía en la cancha y más x la camiseta de la selección. Maldita la droga q arruinó su vida. Pero que jugó y nos dió orgullo es indiscutible.
here in argentina we miss our argentinian hero so much... thanks for him he gave us so much joy that we find it hard to believe that he is gone... but here we say that dead is the one who is forgotten and we will never forget Diego Armando Maradona
He was honestly amazing how he was able to just cut through all around the field and his speed was awesome. Crazy how that little dude was a complete monster
My favorite player was Gabriel Batistuta of Argentina. He scored a hat trick(3 goals in one game) in 2 different world cups. That is a record that still stands.
In terms of control over the ball, Ronaldinho was the closest. I'm mad at Ronaldinho for being lazy which is why he underperformed his potential. But there is no questioning his love of the game and of the people. For that, he's also one of the most beloved players ever.
Also worth noting that he played in an era when defenders regularly tried to break his legs - players now are - rightly - protected much more by referees, but back in his day, you got the legs kicked off you. Modern players would struggle to cope. I've been playing and following soccer for more decades than i care to remember, and, for me, 4 players are head and shoulders above the rest, and they are, in chronological order: Garrincha, George Best, Cruyff, and Maradona.
The true GOAT. Never has there been a player with the all round skill and charisma he possessed. He was a born leader that took average teams to amazing heights. What he did in 86 WC and at Napoli cannot be surpassed. RIP to the legend.
He won the world cup for Argentina in 1986. He also played in the 78, 82, 90 and 94 world cup. I believe he didn't play in the Champions League. He is truly the greatest in my opinion.
He didn't play in '78 WC. He won the 88-89 Europa League. Played Champions 87-88 (lost vs Real Madrid, great team) and 90-91 (lost with Spartak which later on would eliminate Real Madrid) with a very discreet performance.
You ask anybody that know a little bit who the GOAT of soccer was and they will twll you Diego Maradona. You ask Diego who's the best he's seen, He will tell you about his friend Jorge "Magico" Gonzales. The stuff he did in Cadiz, was something that kept Diego and his friends in awe. His words.
Other Maradona videos to check out include him juggling the ball to the rhythm of the song Live is Life. Also checkout the Goal of the Century and the Hand of God vs England in 1986.
Maradona is the GOAT, there's been some great players but he's the best. You should watch highlights of his performances in the 1986 world Cup, just ridiculous, like an OP playstation character in every game.
I am from Argentina. Very proud to be Maradona´s country man. Let me tell you that he used to do that acrobacies during halftimes in some football match, when he was a kid
Zinedene Zidane is right up there as well. He's a big guy but an absolute joy to watch. I think graceful might be the best word. He had a huge bag of tricks but would just do the right thing in every moment, almost minimalist in a way. From memory I can't recall him ever being successfully tackled. Fouled? Yes. Someone taking the ball from him though? Once in a blue moon maybe.
Love the channel and the energy you guys bring , please react to the goals and skills of Ronaldo Nazario one of the most phenomenal players of all time in my opinion
Maradona fue el más grande futbolista del mundo Lejos el mejor Gracias hermanos por compartir este video Deberían relacionar a la hinchada de fútbol de Argentina🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 se van a quedar admirados Abrazos desde Argentina
He did play in the World Cup. It’s what he’s most known for. He scored the greatest World Cup goal ever against England and won it pretty much single hdndedly in 1986…
