Overview

"In early 2020, when the new corona virus was raging, soccer star Diego Maradona and his old teammates made contributions to the fight against the epidemic in Argentina, helping produce edited videos of a series of classic games so as to provide a warm light for fans in the darkness of quarantine. One of the matches from 30 years ago made Diego feel filled with emotion. While reviewing the match considered an ""epic battle"" by the Argentines, this book also tells the story of the Argentine teammates who went through many twists and turns, fighting against all the adversities in the 1990 World Cup, and who, in the end, did not disappoint their people's expectations, reaching the World Cup final once again, subverting the powerful of football. As ""D10S"" of the game in the hearts of millions of fans, Maradona's life has gone from fighting for his nation's honors to the prosperous history of personal ups and downs, which is more fascinating than any fictional football story. Starting from a fan's own experience and combining the details of the match, this book represents the careers of several players such as Maradona, Caniggia, Goycochea, etc., and their personal achievements and failures. It shows the excitement of Argentine soccer from multiple angles--of admiration, laughter, success, regrets .... The many scenes and anecdotes in the book constitute a jigsaw-styled biography of the football king and a colorful history of the Argentine team."
