00:00:00The end of the day
00:00:29The end of the day
00:00:59The end of the day
00:01:29The end of the day
00:02:00To the 60,000 fans here with us today
00:02:04And to the 1 billion international viewers around the world
00:02:09The United States of America
00:02:12Warmly welcomes you to World Cup USA 1994
00:02:18Up until that time the U.S. had been frankly a disaster on the world football scene
00:02:41Basically the World Cup and international football was Europe and South America
00:02:46The rest of the world basically didn't exist in their sphere
00:02:51Europeans were apoplectic as soon as the announcement was made
00:02:55How could this possibly go to the United States?
00:02:59They're basically sports barbarians
00:03:01They know nothing about the game
00:03:03They absolutely cannot host a World Cup
00:03:07They don't know what to do
00:03:08It was pretty unbridled criticism right from the get-go
00:03:11I was convinced that when it comes to a big event
00:03:21The Americans will be there
00:03:23Because they like big events
00:03:25And they like big stars
00:03:27And this was behind the idea
00:03:31To bring this world cup
00:03:34We were the first time that they had a serious opening ceremony
00:03:45Everything we were doing was showing FIFA and the world
00:03:48That basically how to do a big event
00:03:51You know, don't just open the stadium doors
00:03:53And welcome the people
00:03:55And send the players out of the field
00:03:56But really create all that hoopla, if you will
00:03:59Ladies and gentlemen
00:04:04A carnival of countries celebrates
00:04:06As World Cup USA

00:04:37Llega a cable
00:04:38Donde dice
00:04:39Que un importante deportista
00:04:42Va a ser detenido en el barrio de Caballito
00:04:45Por tenencia de droga
00:04:49Germán era el chofer de él
00:04:55Germán sale volando
00:04:57Y llega tarde
00:04:59Llega la policía
00:05:04Diego Maradona
00:05:06Es él
00:05:07Es Diego
00:05:08No se puede llegar
00:05:10Hasta Diego
00:05:11Estábamos en el hotel Amán
00:05:15De Zurich
00:05:16Y Daniel prende la televisión
00:05:18Y cuando prende la televisión
00:05:20Pero increíble
00:05:22La imagen de Diego
00:05:24Saliendo de esa casa
00:05:25En caballito
00:05:26Estaba la policía
00:05:27Estaba en los medios
00:05:28Estaba la radio
00:05:29Estaba en los diarios
00:05:30Estaba el que vendía pancho
00:05:31Estaba el que vendía gaseosa
00:05:32Todo el mundo
00:05:33Había 300 personas afuera
00:05:34Que habían encontrado Diego
00:05:46Con dos o tres amigos
00:05:47Y algunas chicas
00:05:48No sé
00:05:49Como no recuerdo bien
00:05:50Y que lo habían detenido
00:05:51Porque lo habían encontrado
00:05:53Drogado
00:05:55Que había droga
00:05:57Y me entero que Diego
00:06:01Estaba preso
00:06:03Entonces
00:06:05Me dirigí a la comisaría
00:06:07Y ahí lo vi
00:06:08Estaba en ese momento
00:06:10En un mal estado
00:06:11¿Cuándo usted tendría
00:06:12Alguna referencia concreta
00:06:13Entonces
00:06:14¿De qué pasa con Maradona?
00:06:16No me lo digan acá
00:06:18Usted va a esperar que lo llame
00:06:19No va a tratar de seguir
00:06:20Indagando información
00:06:21Aparentemente
00:06:22Hasta tanto sepan acá
00:06:23Qué es lo que va a pasar
00:06:24Lo que sí recuerdo
00:06:26Como anécdota
00:06:27Que
00:06:29En su tránsito de vuelta
00:06:31Hasta la celda
00:06:33Que tendría
00:06:34Los demás detenidos
00:06:35Le cantaban
00:06:37Lo cual me
00:06:38Produjo gracia
00:06:40En ese momento
00:06:41En ese momento
00:06:42En ese momento
00:06:43En ese momento
00:06:44Lo cual me
00:06:45Produjo gracia
00:06:46¿No?
00:06:52El caso Maradona
00:06:53Futbolista detenido
00:06:54Por presunto consumo
00:06:55Y tenencia de drogas
00:06:56Ha conmovido
00:06:57A toda Argentina
00:06:58Mientras el ídolo
00:06:59Era trasladado
00:07:00Hacia los tribunales
00:07:01Para ser interrogado
00:07:02Por segunda vez
00:07:03En menos de 24 horas
00:07:04El propio presidente Menem
00:07:06Se ha declarado
00:07:07Conmovido
00:07:08Por la noticia
00:07:09Disgraced soccer star
00:07:11Diogo Maradona
00:07:12Is now in hiding
00:07:13After being hit
00:07:14With a 15 month
00:07:16Worldwide suspension
00:07:17For using cocaine
00:07:18The career
00:07:19Of one of the all time
00:07:20Greats
00:07:21Is all but over
00:07:22Maradona
00:07:36I loved him
00:07:37I was in love
00:07:39With him
00:07:40I really wanted
00:07:42The best of him
00:07:43I was with him
00:07:45I was with him
00:07:46Mentally
00:07:47I said
00:07:48This Maradona
00:07:49He must survive
00:07:50He must be there
00:07:51He must come back
00:07:56He wanted to play football
00:07:57Again
00:07:58Then
00:07:59The next big step
00:08:00Was then
00:08:01The World Cup
00:08:02In 94
00:08:06And the Americans
00:08:07They like stars
00:08:08And they wanted to have stars
00:08:11And he was one of the stars
00:08:14And this is my responsibility
00:08:16To take him there
00:08:18To take him there
00:08:19But really
00:08:20I wanted to have him
00:08:21As a human being
00:08:22But also as a star
00:08:24To show the earth
00:08:25In football
00:08:26In the United States
00:08:27We have a star
00:08:29And so I was instrumental
00:08:33For this transfer
00:08:35To Sevilla
00:08:36The idea of
00:08:37The idea of
00:08:38Fishing a Maradona
00:08:39In the United States
00:08:40The idea of
00:08:41The idea of
00:08:43The idea of
00:08:44Fishing a Maradona
00:08:45In the way
00:08:46A part of
00:08:47The Flatter
00:08:48FIFA
00:08:49The idea of
00:08:50The idea of
00:08:51The idea of
00:08:52That he could be
00:08:53The icon of
00:08:54The World
00:08:55Of the United States
00:08:56Carlos Salvador Bilardo
00:08:57Ex-selector
00:08:58In the Argentina
00:08:59And
00:09:00The coach of Sevilla
00:09:01sevilla y le propone a luis cuerva que era el presidente del sevilla la posibilidad de incorporar
00:09:06a diego maradona se escuchó que podía ser una posibilidad pero ninguno pensamos que
00:09:14fuera real hasta que ya bilardo en un momento determinado nos reúne en una habitación del
00:09:18hotel y nos comunica que digo armando va a venir que maradona era una persona muy especial no se
00:09:25habló de nada más pero muy especial y que nosotros teníamos que ayudarle a él a volver a ser el que
00:09:33había sido porque eso iba a repercutir en positivo en el equipo
00:09:42el fichaje de maradona supuso la internacionalización del sevilla fútbol club diego era una estrella
00:09:51mediática además de una estrella futbolística y donde diego iba pues los medios de comunicación
00:09:57se volcaban porque el mundo entero estaba pendiente de lo que él hacía
00:10:07el sevilla era consciente de los problemas que diego maradona había tenido con la droga pero
00:10:14la vida siempre que darle una segunda oportunidad a aquel que se equivoca y el sevilla creyó en que
00:10:21a través de nuestro club diego podía nuevamente incorporarse a la vida ordenada y a la vida de
00:10:28deportistas de alto nivel
00:10:29el sevilla
00:10:36y
00:10:38I'm a Maradona, because,
00:10:40my mother,
00:10:41that's my hometown,
00:10:43Sevilla,
00:10:45with the pride of the Lord,
00:10:48until the death
00:10:51I'm a Christian.
