Live Bar November 28 , Maradona's sudden death has had a huge impact on world football, and countless players and coaches have regretted the death of the recognized king of the ball. Germany's "football emperor" Beckenbauer also expressed his views on Maradona's legendary life in an interview with Bild, calling him a "genius who did not control his own life".
Beckenbauer, who met Maradona twice in a World Cup final, paid tribute to the former opponent, but did not hide his criticism:
"When we met, he always looked good and friendly. I like him a lot, he's a genius, but obviously in recent years he has lost control of his life and that can't be ignored. ”
"The fans have been spoiling him all their lives and in Germany we can't even imagine it all. What they did to him was not just enthusiasm, but fanaticism. ”
"Maradona was my biggest annoyance in the two World Cup finals against Argentina. In Mexico in 1986, he reached his peak and was unstoppable. I could only trust Mateus, who had to keep up with him. Diego didn't have as many performance opportunities as usual in that game, but we also lost Mateus's ability on the offensive end. ”
