In 1840, when British sailors were playing football on the docks of Argentina, the local population did not understand the sport of a group of people fighting for a ball.
In 1867, Argentina held its first relatively official football tournament, with only two teams and only 12 participants, 11 of whom were British businessmen who came to Argentina to do business.
Around 1883, an Englishman named Alexander Watson Hutton quit his teaching job in Argentina.
As for the reason for the resignation, it was because Hutton wanted to popularize football in the school and expand the corresponding facilities, but the school did not agree for various reasons.
Why is Hutton so obsessed with football, the answer is that his body was not very good in his early years, his brother also died of illness, Hutton believes that football has exercised his body, so he is dedicated to promoting the sport.
At that time, the rules of football were not perfect, and because the threshold for playing football did not require equipment, people at the grassroots level participated more and were full of confrontation, so the people at the top did not like this "barbaric sport" very much, so the school did not agree to Hutton's application at that time.
Hutton is a very persistent person, he did not bend his waist because of five bucket meters, but with his own ideals to create a high school, and then added football to the subject, it is worth mentioning that this school not only recruits Britons in Argentina, but also recruits some Argentines, so that relatively formal football began to sow seeds in Argentina.
In 1891, because of the influx of football-loving Britons into Argentina, Argentina held a competition called the Argentine Football Association League that year, although the league was named after Argentina, but in fact, the main participants were mainly British, and later due to various problems, the league almost died in one year, and then it survived, thanks to Hutton's strong support.
After the league was held, Hutton managed to rely on the high school he founded, and also established a football team, which under his leadership, won the league championship 10 times in 12 years, although the team is still mainly British, but they have accepted the Argentines to advanced football concepts, but at this time Argentine football is only a seedling.
In 1906, Argentina, which already has hundreds of football organizations, was visited by the South African team to win two consecutive games, just when the Argentines almost lost confidence in football, the team formed by Hutton that year, with a one-0 scoreline, stabilized the hearts of the Argentines, and the team was led by Hutton's son Hutton Jr., and later the team won many successes under the leadership of Hutton Jr. He also wore the Argentine national team shirt many times.
The Hutton father and son have a huge influence on Argentine football, some people say that he is the founder of Argentine football, some people say that he is the father of Argentine football, in a word, when it comes to Argentine football, you must not mention Hutton.
In 1960, Argentina's future football king Maradona, born in the capital of Argentina Buenos Aires, according to Maradona's recollection, his family was very poor in his early years, of course, Maradona's situation is not an exception, the entire Argentine economy was not very good at that time.
But those familiar with Argentina's history may know that Argentina was a country with good agriculture in the early days, because of its sparsely populated land and rich in grain and beef, so its economy was once among the best in the world, and in 1910, its per capita income was even only behind Britain and the United States.
So why did this Tanhualang of the year, the economy of the future fail?
There are two main reasons for this:
First, Argentina belongs to a large agricultural country, in the era when agriculture occupies the mainstream, it can rely on its own agricultural advantages to establish proud economic advantages, but when industrial development becomes the mainstream of the era, Argentina, a former excellent student, is a little unable to keep up with the rhythm of world development;
Second, the decline of the economy, often make a country unstable, especially in the case of behind-the-scenes manipulation, in 1930, Argentina internal power transfer took place, and in the last days has not been able to really stabilize, a country that cannot be stabilized internally, and has been lagging behind in industrial upgrading, its economy has naturally gone downhill.
Maradona, whose family is poor, the first toy he came into contact with was a football that his father didn't know where to find for him, and later football occupied the most memories of Maradona's childhood, in fact, not only Maradona, many poor children in Argentina may have used football as toys.
As for the reason is also very simple, because football at that time was relatively simple, you only need a football, almost no need for any other additional equipment, even the more "popular" football at that time, not football in the real sense, they are sometimes a roll up of waste paper, sometimes it may be a waste bottle, more often, football is made of rag head entangled, if there can be another broken baby wrapped outside, it is perfect.
Later, someone proposed to make a statue of Argentine football, the hero of football should be dressed in rags, his sneakers must leak out of his toes, and the football he plays must be made of rags...
This is not an insult to Argentine football, but a celebration of it, because Argentine football in that period really grew up in the people.
Maradona has been in football since childhood, and he has this talent, so he was selected for the national team very early, the year was 1977, if he was only 17 years old at the time, then Argentina, which won the World Cup the next year, should also have a place for Maradona, and four years later, the World Cup, the already famous Maradona, because he did not control himself emotionally, and as a result, his end also led to Argentina's defeat.
In 1986, Maradona, as the "sinner" of the national team's defeat, should have been excluded from the national team, but because the national team left him, his strength directly dropped a lot, so he was specially recalled, this time Maradona with his outstanding performance, helped Argentina win the World Cup again.
Suddenly, Maradona, who came from the bottom, became a national hero, and the Argentines living in the gloom seemed to see hope.
In addition to helping Argentina mentally, Maradona also opened the eyes of the Argentine upper echelons to another possibility.
Maradona, who played well in the domestic league in 1982, transferred to a foreign team for $9 million, a record price at the time, a civilian Maradona can create such a high value, so many Maradona. Just can't train people like Maradona, is it to publicize the success of Maradona, a civilian hero, but also to give the grassroots people a hope?
According to some statistics, as of the first half of 2022, Argentina has "exported" as many as 815 players, and the mainland football players who play abroad are probably just double digits.
Argentina exports players all over the world's top leagues, their stay in the ocean, not only improve their football level, but also drive the domestic football industry, if the development of Argentina, which is quite average, no more football dreams, then...
It can be seen that Hutton is the seeder of Argentine football, and Maradona is the catalyst that stimulates this seedling to thrive, without the two of them, Argentine football may not be today.
