Olivier Guez, Maurizio Crosetti
La mano de Dios: a rushing life
El Diez called «Pibe de Oro» and «La mano de Dios» was a legend for millions of fans. He was one of the greatest football players of all time; the mob-leader, the defender of the weak, the little big man who arrived in Naples to radically change its history. Everyone loved him, most abandoned him. Maradona has always lived in a rush: he gave beauty and sadness, dispersed every fragment of himself and claimed the freedom to do it. As sport supporters, Oliver Guez and Maurizio Crosetti discuss Maradona’s controversial life, from the poor origin to the global glory and the last difficult years, and try to throw light on the human and sport adventure of a man who was saint and martyr, angel and devil.
