Summary

“Sometimes I think that my whole life is on film, that my whole life is in print。 But it’s not like that。 There are things that are only in my heart, that no one knows。”
–Diego Maradona

Soccer superstar Diego Armando Maradona was a poor boy from a Buenos Aires shantytown。 His genius with a ball took him to the heights of European and World football, and his struggle with the pressures of life inside and outside the game pulled him right back down again。 Hero or villain, one thing is certain — he was the greatest footballer of his generation — and perhaps of all time。 Now, in his own words, Maradona gives us his extraordinary story。

From his poverty-stricken origins to his greatest glories, he recounts with astonishing frankness and brilliant soccer insights the pivotal moments of a legendary life。 We see inside the mind of one of the most controversial and complex sportsmen of our times — a man torn between the demands of corporate club bosses, the fans, the media, and his own tempestuous personal life。

As we follow each of Maradona’s triumphs and despairs, deaths and resurrections, the man behind the madness is revealed — El Diego is a confessional, a revelation, an apology and a celebration。

Diego es major que dios

Insisted on honesty and truth, but if you’re familiar with his story at all you’ll know there are gaping holes in his version of events。 Huge issues that are barely addressed, his son for one, and many disparaging comments made about others with little or no context, just assumed knowledge。 I thought reading this would produce some fantastic “rock n’ roll” stories, but instead it was like reading my primary school English book from about year 2, in which on a Monday I would just regurgitate foot Insisted on honesty and truth, but if you’re familiar with his story at all you’ll know there are gaping holes in his version of events。 Huge issues that are barely addressed, his son for one, and many disparaging comments made about others with little or no context, just assumed knowledge。 I thought reading this would produce some fantastic “rock n’ roll” stories, but instead it was like reading my primary school English book from about year 2, in which on a Monday I would just regurgitate football scores that had occurred over the weekend, and maybe describe a goal I scored or witnessed。 。。。more

Arranque a leer este libro luego de la muerte de su escritor。 Para cualquier argentino fanático del fútbol, yo creo que disfrutará mucho su lectura。 Confirma y desmiente ciertos rumores de tan emblemático personaje。 Es un libro relativamente corto, pero tarde mucho en leerlo porque a veces hacía mención a muchos personajes que yo no conocía。 Lo recomiendo sólo si al lector le gusta el fútbol。 De lo contrario, se le hará pesada su lectura。

Adam Kharman

This autobiography read a little too much like an encyclopedia and not enough into the personal life of Diego。Nevertheless an opportunity to gain proximity to the workings of a footballing God who played in a generation before mine。 Inspirational story。 RIP

El Diego es el Diego, su historia contada desde su punto de vista。 La división por los distintos lugares donde pasó es fantástica y ayuda a entender un poco la vida movida que tuvo。 Lo que más me gustó es que uno lo lee y siente que Diego se lo está contando "Que no se te escape la tortuga, maestro" El Diego es el Diego, su historia contada desde su punto de vista。 La división por los distintos lugares donde pasó es fantástica y ayuda a entender un poco la vida movida que tuvo。 Lo que más me gustó es que uno lo lee y siente que Diego se lo está contando "Que no se te escape la tortuga, maestro" 。。。more

This is a very candid and colourful autobiography of one of football's most interesting characters。The book covers his playing career only, with a short epilogue covering what happened after his retirement, which turned out to be no less action packed。A very entertaining read。。。 This is a very candid and colourful autobiography of one of football's most interesting characters。The book covers his playing career only, with a short epilogue covering what happened after his retirement, which turned out to be no less action packed。A very entertaining read。。。 。。。more

Filed under DNF。Diego, IMHO was the greatest footballer to grace the pitch。 He had a pretty eventful life both on and off the field and he had a number of pretty interesting stories to tell。 Unfortunately this book is a hot mess thanks to the translation。 The narrative just reads like one massive ramble from Maradona。

I found this book written by Diego very interesting。 We are used to watching soccer games without knowing what happens behind the stage。 In this book, we get the perspective of the soccer players, their wishes, frustrations, desires, problems with authorities and other players, and the hectic life they sometimes lead between constant trips, leaving the family behind, or being booed by audiences。 While autobiographies can never be 100 unbiased, I think that Diego did a very pretty job here portra I found this book written by Diego very interesting。 We are used to watching soccer games without knowing what happens behind the stage。 In this book, we get the perspective of the soccer players, their wishes, frustrations, desires, problems with authorities and other players, and the hectic life they sometimes lead between constant trips, leaving the family behind, or being booed by audiences。 While autobiographies can never be 100 unbiased, I think that Diego did a very pretty job here portraying his greatness as a player, but his drawbacks as well。 This is a great book and we learn of who Diego is as a player。 Whether you agree with his political or personal habits and beliefs or not, I found it a very interesting and enjoyable book。 。。。more

By coincidence I just happened to be reading this book when I learned of the passing away of the legendary Diego maradona。Whilst there is no doubting the greatness of the footballer sadly I didn’t think the book was so great there were some interesting moments but reading his story in his own words just didn’t seem to be an easy read。Perhaps a biography rather than autobiography about the man would be a more enjoyable read。