00:10:56I could listen to it and say,
00:10:58I didn't believe it,
00:11:00I didn't believe it.
00:11:01We said it was a bit of marketing,
00:11:03but the rumor was more big.
00:11:06And when it comes,
00:11:08people are happy,
00:11:10it's a feast.
00:11:11It's our idol,
00:11:12of many of us,
00:11:13of our age.
00:11:15And when I came to the team,
00:11:17I thought,
00:11:18if he had a turn in the Napoli,
00:11:19it could be in the Sevilla.
00:11:20He had a small team.
00:11:30I had seen him win a World Cup,
00:11:32the famous man,
00:11:34the goal to England,
00:11:36I saw that with 14 or 15 years old,
00:11:38and suddenly, with 22 years old,
00:11:39I was sitting on my side.
00:11:41So, the impact is very high.
00:11:43So,
00:11:44that now,
00:11:45you can only extrapolate
00:11:46to a child who had seen a Messi
00:11:48win titles,
00:11:49and suddenly,
00:11:50you share a vestuario.
00:11:52Something similar.
00:11:54That's a great point.
00:11:55The next one,
00:11:56in the future,
00:11:57in the future...
00:11:58I remember perfect.
00:11:59I remember,
00:12:00I was a great one.
00:12:01I was great.
00:12:02It was incredible.
00:12:03I got the gun.
00:12:04You see us on the TV,
00:12:07we saw the sport,
00:12:08there were images,
00:12:09we saw it
00:12:10but you never could see it
00:12:13in the green,
00:12:14with your shirt.
00:12:15You saw it
00:12:16with your shirt,
00:12:17And the spectacles that I did that day, that's what it is.
00:12:24Maradona.
00:12:26Maradona, the first, looking to Bango.
00:12:27Bango, the head, Monchu, goal!
00:12:29Goal!
00:12:31Goal!
00:12:32From Sevilla.
00:12:33I'm crying out of fear, of joy, of so many things,
00:12:36because it's been two years,
00:12:38two years since I've been playing with people,
00:12:41since I've been playing an official game,
00:12:43and it cost me a lot.
00:12:45But, above all, I'm not defrauding the people who believed in me,
00:12:49people like Mr. Cuerva, Mr. Del Nido,
00:12:52the people of Sevilla who believed in Maradona,
00:12:54and, well, today we've been able to demonstrate the first triumph,
00:12:57and we hope we can continue.
00:13:02Being absent from football and being able to return to his activity
00:13:07motivated him.
00:13:09That's why his change of spirit
00:13:11and his form of life, let's say.
00:13:15What did you do to do with you in Sevilla?
00:13:18What did you do to do with you in Sevilla?
00:13:20What did you do to do with you in Sevilla?
00:13:22What did you do to do with you in Sevilla?
00:13:23Diego en Sevilla siempre estuvo contento.
00:13:26Le gustó.
00:13:28Era hermoso estar ahí.
00:13:30La pasaba muy bien.
00:13:31Bilardo lo tenía como un rey.
00:13:34Y su familia también, Claudia, las nenas,
00:13:38las nenas eran chiquitas en ese momento.
00:13:40Él estaba feliz, él estaba en su salsa,
00:13:44como nosotros decimos normalmente.
00:13:52Todo el mundo tenía dudas de cuándo íbamos a poder ver
00:13:54al Maradona importante.
00:13:57Y yo creo que el partido del Madrid fue la primera vez que detectamos que podía volver.
00:14:16Él veía las cosas más rápido que los demás.
00:14:19Tenía un último pase rapidísimo y, bueno,
00:14:21su habilidad con el balón y con la cabeza era innato.
00:14:24¿Cómo se movía ahí?
00:14:29En esa zona venía a recibir.
00:14:32Era letal.
00:14:39Los dos jugadores extranjeros eran Davor Zucker,
00:14:42Cholo Simeone y Diego Armando Maradona.
00:14:47Es increíble que con este equipo no consiguieramos un título.
00:14:54Diego estaba pletórico.
00:15:02Diego estuvo durante la mitad, la mitad de su estancia en Sevilla,
00:15:14como nunca había estado.
00:15:20Estaba tan bien, tan bien, tan bien,
00:15:24que estaba en la vida de la vida de la vida de la vida de la vida de la vida de la vida.
00:15:24Que llegó la fatídica convocatoria del Coco Basile,
00:15:31otrora seleccionador de Argentina,
00:15:35para disputar un amistoso que significaba el retorno de Diego,
00:15:42el rey Diego, primero de Argentina, a su país.
00:15:47El Sevilla, paralelamente, el miércoles tenía que jugar un partido, creo, de Copa en Logroño.
00:15:55Yo creo que la relación entre Maradona y el Sevilla cambia fue con motivo de una convocatoria de la selección argentina,
00:16:05tanto a Diego Pablo Simeone y a Diego Maradona.
00:16:08Era un partido amistoso, el Sevilla no le dio permiso, el entrenador se metió por medio y ahí ya hubo un conflicto imposible de superar.
00:16:18Pero tú a Diego no le pudo decir, te prohíbo que vayas allí, por mis narices.
00:16:28Claro, por sus narices, Diego tiene muchas narices.
00:16:34Y digo, ah sí, pues yo me voy.
00:16:36Y se fue.
00:16:48Y sinceramente no pienso que nadie haya pensado que podría haber vuelto a jugar para Argentina.
00:17:03En ese momento, si hay una persona que te dice que sabía que Diego iba a volver, te está mintiendo.
00:17:10La verdad que pensé que yo había llegado tarde al mundo del fútbol y él ya había salido.
00:17:17¡Lleguito Pablo!
00:17:22Ya va a venir, ya llegará.
00:17:27Maradona se preparaba para mundiales, no se preparaba para ligas.
00:17:31Maradona sabía que los clubes eran un medio para estar en forma para llegar a un mundial.
00:17:38Eso no lo ha hecho nadie.
00:17:39Entonces él cuando le niegan esa posibilidad o le ponen dificultad a esa posibilidad,
00:17:43su conducta con respecto al Sevilla cambia.
00:17:47Digo, Armando Maradona tenía mucha influencia sobre un sector importante de la plantilla, ¿no?
00:17:54Y porque eran jóvenes, porque lo veían como un ídolo,
00:17:58porque lo veían como un astro del deporte al que se dedicaban, del fútbol, inalcanzable.
00:18:03Y entonces se dejaban llevar.
00:18:05Ante eso, pues decidimos contratar los servicios de un asesor detective que vigilara su movimiento.
00:18:14Había una orden, algunos días, que era esperar aquí la salida de jugadores.
00:18:33Entonces él siempre llevaba, digo, siempre llevaba el Porsche, salía a toda velocidad.
00:18:43Esperábamos enfrente, dos motos grandes y detrás con las motos, en coche era imposible.
00:18:50Y era tremendo. Era una aventura de película.
00:19:03Bueno, el trabajo era simple.
00:19:11Quieren saber si Diego cumple su compromiso con el contrato.
