In 2020, Maradona, a generation of football king, died suddenly, in order to find the cause of death, the doctor removed his heart before the burial, but found that his heart was actually twice that of ordinary people.
One autumn day in 1960, in a slum south of Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital, the Maradona family welcomed their fifth child, a baby boy named Diego.
This big family with ordinary family did not know that their youngest son would become a star in world football in 20 years.
Growing up in poverty, little Diego, like his sisters, often played in the streets. When he was 8 years old, his neighbors introduced him to a football club called Little Onion.
When coach Cornejo first saw the short, thin boy, he thought he was lying to himself - his skills were obviously much better than that of an 8-year-old!
Later, Diego's mother showed him his birth certificate, and Conejo was convinced that it was really an "8-year-old diamond"!
The talented Maradona soon became the main player of the "Little Onion" team, and later Maradona moved from team to team and became a rising star.
In the 1986 World Cup, there was a small episode that Argentina had to face the old rival they had fought four years earlier, England, and in addition to football, the two teams were also burdened with national righteousness.
The score was deadlocked until the second half, and Maradona completed one of the most famous goals of his career, dribbling past four opponents and swaying the goalkeeper with a final feint, which was later named "Goal of the Century" by FIFA!
In the end, Maradona led the team to win the World Cup, and he also fulfilled the dream of the highest honor for an athlete.
After winning the World Cup, Maradona became a national hero and was regarded as an idol by the Argentine people. However, in 1991, Maradona was banned for 15 months for cocaine use.
This undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to his career and reputation, and Maradona later admitted that he had "made a mistake", and the star began to reflect and try to rebuild his image.
Before the 1994 World Cup, Maradona finally returned to the national team, and before the game, the media speculated whether Maradona still had the strength to lead Argentina to defend the title.
However, as fate would have it, Maradona was expelled from the World Cup again in the group stage due to drug bans and faced a ban again. This time, the blow was even harder. Despite falling from the top to the bottom of his career, Maradona did not give up his love for football.
After Maradona retired, he continued to spend extravagantly, and his alcoholism became a problem that he could not get rid of, and his declining life made his body weaker and weaker.
On his 60th birthday, the sickly Maradona was already struggling to show up. On November 25, 2020, on an ordinary day, Maradona passed away quietly in his sleep.
After his death, in order to prevent the crazy fans from digging up the grave, and to determine the cause of his death, doctors dug up his heart and found that his heart was twice the size of a normal person.