Het is jammer dat de biografie van een speler en man, zo briljant en kleurrijk als Maradona, zo matig is。 De meeste autobiografieën van voetballers worden, schat ik zo, geschreven door ghostwriters。 Mocht dat hier niet gebeurd zijn, dan was het inhuren van een ghostwriter geen overbodige luxe geweest。 Het was dan ook onvoorstelbaar geweest als Maradona zo goed met de pen als met de bal was geweest。De verhalen zijn stuk voor stuk steengoed, maar de schrijfstijl maakt het boek vrijwel onleesbaar。 Het is jammer dat de biografie van een speler en man, zo briljant en kleurrijk als Maradona, zo matig is。 De meeste autobiografieën van voetballers worden, schat ik zo, geschreven door ghostwriters。 Mocht dat hier niet gebeurd zijn, dan was het inhuren van een ghostwriter geen overbodige luxe geweest。 Het was dan ook onvoorstelbaar geweest als Maradona zo goed met de pen als met de bal was geweest。De verhalen zijn stuk voor stuk steengoed, maar de schrijfstijl maakt het boek vrijwel onleesbaar。 Van een eindeloze stroom aan irrelevante details tot de kinderlijke arrogantie waarvan het boek doorspekt is, ze doen de voetballer en mens Maradona geen eer aan。 Je kunt in dit geval beter de prachtige documentaire Diego Maradona van Asif Kapadia kijken, bij voorkeur zelfs meerdere keren。 。。。more