00:19:17Yo recuerdo estar sentado y entonces llegó él con el coche.
00:19:23Tenía un Porsche. Sonaba como un tiro.
00:19:25Y empezó a hablar y estaba un poco preocupado.
00:19:28Y le preguntaba, ¿qué pasa, Diego?
00:19:30Y dice, hay un señor con una moto que está siempre cerca de mi coche.
00:19:36Y entonces llegaba a cualquier sitio, aparecía la motito, decía siempre en la misma moto.
00:19:41Y entonces él ya supuso, lógicamente, que alguien le estaba vigilando.
00:19:47Ese inmueble era un burdel muy conocido en la época de los años 90 aquí en Sevilla.
00:19:55Se llamaba La Casita.
00:19:57Era un sitio de gente con mucho dinero.
00:20:00Venían políticos, venían gente famosa.
00:20:04Venían aquí y estaban las prostitutas más selectas de Sevilla, en esta zona.
00:20:11Y aquí vino varias veces, sí, algunos vídeos, sí se tomaron aquí.
00:20:17Cuando a Maradona lo deciden ver que era la vida nocturna de Maradona,
00:20:29eso lo molestó mucho.
00:20:31Y él se dejó estar.
00:20:33Maradona era alguien que cuanto más lo presionaba, su rebeldía era terrible, terrible.
00:20:44Porque él tomó un camino y que los caminos que él tomaba no había marcha atrás.
00:20:49En Sevilla, un día salimos, él me contaba y me decía, ¿sabes qué pasa, Arito?
00:21:01Esto vos vas subiendo.
00:21:03Cuando llegarás a lo más alto, estás tan solo que no hay nadie que te diga el camino.
00:21:10Y yo tomé el camino equivocado.
00:21:12Efectivamente, pudimos comprobar que llevaba una mala vida.
00:21:21E intentamos ayudarle, primero tapando ante los medios de comunicación lo que estaba ocurriendo
00:21:27y después haciéndole ver que esa vida no le conducía a nada bueno.
00:21:38Ya a raíz de las noticias que van saliendo, él ya se le veía un poquito más apático.
00:21:43Ya no era, además se le veía un poquito más reservado,
00:21:46no tan alegre como antes cuando venía en cualquier entrenamiento,
00:21:50antes de saltar campo estaba saludando a todas las gradas,
00:21:53se pegaba todo el partido saludando a todo el mundo,
00:21:54porque eran 300 personas las que la saludaban.
00:21:57Y ya cuando eso en una parte ya era menos.
00:21:59Y la verdad sí se nota, se le notaba.
00:22:02Después los partidos también.
00:22:10Yo fui testigo de su ascenso a la cima y su caída.
00:22:14Yo creo que ya no era él, ¿no?
00:22:15Era lo que la cocaína le permitía o decidía que le hiciera.
00:22:19¿Cómo no dio positivo durante su tiempo acá?
00:22:25Vamos a ver.
00:22:28Esa es una buena pregunta.
00:22:32Oficialmente, porque los controles antidopaje eran bastante laxos.
00:22:39A lo mejor en ese bote el orine de Diego no era el suyo.
00:22:44¿Pudiera ser?
00:22:48A lo mejor había alguien que hacía pipí por él.
00:22:52Mientras la relación de Carlos Salvador Bilardo y Diego Armando Maradona
00:23:05fue de padre-hijo, todo fue bien.
00:23:11Pero cuando Diego ya no tuvo buena relación con Bilardo, se rompió todo.
00:23:22Se produjo en un partido puntual un choque de trenes.
00:23:29Fue contra el Burgos.
00:23:40Inesperadamente, Bilardo cambió a Maradona.
00:23:44Jamás habían cambiado a Maradona.
00:23:50Jamás.
00:23:56Nosotros pensábamos que era algo normal.
00:23:59Maradona nunca era sustituido.
00:24:01Pero no pensamos que ese día iba a suceder todo lo que sucedió.
00:24:05Esa fue la gota que rebansó el vaso.
00:24:16Él no lo soportó, lo insultó delante de todas las cámaras,
00:24:20sabiendo perfectamente lo que hacía.
00:24:22Entonces, con Marco bajamos rápidamente el vestuario,
00:24:25porque de ahí obviamente nos íbamos a ir.
00:24:27Señor Bilardo, en cualquier caso no era una forma muy adecuada
00:24:29de despedirse de la afición sevillista,
00:24:31sobre todo por parte de Diego y por parte de usted.
00:24:34¿Esperaba algo mal aficiando usted?
00:24:35Yo creo que se hizo lo posible.
00:24:37Es decir, un minuto ahí es una desgracia que ocurre.
00:24:41Pero el equipo se hizo todo para poder ganar.
00:24:47Después nos fuimos a la casa,
00:24:49junto con Marco Franchi y Daniel Bolonikov.
00:24:52Y estando ahí, suena el portero eléctrico y atiendo yo.
00:24:59¿Quién es?
00:25:00Yo soy Carlos, soy Carlos.
00:25:01Era Bilardo.
00:25:03Ah, bueno, pasé a Carlos.
00:25:04Entonces cuando pasó, llegó y dice,
00:25:05¿dónde está Diego?
00:25:06Arriba.
00:25:07Estaba mirando televisión.
00:25:08Y ahí se generó una discusión,
00:25:11se fueron a las manos.
00:25:13Y bueno, fue la culminación.
00:25:18Y cuando subimos, fue de risa,
00:25:22porque Diego estaba arriba de un puff rojo,
00:25:24me acuerdo, frente al televisor,
00:25:26en guardia,
00:25:26y Carlos sentado en la pareja.
00:25:29Parece que se había revelado, se había caído.
00:25:33Ya no vuelve a entrenar más con el Sevilla.
00:25:37Y se fue a la semana siguiente.
00:25:38Bilardo me confesó ya pasados varios años
00:25:44que se equivocó, que metió la pata hasta aquí.
00:25:49José, la cagué.
00:25:53Y la acabó.
00:25:54Maradona era indominable, ingobernable.
00:26:08Un día estaba con Fidel en Cuba.
00:26:10Después estaba preso porque consumía cocaína.
00:26:13Después lo suspendía la FIFA.
00:26:16Las mil vidas de Maradona.
00:26:17Bueno, Maradona tenía algo muy especial.
00:26:27Carisma impresionante.
00:26:30Pocas veces vi que generara ese nivel de adoración.
00:26:38Como que no le podías decir que no.
00:26:40Nadie le podía decir que no a Diego Maradona.
00:26:44Y se le perdonaba todo.
00:26:45Siempre se le perdonó todo a Maradona.
00:26:48Creo que eso fue un error de todos nosotros.
00:26:52Haberle perdonado absolutamente todo.
00:27:03El equipo colombiano es bárbaro.
00:27:05Lo viste por la televisión.
00:27:06Juegan muy bien al fútbol.
00:27:08Sí, pero yo creo que...
00:27:10Ellos con el segundo puesto están bien.
00:27:14Ellos...
00:27:14Ellos no pueden romper la historia.
00:27:17Ellos no deben romper la historia.
00:27:19Nosotros los argentinos tenemos que seguir históricamente como estamos.
00:27:24O sea, Argentina arriba, Colombia abajo.
00:27:27Y ahí está todo bien.
00:27:28El fútbol no lo puede cambiar un equipo colombiano.
00:27:32Que juega muy bien al fútbol.
00:27:33Fue un día muy especial porque en esta cancha había mucha gente.
00:27:42Mucha gente.
00:27:44Diego vivía muy cerquita de acá.
