Sevilla, Newell's Old Boys an Boca Juniors

[eedit | eedit soorce]

Efter servin a 15-month ban for failin a drog test for cocaine, Maradona left Napoli in disgrace in 1992. Despite interest frae Real Madrid o Spain an Olympique Marseille o Fraunce, he signed for Sevilla o Spain, whaur he stayed for ane year.[24] In 1993 he played for Newell's Old Boys an in 1995 he returned tae Boca Juniors for twa years.[12] Maradona appeared for Tottenham Hotspur in a friendly match against Internazionale an aw, shortly afore the 1986 Warld Cup.

[eedit | eedit soorce]

Durin his time wi the Argentine naitional team, Maradona scored 34 goals in 91 appearances. He made his full internaitional debut at age 16, against Hungary on 27 Februar 1977. At age 18, he played the Warld Youth Championship for Argentinae, an wis the starn o the tournament, shinin in thair 3–1 feenal win ower the Soviet Union.

1982 Warld Cup

[eedit | eedit soorce]

Maradona played his first Warld Cup tournament in 1982. Argentinae played Belgium in the openin gemme o the 1982 Cup in Barcelona. The Catalan croud wis eager tae see thair new warld-record signin Diego Maradona in action, but he did no perform tae expectations.[26] Argentinae, the defendin champions, lost tae Belgium 1–0. Awtho the team convincingly beat Hungary an El Salvador tae progress tae the seicont roond, thay wur defeatit in the seicont roond bi Brazil an bi eventual winners Italy. The Italian match is renouned for Maradona bein aggressively man-markit bi Claudio Gentile, as Italy beat Argentinae in Maradona's new hame ceety o Barcelona.[27] Maradona played in aw five matches athoot bein substitutit, scorin twice against Hungary. Efter bein fouled repeatitly in aw gemmes an in pairticularly the last ane against Brazil, Maradona's temper eventually got the better o him an he wis sent aff wi 5 minutes remainin for a serious retaliatory foul against Joao Batista da Silva.[28]

1986 Warld Cup

[eedit | eedit soorce]

Maradona captained the Argentine naitional team tae veectory in the 1986 FIFA Warld Cup, winnin the feenal in Mexico against West Germany. Throuoot the 1986 Warld Cup Maradona assertit his dominance an wis the maist dynamic player o the tournament. He played ivery minute o ivery Argentinae gemme, scored 5 goals an made 5 assists, three o those in the openin match against Sooth Korea. His first goal o the tournament came against Italy in the seicont group gemme.[29] Efter scorin twa goals in the 2–1 quairter-feenal win against Ingland his legend wis cementit.

This match wis played wi the backgrund o the Falklands War atween Argentinae an the Unitit Kinrick. Replays showed that the first goal wis scored bi strikin the baw wi his haund. Maradona wis coyly evasive, describin it as "a little wi the heid o Maradona an a little wi the haund o God." It became kent as the "Haund o God". Ultimately, on 22 August 2005 Maradona acknawledgit on his telly show that he haed hit the baw wi his haund purposely, an nae contact wi his heid wis made, an that he immediately ken the goal wis illegitimate. This became kent as a internaitional fiasco in Warld Cup history. The goal stuid, hintle tae the wrath o the Inglis players.[30]

Maradona's seicont goal, juist fower minutes efter the hotly disputit haund-goal, wis later votit bi FIFA as the greatest goal in the history o the World Cup. He receivit the baw in his awn hauf, swivelled aroond, an wi 11 touches ran mair nor hauf the lenth o the field, dribblin past five Inglis ootfield players (Peter Beardsley, Steve Hodge, Peter Reid, Terry Butcher, an Terry Fenwick) an goalkeeper Peter Shilton. This goal wis votit "Goal of the Century" in a 2002 online poll conductit bi FIFA.[31] Maradona later commentit that the goal wad no hae been possible haed it no been for the fairness o the Inglis style o play.[32]

Maradona follaeed this wi twa mair goals in the semi-feenal against Belgium, includin anither virtuoso dribblin display for the seicont goal. In the feenal, the opposin Wast German side attemptit tae conteen him bi dooble-markin, but he nivertheless foond the space tae gie the feenal pass tae Jorge Burruchaga for the winnin goal. Argentina beat Wast Germany 3–2 in front o 115,000 spectators at the Azteca Stadium.

Durin the course o the tournament, Maradona attemptit or creatit mair nor hauf o Argentinae's shots, embarkit on 90 dribbles some three times mair nor ony ither player an wis fouled 53 times winnin his team twice as mony free kicks as ony player.[33][34] Maradona scored or assistit 10 o Argentinae's 14 goals includin the assist for the winnin goal in the feenal, ensurin that he wad be remembered as ane o the greatest names in fitbaw history.[34]

Bi the end o the tournament, Maradona went on tae winnin the Golden Ball as the best player o the tournament bi unanimous vote an wis widely regardit tae hae wan the World Cup virtually single-haunditly.[34][35][36][37] In a tribute tae him, the Azteca Stadium authorities biggit a statue o him scorin the "goal o the century" an placit it at the entrance o the stadium an aw.[38]

1990 Warld Cup

[eedit | eedit soorce]

Maradona captained Argentinae again in the 1990 FIFA Warld Cup tae yet anither World Cup Final. An ankle injury affectit his oweraw performance, an he wis hintle less dominant than fower years earlier. Argentinae wur amaist eliminatit in the first roond, anerly qualifyin in third poseetion frae thair group. In the roond o 16 match against Brazil, Claudio Caniggia scored the anerly goal efter bein set up bi Maradona.

In the quairter feenal, Argentinae facit Yugoslavie, the match endin 0–0 efter 120 minutes, an Argentinae advancin on penalty kicks, despite Maradona missin ane o the penalties in the shuitoot wi a waik shot tae the goalkeeper's richt. The semifeenal against the host naition Italy wis resolvit on penalties efter a 1–1 draw an aw; this time, Maradona wis successfu wi his effort, darinly rollin the ball intae the net wi a amaist exact replica o his missed shot in the previous roond. In the feenal, Argentinae lost 1–0 tae Wast Germany, the anerly goal bein a penalty bi Andreas Brehme in the 85t minute efter a controversial foul on Rudi Völler.

1994 Warld Cup

[eedit | eedit soorce]

At the 1994 FIFA Warld Cup Maradona played in anerly twa gemmes, scorin ane goal against Greece, afore bein sent hame efter failin a drog test for ephedrine dopin. In his autobiografie, Maradona argued that the test result wis due tae his personal trainer giein him the pouer drink Rip Fuel. His claim wis that the U.S. version, unlik the Argentine ane, conteened the chemical an that, haein run oot o his Argentine dosage, his trainer unwittingly bocht the U.S. formula. FIFA expelled him frae USA '94 an Argentinae wur subsequently eliminatit in the seicont roond. Maradona haes separately claimit that he haed an greement wi FIFA an aw, on which the organisation renegit, tae allou him tae uise the drog for wicht loss afore the competeetion in order tae be able tae play.[39] His failed drogs test at the 1994 World Cup signaled the end o his internaitional career, which haed lastit 17 years an yieldit 34 goals frae 91 gemmes.