Why shouldn't I?" 6) Maradona and drugs As early as 1982, Diego Maradona was a cocaine user。 His tryst with the drugs formed the darkest part of his life。 He was suspended for 15 months for cocaine use in 1991-1992。 His 1994 World Cup journey came to an end before the end of the group stage when he was expelled for testing positive for five variants of ephedrine, a banned substance。 In 1997 he failed a drug test for the third time in six years, putting an end to his playing career。 In his own words, Maradona says, "I have to admit that that's when I got going and in the worst possible way: when you go into it, in fact you're wanting to say 'no' and end up hearing yourself say 'yes。' Because you believe you're going to control it, you're going to be OK 。。。 and then it gets more complicated。 Cocaine, instead of motivating you, discourages you, it dulls you 。。 7) Was Maradona’s physique suitable for football? "And also because Giampiero Boniperti, who had been a player and was the president of Juve, had said that someone with a physique like mine wouldn't get anywhere。 Well, I got somewhere, didn't I? Football is so beautiful, so unlike anything else, that it finds a way to fit everyone in。 Even dwarves like me。" 8) Maradona and Napoli, a Heavenly relation Maradona joining the Napoli in Italy was one of the most important decisions he took in his life。 One French News channel reported "The poorest city in Italy, and maybe one of the poorest in Europe, therefore buys the most expensive player in the world。" But, Maradona had a different opinion。 "When I went back down the stairs into the tunnel I saw Claudia and I hugged her, weeping。 My legs were shaking again, like the time I played my first game in the first division, like the time I started at Boca。 Everything had been very intense and Claudia and I knew we were gambling our lives, we knew we were starting over。 And we were doing it in a place, in a city, that meant a lot to me。 This is why when I talked to the journalists。 I said something which came from the bottom of my heart: I want to become the idol of the poor children of Naples, because they are like I was when I lived in Buenos Aires。'"Then I realized: the stadium was full of workers, southerners the lot of them! Napoli! Napoli! They were screaming。 Amazing。 We had truly become the club of the working class, of the poor。 Even in the north, we could count on the support of the southern workers who lived there。" He proved with his life that he was not an avaricious guy and his assiduous nature and love for working-class people in Napoli showed that he was a down to earth person。 In the six years that followed, he inspired the club to two scudetti—league titles—the only two it has ever won。 9) One of the biggest lessons that big football clubs should learn from Maradona’s life "To have won Napoli's first scudetto in sixty years was, for me, an incomparable victory。 Different from any other, even the 86 World Cup。 We built Napoli from the bottom: it was proper workmanship。 The scudetto belonged to the whole city, and the people began to realize that there was no reason to be afraid: that it's not the one with the most money who wins but the one who fights the most, who wants it the most。" 10) Maradona and La Albiceleste He loved to play for his country, Argentina, more than for anyone else。 He was ready to make any sacrifice for that。 In multiple parts of this book, he mentions his travel around the world within a tight schedule to make sure that he played for his country despite being castigated by the Managers and club officials。。 His love for Argentina is reflected in multiple parts of this book。1) "But to me, it wasn't an issue of money: being Argentinian had no price tag。"2) "Our country was once again in a terrible state: the economy and the politics seem to be forever up and down, and this was a downtime。 All we did was give the people a little bit of joy, as was always my main objective on the pitch。 Not to make people forget the reality of what's going on, but to give them something, a smile, a little fun。"3) "My love for the national squad could overcome everything。 “ 11) The goal of the century In the 1986 World Cup quarter-final match against England, Maradona scored his most famous two goals。 The first one was severely criticized, which was called the 'Hand of God' goal。 "The second was, as I said, the goal you dream of as a kid。 In the potrero, when we did something like that, we used to say we'd made the opponent dizzy, that we'd made them go crazy。 It was 。。。 whenever I see it again, I can't believe I managed it, honestly。 Not because I scored it, but because it seems a goal like that just isn't possible, a goal that you could dream of but never actually score。 Now it's become a legend, and as such there's been all sorts of things said about it, like the fact that I'd thought about my brother's advice to dummy it at the keeper。 I didn't, but I did later realize that unconsciously it must have entered my head, because I finished like my brother Turco had told me to a little over six years earlier。 As I've said, in 1981, during a tour with the national squad, against England at Wembley, I'd done a very similar move but finished by sidefoodng the ball when the keeper came out。 I'd missed by a fraction and was practically celebrating the goal。 Turco phoned me and said: 'You moron! You shouldn't have sidefooted it。。。 you should have thrown a dummy, the keeper had already committed himself。' And I answered: You little s***! It's easy for you to say that, you're watching it on the telly!' But he really shut me up: 'No, Pelu, if you'd thrown a dummy, you could've dragged it towards the sideline and finished with your right, do you see?' The brat was seven years old! Well, this time, I finished as my brother wanted。" 12) Winning the Mexican World Cup,1986 " I was watching him out of the comer of my eye because I knew it wouldn't be long, it wouldn't be long at all。。。 I was watching Arppi Filho, the little Brazilian referee, and when he put his arms up and blew the final whistle, I went crazy。 I started running this way and that。 I wanted to hug everybody。 In my body, in my heart, and in my soul, I knew I was living the most sublime moment of my career。 29 June, 1986, Azteca Stadium, Mexico; that date and that place are now imprinted on my mind, on my skin。 I remember the feel of the cup in my hands; I was shaking it, I was lifting it, I was shaking it, I was kissing it, I was shaking it, I didn't know what I was doing。 I lent it to goalie Nery Pumpido for a bit, but I immediately asked for it back。 I wanted to be sure it was true - that the World Cup belonged to us, to Argentina。" 13) Maradona and Oxford University "Those people thought us footballers were ignorant。 The best reply was given not by me but by the prestigious Oxford University。 I was invited to speak at the Union there and the recognition from such an eminent place really was one of the greatest joys of my life。 Finally, I found myself standing in front of a load of students from all over the world who applauded me as' if I'd just scored the best goal of my life。” 14) Maradona’s greatest love Was football Maradona's greatest love? The answer is no, even though football was one of his favorite things。 Then what was Maradona's greatest love? "I loved - and love - playing football, but if football made my daughters cry, I could easily send football to hell。 Grateful as I am for everything it's given me, which is everything I have, still, for me, the smiles of Dalmita and Gianinna are way more important。" 。 15) Maradona and Ayrton Senna "In Formula 1, the person I liked the most was Ayrton Senna。 If I ever have a son, he will be called Ayrton, as a homage to him。 I promised him that at his graveside, when I visited it in Sao Paolo。 He was the greatest because he never held back: in the rain, when everyone else lifted their foot off, he would accelerate to the full。 You need real courage to do that。" 16) Maradona and Fidel Castro "I've also had the opportunity to meet many celebrities, many important people, who are not from the world of sport。 Of all of them, I choose one。 The one who most impressed me, and I can't see anyone surpassing him, is without doubt Fidel Castro。 Every time I see him, I still get nervous, I'm moved, emotional。I felt like I'd been talking to an encyclopedia。 Seeing him was like touching the sky with my hands。 He's a beast who knows about everything and his presence allows you to understand, just by looking at him, how he did what he did with ten soldiers and three rifles。And, well, what he's done for me during recent times is indescribable。 I like to say that for this whole being alive thing, I can only thank the two Beards: God and Fidel。" My favourite lines from this book "Once, a Dutchman told me he thought that second goal in 1986 was the only miracle of the twentieth century。 He was dead serious。 ” "I thought about everything that had happened to me in just a couple of years。 And a phrase stayed in my soul: ' People have to understand that Maradona isn't a happiness-making machine。" "I've always had faith in myself。 The thing about football is you have to prove something every day。 ” "I m free, I'm free, I'm happy。 At last, you'll be able to see me on a pitch, with a ball。 At last。" Rating 5/5 Thank you, Maradona, for becoming an icon, a role model, a legend for millions of people。 Thank you, Maradona, for writing this brilliant autobiography straight from your heart。 "Maradó, Maradó", nació la mano de Dios, "Maradó, Maradó"。 Llenó alegría en el pueblo, regó de gloria este suelo。。。 Olé, olé, olé, olé, Diego, Diego。。 。。。more

An insight into Maradona’s view of Maradona。 Take it with a pinch of salt。 Entertaining nonetheless。

There are few autobiographies where the individual comes off worse than your initial perception。 However, Maradona is the exception - clearly an immoral and overall unlikeable character。 Nevertheless an interesting read and account of a sporting genius。