00:27:47En la calle Correa y Libertador.
00:27:49Yo fui hasta la casa.
00:27:50Vinimos en su camioneta.
00:27:53Ingresó al estacionamiento.
00:27:54Y subimos por ese sector.
00:27:57La entrada del medio.
00:27:58Donde están los asientos más oscuros.
00:28:01Y nos ubicamos más o menos a esta altura.
00:28:05Ahí estaba el padre.
00:28:06Venía con nosotros.
00:28:08Estaba Franchi.
00:28:09Estaba Volonikov.
00:28:12Estaba...
00:28:14Estaba Claudia, por supuesto.
00:28:17Señoras y señores, Leo Rodríguez, Borelli.
00:28:21El pelotazo es para Ramón Ismael Medina Bello.
00:28:23Wilson Pérez, que está en la marca.
00:28:25Viene Batistuta.
00:28:26La jugaba para Simeone.
00:28:27Interceptaba.
00:28:28Alecci Mendoza.
00:28:28Este es Batibati.
00:28:29Batibati.
00:28:33Teníamos las ganas de ganar.
00:28:35Y queríamos ir al Mundial.
00:28:36Nos estábamos jugando la chance de ir al Mundial.
00:28:40Y nosotros estábamos seguros de que íbamos a ganar.
00:28:43No teníamos dudas.
00:28:45El Mencho está habilitado.
00:28:46Vamos Mencho, Mencho, Mencho.
00:28:48Una mano que nos da intención al centro del Mencho.
00:28:54El partido contra Colombia arranca con un clima de euforia.
00:28:59Vamos, vamos, Argentina.
00:29:02Era como un trámite.
00:29:03Era, lo vamos a resolver.
00:29:05Se va a resolver fácil, qué sé yo.
00:29:07Era como, resolvamos esto y saquémonos encima y empecemos a pensar en el Mundial.
00:29:12Y a medida que iba pasando el partido, era como que todos nos empezábamos a mirar y decíamos,
00:29:16che, esto no está tan fácil, esto se está complicando.
00:29:21Empiezan los goles, ¿no?
00:29:22Borrelli, Valderrama, Zapata que lo estaba persiguiendo, Río Rodríguez que se acerca, Simeone que quiere, la pelota la tiene, ahora Fregorincón, Fregorincón.
00:29:30Y es que lo vivimos mal, porque uno a cero para ellos, lo recuperamos, pensábamos.
00:29:43Dos a cero, vamos que se puede.
00:29:45El tercer gol, ya hay murmullo, murmullo, se escucha, la gente ya no atinaba a nada.
00:29:56Diego no decía nada, no decía nada, no decía nada, no decía nada.
00:29:59Pero nada, ni siquiera insultaba.
00:30:10Bueno, este fue uno de los momentos feos de esta época,
00:30:15donde vos veías que los simpatizantes nuestros estaban aplaudiendo a Colombia como un poco de sarcasmo
00:30:23y eso interiormente nos estaba matando.
00:30:29Después de verlo, después de tantos años, duele.
00:30:39No lo volví a ver este partido yo.
00:30:47Arranca otra vez, Asprila.
00:30:50Señoras y señores, el partido está 4 a 0 en 30 minutos.
00:30:56Esto fue histórico de Argentina.
00:30:59No creo que haya antecedentes de una victoria de este tipo por este marcador.
00:31:05Un equipo argentino totalmente desordenado.
00:31:07El clima era de cuando vos no podés creer.
00:31:16La gente no podía creer el baile que le estaba pegando Colombia a la Argentina.
00:31:21Asprila, la pedía para dentro de la lucha, 5 a 0 en 39 minutos del segundo tiempo.
00:31:29Todo el público, al promediar el segundo tiempo, comenzara a gritar de manera simultánea y espontáneamente.
00:31:40Empezó un himno, una liturgia, un rito.
00:31:48Maradona, Maradona, Maradona, Maradona, Maradona.
00:31:53Que era como decir, te estoy diciendo rotundamente que queremos a Maradona.
00:31:59Maradona, Maradona, Maradona, Maradona, Maradona, Maradona.
00:32:05Maradona, Maradona, Maradona no puede estar en una lista automáticamente.
00:32:16Siempre lo que he manifestado, e incluso el técnico lo ha dicho, está en condiciones Maradona.
00:32:22Ya prácticamente está en la selección.
00:32:23It was incredible, but it was a very difficult feeling,
00:32:29because one really wanted Argentina to win,
00:32:32but also, being on the side of it,
00:32:34I was proud of that people wanted it so much.
00:32:37And when I finished the game,
00:32:40I don't want to mistake myself,
00:32:42but the words were more or less like this.
00:32:44Guys, I'm going to go back.
00:32:53A million viewers will tune to the Sydney Football Stadium
00:32:56to witness Australia play Argentina
00:32:58for the rights to become a finalist in next year's World Cup.
00:33:02To win, Australia must not only beat a world-class team,
00:33:05but also a legend, Diego Maradona.
00:33:09The European Union
00:33:14The European Union
00:33:19The European Union
00:33:21The European Union
00:33:22The European Union
00:33:23The European Union
00:33:24The European Union
00:33:25After the defeat against Colombia,
00:33:28there were great possibilities
00:33:31to not play the World Cup.
00:33:34You have the last possibility.
00:33:38You have to win the European Union
00:33:41the European Union
00:33:42The European Union
00:33:43Who is the European Union?
00:33:45Australia
00:33:49A Diego lo llaman
00:33:50only because of having lost with Colombia.
00:33:52If Argentina
00:33:53wins the European Union
00:33:54and the European Union
00:33:55I doubt that Diego
00:33:56won the World Cup.
00:33:57I doubt it.
00:33:58It was inevitable
00:33:59that Maradona
00:34:00played the two games
00:34:01with the Australians
00:34:02because
00:34:04the voice of the people
00:34:05is the voice of God.
00:34:07So
00:34:08to Grondona
00:34:09and Basile
00:34:10no other way
00:34:11to convocarlo.
00:34:16Grondona
00:34:17was an important figure
00:34:19in the FIFA
00:34:20and Australia
00:34:22was a Benjamin
00:34:23of the FIFA
00:34:24because
00:34:26he belongs to
00:34:27a continent
00:34:29of a football
00:34:32of an incipient football.
00:34:35So, Grondona
00:34:36proposed to the Australian
00:34:39football
00:34:40that
00:34:41it was not worth
00:34:42doing
00:34:43to control
00:34:44anti-doping.
00:34:45So,
00:34:46he played
00:34:47without control
00:34:48anti-doping.
00:34:49It's very suspect
00:34:50that there was no control
00:34:51anti-doping control.
00:34:52It's very suspect.
00:34:53There were
00:34:54antecedents
00:34:55of Diego
00:34:56who had had
00:34:57conflicts
00:34:58with drugs.
00:34:59Argentina
00:35:00needed to win
00:35:01those parties.
00:35:02I leave
00:35:04in the imagination
00:35:06of the people
00:35:07that they
00:35:09look for
00:35:10why
00:35:11there was no
00:35:12dopage.
00:35:13I think
00:35:14we all
00:35:16will get
00:35:17out of
00:35:18the
00:35:19first
00:35:20of
00:35:21the
00:35:22team.
00:35:23I think
00:35:24everyone
00:35:25gets
00:35:26looking at
00:35:27the
00:35:28chest.
