Hand of God
The 1986 World Cup in Mexico was a fateful battle for Argentines. The irreconcilable feud with Britain was revived on the field.
Argentina team met England team in the quarter-final of the knockout round. In the first half, both sides failed to make any achievement, but Maradona scored a goal by his “header” at the beginning of the second half. However, if seen from the picture, his hand hit the football when Maradona scored his goal.
But the referee on duty did not see it clearly and allowed the goal to stand. Afterwards, Maradona actually staged the classic scene of a man driving straight seventy meters on the pitch to score a goal, which was considered by many as one of the most wonderful goals in the history of the World Cup.
When asked about the goal that was suspected a handball, Maradona denied that, but later he admitted it, calling it “the hand of God”. This little Argentine humiliated his political enemy with his football skills and the “God’s will” in the match, which made the British angry but helpless.
Maradona led Argentina all the way through all obstacles, winning the FIFA World Cup in 1986. This was too important for the people of Argentina who were in dire straits. It was soothing and encouraging.

The Catholic Argentines believed that Maradona was like a man sent from heaven to save the country. He was not a saint. He smoked, drank and caused trouble, but even so, he continued his life smartly and freely like an eagle on the Pampas Steppe.
In the world of football, there is no lack of such talents as Ronaldo, who is talented and extremely self-disciplined and hard-working. But for a genius like Maradona, it's hard to imagine how capable he was. When he was still a football player, his figure began to lose shape.
He lived in Naples, participated in football match on weekends, and then enjoyed an indulgent life for three consecutive days, with only two days left for training. He was arrested by the police more than once for carrying around all kinds of contraband. But he still managed to score a goal and create miracles. In the football world, he was one of a kind.