00:35:29It was such a
00:35:30big pride
00:35:31having
00:35:32to be
00:35:33as
00:35:34as
00:35:35as
00:35:36as
00:35:37as
00:35:38as
00:35:39as
00:35:40as
00:35:41as
00:35:42as
00:35:43as
00:35:43and that was a total contagion.
00:35:51He influenced everything.
00:35:53He made you believe that everything was possible.
00:35:58And all that was affected by the environment.
00:36:02Hinchada, periodism,
00:36:04he influenced the players.
00:36:07It was a Maradona to be a machine.
00:36:13It was not a brilliant Maradona,
00:36:15but he managed to send the center
00:36:17so that Balbo could turn the ball into the head,
00:36:20to establish the 1-1
00:36:22and come to Buenos Aires
00:36:23with at least a win in the bag.
00:36:37Maestro, thank you.
00:36:42I say thank you to everyone who made my turn possible.
00:36:50I have to say thank you, really.
00:36:53And especially to Grondona,
00:36:56to Coco,
00:36:58to my colleagues
00:37:00for having received me again in this selection.
00:37:07The second one in Argentina
00:37:09was won,
00:37:10minimally,
00:37:11but we had classified
00:37:14very,
00:37:16very,
00:37:17very adjusted.
00:37:37Hello, world.
00:37:38Welcome to the USA.
00:37:41Hello, world.
00:37:42Welcome to the USA.
00:37:46It's part of my job
00:37:47to make sure nothing gets past me.
00:37:49And now,
00:37:50on to Las Vegas
00:37:51and the final draw.
00:37:56Live from Caesar's Palace,
00:37:58it's the 1994 FIFA World Cup final draw.
00:38:07Came to the final draw,
00:38:08and we decided that we are going to actually have this in Las Vegas.
00:38:13What more American experience,
00:38:16good, bad, or indifferent,
00:38:18could you have than an event in Las Vegas?
00:38:26It really was a trial run for the entire tournament.
00:38:31We wanted it to be bigger and better
00:38:34and more impactful
00:38:36than, you know,
00:38:38any draw before it.
00:38:40It is with great pride and humility
00:38:42that I accept this trophy,
00:38:44the most sought after prize in the world of sports.
00:38:47The global community has set the highest standards
00:38:50for us to meet this summer.
00:38:51The United States proudly accepts the challenge.
00:38:54Here is the General Secretary of FIFA,
00:39:01Sepp Blatter.
00:39:05Really, Alan Rottenberg and his team,
00:39:07they made it great.
00:39:09This is America.
00:39:11And this was something exceptional.
00:39:14Please welcome actor-comedian,
00:39:15Robin Williams!
00:39:21Mr. Blatter,
00:39:22So nice to meet you after feeling you for so many years.
00:39:25Nice to have you.
00:39:27Robin Williams was an amazing talent.
00:39:30But the episode that everybody remembers
00:39:32is him referring to Sepp Blatter
00:39:36as Sepp Blatter.
00:39:38D-D-E-R, not T-T-E-R.
00:39:41Robin, that's wonderful.
00:39:43Or shall I say, Mrs. Doubtfire?
00:39:45Oh, thank you, Mr. Blatter.
00:39:47Funny, I met you just in the men's room a moment.
00:39:54I have to say, that's...
00:39:56It was not so easy.
00:39:57It was not so easy.
00:39:58Across the nation,
00:40:02America is getting ready
00:40:04for the World Cup kickoff.
00:40:08The police are preparing for the worst.
00:40:12Hostile activity that involves
00:40:13rock throwing and bottle throwing.
00:40:14They're ready for hooligans,
00:40:17relieved that England
00:40:19and its fans are not coming.
00:40:24Quite frankly,
00:40:25Alan Rothenberg was overjoyed
00:40:27that England didn't qualify.
00:40:29And I think where he went right away
00:40:32was that the security budget
00:40:34could be halved.
00:40:36FIFA and the World Cup Organizing Committee
00:40:41took a very, very strong, proactive stance
00:40:44on the doping procedures
00:40:47and the doping messaging.
00:40:52In New York, we had a seminar
00:40:53with all the participants,
00:40:55and then we went through everything,
00:40:57and doping was for sure also part of it.
00:40:59They knew what was coming.
00:41:001988, Ben Johnson,
00:41:05it was the case.
00:41:06And from that on,
00:41:09FIFA took doping more serious than before.
00:41:12And this is one of the merits of Sepp Blatter,
00:41:15that he really took the problems seriously,
00:41:17you know.
00:41:18A ver, Maradona siempre era noticia,
00:41:33por una u otra razón.
00:41:37Ella había desaparecido,
00:41:38nadie sabía dónde estaba durante,
00:41:41creo que días incluso, ¿no?
00:41:43Y de repente se supo que estaba en Moreno.
00:41:46Entonces, bueno,
00:41:47todos los canales,
00:41:50todos los medios,
00:41:51fuimos,
00:41:52mandaron su equipo de periodistas
00:41:54a hacer la cobertura.
00:41:59Bueno, lo que pasa es que Diego
00:42:00se iba a la quinta
00:42:03un poco para aislarse,
00:42:05hasta que los periodistas detectaron
00:42:07que estaba allí.
00:42:12Yo fui a hablar con ellos,
00:42:14porque me pidió Diego
00:42:15que fuera a hablar,
00:42:16para que él se fuese,
00:42:17lo dejasen tranquilo.
00:42:19Bueno,
00:42:20conseguimos el resultado inverso.
00:42:26Cada vez había más.
00:42:29Después querían abrir
00:42:31la puerta,
00:42:32el portón para entrar.
00:42:33Llegamos a la Quinta Moreno,
00:42:38y le grito,
00:42:39Pelu, Pelu,
00:42:41soy yo, Lito.
00:42:43Entonces me abre,
00:42:44y me hacen pasar.
00:42:46Y yo veo que está con un rifle
00:42:48de aire comprimido,
00:42:49apoyado en el Mercedes.
00:42:52Pongo los brazos,
00:42:54y le digo,
00:42:55¿vos tenés idea,
00:42:56el quilombo que estás armando?
00:42:58Y dice,
00:42:59los voy a matar a todos.
00:43:03¿Hace cuánto que estaban aquí en la puerta?
00:43:04Yo hace aproximadamente media hora.
00:43:05¿Los disparos no cesan?
00:43:06No, no, no.
00:43:07Desde que llegué,
00:43:08que empezaron a disparar,
00:43:09me pegaron,
00:43:10como podrás ver a mí,
00:43:11compañero de...
00:43:12¿Tiene que grita, eh?
00:43:13¿Por qué están agrediendo a la prensa?
00:43:14Venimos solamente a dialogar,
00:43:15a buscar alguna explicación.
00:43:16Ya le dije,
00:43:17ya le dije que acá no quiero a nadie.
00:43:18Bueno,
00:43:19y lo voy a seguir lastimando,
00:43:20porque acá no quiero que rompan los huevos a mi hija,
00:43:21nada más.
00:43:22Diego, Diego,
00:43:23hay cuatro personas lastimadas.
00:43:25A ver si el que grita tiene huevos de bancársela, eh.
00:43:26A ver.
00:43:27Diego.
00:43:28¿Pero por qué la necesidad de tirar contra el periodismo?
00:43:30¿De atrás del coche?
00:43:31Cuando llegaron las 19 horas,
00:43:33que era el horario del noticiero de Telefe,
00:43:35mandaron un móvil en vivo para salir desde ahí.
00:43:37Me subí al techo de la combi con mi cabez.
00:43:39Mi cabezo,
00:43:40mi cabezo,
00:43:42mi cabezo.
00:43:44Y me quedé.
00:43:45Lo voy a seguir lastimando.
00:43:47Porque acá no quiero que rompan los huevos a mi hija,
00:43:49nada más.
00:43:50Diego, Diego.
00:43:51Hay cuatro personas lastimadas.
00:43:52A ver si el que grita tiene huevos de bancársela, eh.
00:43:54A ver.
00:43:55Pero ¿por qué la necesidad de tirar contra el periodismo?
00:43:56¿De atrás del coche?
00:43:57Cuando llegaron las 19 horas,
00:43:59to go to the bar with my camarógrafo to get out alive.
00:44:04And when I start talking, from the interior of the 5th,
00:44:08they throw me a bottle of water with a pressure tube.
00:44:12This is really unfortunate.
00:44:14What we want is to be here.
00:44:20It's a lie, because the water is coming.
00:44:24I had that relationship with love and hatred.
00:44:27On the other hand, he would complain about it,
00:44:29but he couldn't live without it.
00:44:41He told me that he wanted to help him prepare
00:44:44that he was going to be his last World Cup.
00:44:46And I told him,
00:44:48Listen, Diego, you left the football.
00:44:51You have more than 12 kilos.
00:44:53You are with your addiction problem.
00:44:57But he told me that no.
00:44:59I'm sure I want to arrive in the best way
00:45:03and I'm going to leave absolutely everything
00:45:05because I want to coronate that dream.
00:45:07We wanted to find a place where Diego could be in good state
00:45:13to enter the selection.
00:45:16Why did you want to find a place where you were?
00:45:20Because we didn't want any place where there was a lot of people,
00:45:25where there were neighbors,
00:45:29and even now they live in
00:45:32and we enjoyed it.
00:45:38I was younger than my father.
00:45:40And he told me,
00:45:42he told me,
00:45:44Where did you drive to your boy?
00:45:46And he told me,
00:45:47Where did you drive to your boy,
00:45:48where did you drive to your boy?
00:45:50Where did you drive too?
00:45:52And he loved it, he was rock, because he had that music.
00:46:05And that he had to dedicate something to something.
00:46:21No podía estar saliendo de diversión y de todo lo que más o menos se conoce.
00:46:33Hay una tranquilidad increíble porque acá no se escucha nada, no pasa nadie,
00:46:38no hay colectivos, no hay aviones, no hay nada.
00:46:42Y entonces eso te da para descansar.
00:46:48En la que yo sabía que en cualquier momento podía sobrevenir el problema de la abstinencia,
00:46:53del síndrome.
00:47:00Pero recuerdo que en una de las noches, y escuché un ruido en la puerta y me giro,
00:47:05y era Diego que estaba en el marco de la puerta y me miraba con los ojos muy fijos.
00:47:11Y me hizo con la cabeza, vamos.
00:47:18Yo presenté a que eso iba a pasar, porque en algún momento es como el que fuma y no tiene cigarrillos,
00:47:25y a medianoche es capaz de salir y hacer diez kilómetros para ir a encontrar.
00:47:31Y la cocaína tiene un poder de enganche mucho mayor.
00:47:37O sea, vamos corriendo.
00:47:39Entonces arrancaba y frenaba, arrancaba y frenaba.
00:47:41Otra manera de soportar el dolor y de recuperarse fue capaz de dejar la cocaína en Buenos Aires.
00:47:48No llevó ni un miligramo porque él quería hacer frente a todo,
00:47:52porque quería llegar de la mejor manera a ese mundial.
00:47:56Empujame, te empujo, salto, caída, dale, va, y en un momento él...
00:48:07Ya está, ya pasó.
00:48:26...
00:48:28First of Oscar, Romeo, Echo, November Tango Hotel, Alfa Lima.
00:48:35Plus of Simpson, male black, 6'2", 210 pounds, 46 years old.
00:48:43Subject made several calls in the last hour.
00:48:46The opening of the World Cup happened to coincide with one of the oddly high-visibility events
00:48:57that had happened in the United States in decades,
00:48:59and that was the escape of O.J. Simpson from the scene of the alleged murder of his wife
00:49:05and the great chase of the white bronco down the freeways of L.A.
00:49:11A manhunt is underway in Los Angeles at this hour for O.J. Simpson.
00:49:17The former football star is now officially a fugitive from justice in a double murder case.
00:49:24O.J. Simpson was a hard hit for us,
00:49:27because when we saw this on TV and on the radio and everybody,
00:49:31the Americans were all of a sudden totally excited only about this.
00:49:37Everybody was speaking about that, not about football.
00:49:39We could have stopped football and nobody would have noticed.
00:49:42And we saw on TV a reality show, like a movie, you know,
00:49:47the people in helicopters and police cars hunting an American icon.
00:49:52Over the top, onside, Hesler touched it inside.
00:49:56The Libyan protests, but only momentary, and Jürgen Klinsmann scores.
00:50:02One thing we knew, but I don't think FIFA understood at all,
00:50:06was that the United States can deal with two huge stories in one day.
00:50:11We knew that every nation in the world that qualified for the World Cup would,
00:50:27every one of those teams, in a sense, would be a home team on the day of their game.
00:50:32America! America! America! America!
00:50:36The whole World Cup was a festival.
00:50:38Don't forget, this was, you know, a toxic time in football.
00:50:41But USA 94 kind of purged all that.
00:50:44It brought on a new, joyful, you know,
00:50:48let's just have the crack, let's enjoy the game, let's enjoy the football.
00:50:53The Ireland-Italy game was one of the highlights of the tournament.
00:51:03Italy v Ireland in East New Jersey, next door to Manhattan and Brooklyn.
00:51:09That is the New York derby. That is the battle for New York's soul.
00:51:13And in the 11th minute, to everybody's amazement,
00:51:16Ireland went ahead 1-0 and held on.
00:51:24I don't even have to tell you what it was like to be at the Abbey Tavern on Third Avenue.
00:51:29I mean, I leave it to your imagination.
00:51:33When we arrived to the U.S. at Babson College,
00:51:39it was a kind of hotel that was where the selection was.
00:51:42It was a spectacular place, big, with huge parks,
00:51:46where the players were with their family.
00:51:48When we arrived to the U.S. at Babson College,
00:51:51it was a kind of hotel where the selection was.
00:51:54It was a spectacular place, big, with huge parks,
00:51:58where the players were with their family.
00:52:01Adrian Paenza, good evening, if you are listening in Boston.
00:52:05Now you hear me?
00:52:06Yes, now I hear you very well, Adrian, very well.
00:52:10Well, I'm going to tell you what the following.
00:52:11We spoke with Grondono and he told me, you know,
00:52:25that it's a difficult situation.
00:52:28Moradono has an entourage, a medical entourage,
00:52:31and if you permit us that we can have his medical team with,
00:52:36then we are happy, and we will bear the costs also of this team.
00:52:59The people who followed him to the world tour,
00:53:03in the first term were Fernando Siggiorini, Marco Franchi, Daniel Serrini,
00:53:09and then I was I.
00:53:14Daniel Serrini, I met him when Diego called me to start training.
00:53:24He told me that he had a boy who was a physical-culturist.
00:53:33He had an exceptional result.
00:53:35Diego never worked well.
00:53:37And, well, from this new era that we are carrying together,
00:53:41he found a way to improve day-to-day his physical.
00:53:44I realized quickly that Serrini,
00:53:48maybe he knew what apparently he had to do,
00:53:51but in football and in football,
00:53:54he had no idea.
00:53:56Serrini to Diego, I think,
00:53:58what he always wanted to do was the magic thing.
00:54:08He had told me that he would carry out magic to the world
00:54:14as he never had.
00:54:16So, that was the magic thing.
00:54:20What happened to you when the team arrived?
00:54:24The day when the team arrived,
00:54:26we went to the first training
00:54:28and we saw a Maradona training.
00:54:32I couldn't believe it.
00:54:33I saw a Diego.
00:54:34I saw a Diego.
00:54:35In the game with Australia,
00:54:37eight months ago,
00:54:39nine months ago,
00:54:40the legs were flat,
00:54:43the body was kind of encoded.
00:54:45When I saw him enter into the concentration
00:54:48in the Babson College,
00:54:50I said,
00:54:51who is this guy?
00:54:52He was a statue.
00:54:53You don't know what he was.
00:54:54I feel like you're going to ask
00:54:56how much weight you are now.
00:54:58How much weight you are now?
00:54:59How much weight you are now?
00:55:00No, I want to divide it in two parts.
00:55:01First, you're happy, right?
00:55:02Of course.
00:55:03I'm going to start my World Cup.
00:55:05I want to tell the Argentineers
00:55:07that I'm fine.
00:55:08I'm going to give them joy
00:55:10to this team.
00:55:12If we don't share it,
00:55:14we won't win.
00:55:21There was a group of players
00:55:22that was spectacular.
00:55:24And everything
00:55:27flowed so easily
00:55:30in the training.
00:55:31And Diego was omnipresent.
00:55:33The type,
00:55:34the emblema
00:55:35of the Argentine selección
00:55:37of the last 15 years.
00:55:39the most respected and admired
00:55:43of the world.
00:55:44But above all,
00:55:45a friend.
00:55:46A guy who knew well
00:55:47wanted to come back
00:55:48because it was his last World Cup.
00:55:50He was among the most respected
00:55:52and experienced
00:55:54in the world.
00:55:55He was there
00:55:56and he was there
00:55:57and he was there
00:55:58and he was there
00:55:59and he was there
00:56:00and he was there
00:56:01and he was there
00:56:02and he was there
00:56:03and he was there.
00:56:04If you were wondering
00:56:05what you remember
00:56:06of your career,
00:56:07I remember
00:56:08of the fight against Grecia.
00:56:09He there,
00:56:10and I behind...
00:56:12...the point of starting a World Cup.
00:56:13I couldn't believe it.
00:56:15I couldn't believe it.
00:56:16You couldn't believe it.
00:56:17I had Maradona on my side.
00:56:18And the early break now for Argentina and they got three up and a spearman to the left.
00:56:27And of repente empieza the game and at two minutes, a goal.
00:56:35It was weird, weird, because it was a weird, but it was the goal.
00:56:38I had my first goal in the world.
00:56:40We have been playing just one minute and twenty seconds
00:56:45and Argentina score the softest of goals.
00:56:49And everyone loved me.
00:56:51I was in Trissons Marador, I loved Canigia, I loved people I had already seen on television.
00:57:01Everything was great.
00:57:03The associations between the players were perfect.
00:57:09That's a good run.
00:57:11Beautiful goal.
00:57:13Batiste Dutek gets his second.
00:57:16It was a offensive team, an incredible goal.
00:57:23It was a team that had absolutely everything.
00:57:26It was very compensated.
00:57:31What I remember, fundamentally, was the goal of Diego.
00:57:34One of the most beautiful goals in the world.
00:57:49The goal!
00:57:50Goool!
00:57:51Argentino Maradona Diego Armando Maradona!
00:58:04It's like he broke the fourth wall, the guy who went to the camera.
00:58:09I said, we can be the champion.
00:58:12No, I don't remember any football player.
00:58:15I've never heard of Maradona.
00:58:17That guy looking at the camera saying, I'm alive.
00:58:21I'm alive. I'm not killed.
00:58:27When he was in the camera, that was not the right Maradona.
00:58:33He thought he's the best.
00:58:36And if you are the best, you don't tell it, you show it.
00:58:44Well, that was taken, I don't know,
00:58:47the eyes of Diego, of course, were disorbitated.
00:58:51It was a moment of rupture,
00:58:53to remove everything from an explosion,
00:58:56and it made it clear to everyone.
00:58:59I'm here.
00:59:03And Argentina, there was a way to be champion.
00:59:06With Maradona pleno and the team pleno,
00:59:08a lot of people had Argentina.
00:59:10And it became a threat.
00:59:13Diego became a threat.
00:59:18Maradona didn't call it.
00:59:20Maradona had already expressed his weakness
00:59:22by Fidel Castro's government.
00:59:24Well, I'm very grateful.
00:59:26I remember my meeting with Maradona.
00:59:29I've always been very friendly.
00:59:31I've always been very friendly.
00:59:33I've always been very loyal.
00:59:34I wish to the Argentina all the success possible.
00:59:38And I wish a special success to Maradona.
00:59:42Maradona...
00:59:44This produced in the U.S.
00:59:46a certain sketch.
00:59:47A Maradona levanting the World Cup,
00:59:49claring it,
00:59:50and dedicating it to Fidel Castro
00:59:52in the U.S.
00:59:55It was a delicate situation.
00:59:57And then what happened happened.
01:00:00What happened?
01:00:01What happened?
01:00:02What happened?
01:00:03What happened?
01:00:04What happened?
01:00:05What happened?
01:00:06What happened?
01:00:07What happened?
01:00:08What happened?
01:00:09What happened?
01:00:10What happened?
01:00:12What happened?
01:00:13What happened?
01:00:15What happened?
01:00:16What happened?
01:00:17The second part with Nigeria,
01:00:19which had won the first team
01:00:21against Bulgaria
01:00:23in a contestant way.
01:00:25We have a clear state
01:00:26that it was a very difficult game.
01:00:28We knew well the power
01:00:30that Nigeria had to hurt you,
01:00:32and you hurt yourself.
01:00:33And it hurt us
01:00:35in the first minutes.
01:00:37Here's Yakhini for Nigeria. Oh, he's got the number 12 in here.
01:00:43It's there!
01:00:47And Nigeria takes the lead against Argentina.
01:00:59And a Diego le pegaban, y Diego la pedía.
01:01:02Ahí yo terminé de entender todo lo que era Diego y todo lo que influía.
01:01:07Le pegaban y no se quedaba tirado en el piso.
01:01:09Se levantaba y decía, dale, vamos.
01:01:14Peleaba con el árbitro, peleaba con los defensores.
01:01:17Nos retaba, nos alentaba, y aparte jugaba.
01:01:24Y estaba, sí, creo que fue el mejor partido.
01:01:26Pudimos dar vuelta el partido, bueno, convierto primero un gol de un tiro libre de Batistuta.
01:01:36Y luego el segundo gol que fue espectacular.
01:01:51Diego que me tiró una pelota, pero habían cobrado un full anteriormente.
01:01:55Yo le devuelvo la pelota.
01:01:58Yo le digo, dámela, dámela porque si no basta que uno se dé cuenta.
01:02:03Yo le decía, no me estabas viendo, sino te tuve que gritar dos o tres veces y no me la dabas.
01:02:09Pero me dice, claro que te había visto.
01:02:14Obviamente, pero yo estaba esperando que subieran todos, porque es verdad.
01:02:15Que subieran todos y para distraernos.
01:02:16Que subieran todos y para distraernos.
01:02:17¡Ganó, ganó, ganó, ganó la Argentina!
01:02:21Cuando termina el partido y ganamos, me acuerdo que entran dos mujeres,
01:02:24dos enfermeras, dos enfermeras y dos rubias.
01:02:38¡Ganó! ¡Ganó! ¡Ganó la Argentina!
01:02:46When we end the game and we win,
01:02:49I remember that two women, two nurses, two rubies,
01:02:53one takes a Diego and the other takes me.
01:02:57I've never seen that two nurses
01:03:01enter the game and grab their arms.
01:03:04It seemed like we were in a infant garden.
01:03:08Diego, espectacular.
01:03:14Gracias a Dios.
01:03:16El de arriba me ayudó mucho.
01:03:18He corrido muchísimo, he jugado.
01:03:22Gracias a Dios me dieron las piernas.
01:03:24Esto se lo debo otra vez a todo el trabajo de Fernando,
01:03:27a todo el trabajo.
01:03:29Me sentí muy bien dentro de la cancha porque me sentí importante,
01:03:31me sentí como que el equipo necesitaba que yo tenga la pelota y así lo hice.
01:03:35Es para todos ustedes, argentinos.
01:03:37Los quiero mucho. Tota, vos también.
01:03:39Ellos lleviste por
01:03:49Iban caminando como dos novios, abrazados, viste.
01:03:51Que iban como, así paseando.
01:03:54Era toda una situación de amor, te diría.
01:03:57It was like a romance that you were living below.
01:04:00And we, at the top of the table, were overwhelmed.
01:04:04And there was no doubt, no fear, no fear.
01:04:09For us it was a completely regular process,
01:04:12completely ordinary process.
01:04:27Especially not in the United States.
01:04:33And then Grondona, he changed color.
01:04:40He made the sin, the sign, the cross, and said,
01:04:48Que Dios nos protege.
01:04:52God protect us.
01:04:57What happened to you?
01:05:00Fue azaroso totalmente.
01:05:02Salió el 10 como podía haber salido el 1, el 20 o el 15.
01:05:06Salió el 10.
01:05:08Orinó, primero una parte, después la segunda parte.
01:05:11Ahí adelante, con testigo, se cerró el frasco.
01:05:15Le pusieron un número y mi firma.
01:05:18Fue algo tan natural y tan rápido
01:05:20que lo único que queríamos era ir a divertirnos
01:05:23al vestuario con todos los compañeros.
01:05:25Habíamos ganado otro partido más y entonces estábamos muy contentos.
01:05:28Diego, Diego, Diego, Diego.
01:05:30Vení un segundo.
01:05:31Ahí está, ahí está.
01:05:32A ver, vení acá, vení acá.
01:05:33Vení con canija acá.
01:05:34Vení un segundo con canija acá.
01:05:35Acá están los dos, acá están los dos.
01:05:37Un beso, perfecto.
01:05:38Magnífico.
01:05:40¿Puedo decirte algo?
01:05:41Yo me siento, vos sabés que yo me siento muy feliz
01:05:43por lo que te pasó hoy.
01:05:45Muy feliz.
01:05:48Yo te agradezco mucho.
01:05:49Yo me siento diez veces más feliz de lo que te sentís vos por mí
01:05:54que este señor que yo tengo al lado
01:05:57haya hecho dos goles y haya jugado de la manera que lo hizo.
01:06:00Sí, muy generoso, muy solidario.
01:06:05Obviamente, yo tenía un vínculo especial con él de amistad
01:06:09esto y lo otro, pero yo nunca vi un tipo igual amado por sus compañeros
01:06:14y respetado, pero muy respetado y admirado por los contrarios.
01:06:30En el martes de San José Gussaudíz
01:06:34en el martes de la semana.
01:06:35En el martes de la semana se convirtió al presidente
01:06:40por el martes de la semana.
01:06:41Y en el martes de la semana.
01:06:44Cuando lo hicimos a상을 Tribucen de la semana
01:06:48vamos a tener un intercreenciente positivo.
01:06:55Y ahora con el minuto de la mañana.
01:06:57The world was falling down.
01:07:27No, no, no, no, no cabe en mi cabeza, no, no, cualquiera puede ser, menos él.
01:07:39Entonces le dijimos, ¿cómo puede ser?
01:07:43Estamos todos abocados a que salga todo bien
01:07:48y nos enteramos de esta sorpresa que no sabemos de dónde viene.
01:07:53Y Diego no hablaba.
01:07:58El único elemento que teníamos era Serrini.
01:08:04Y estaba Serrini, me acuerdo, sentado en la cama con un prospecto así, mirándolo.
01:08:10Y yo le pregunté, ¿qué le diste? Y me dijo, no sé.
01:08:14Vamos a la habitación y veo que hay un montón de frascos de medicamentos.
01:08:26La mayor parte eran de Argentina. Uno de ellos era allá norteamericano.
01:08:31Serrini le daba una sustancia, un suplemento llamado Ripper Fast, que se vendía en la Argentina.
01:08:39Pero en Estados Unidos se terminó. Y fueron en venta libre.
01:08:44A comprar a las tiendas, GNC creo que se llama, y había una similar que se llamaba Ripper Fuel.
01:08:56Y empiezo a mirar el contenido, yo fui mirando el contenido de cada uno, y decía Efedrina el 6%.
01:09:01Digo, acá está, es Efedrina. Estamos en Efedrina.
01:09:12Bueno, yo creo que ahí hay un elemento, ¿no?
01:09:17Que Diego ya había tenido un problema grande con un Doppi.
01:09:20Y se había sobrepuesto un poco, ¿no?
01:09:27O sea que para él no fue una cosa que fue la primera vez y que se asombró.
01:09:35Está bien que, en los otros casos, fue por esta droga maldita de la cocaína, ¿no?
01:09:50Viene Julio Grondona y me dice, bueno, vas a ir vos a Los Ángeles.
01:10:03No, hay que abrir el frasco B.
01:10:06Dijo, andá y hacé lo que puedas para salvarlo.
01:10:11El avión aterriza, nos encerraron en una camioneta y nos llevaron al laboratorio.
01:10:20Sabía por dónde venía la cosa. Digo, la FIFA no está para ayudarnos, me parece.
01:10:29Nos sentamos, estaban dos médicos, los dos médicos que hicieron la prueba.
01:10:38Cuando llego yo, me dan el frasco a mí, miro y el frasco decía Efedrina alrededor.
01:10:44Entonces, digo, bueno, acá hay un error muy grosero.
01:10:49Digo, este frasco no puede decir Efedrina.
01:10:52Hay una cosa que es el ciego.
01:10:54Nadie tiene que saber qué es lo que tiene para hacer un análisis.
01:10:58Entonces, si esto van a... ya lo saben, este frasco es nulo.
01:11:03Bueno, por supuesto, ahí empezó a armarse un desastre de gritos, de cosas que yo no entendía nada.
01:11:09Terminó con un pedido que yo hice de cuarto intermedio para resolver la situación.
01:11:17Volonikov, que estaba al lado mío, me agarra la pierna así y me dice, los cagamos.
01:11:25Los cagamos, me dijo.
01:11:27Tenemos que ver que seguimos las reglas.
01:11:37Y esto fue, para FIFA, muy importante, para la credibilidad de FIFA.
01:11:41Porque si FIFA hubiera perdido la credibilidad en los Estados Unidos,
01:11:45esto hubiera sido un desastre.
01:11:49Avalanche, the president of the FIFA, wanted Argentina to be descalified,
01:11:56to give for lost the partido against Nigeria and to be out of the World Championship.
01:12:00That was the statement of Avalanche.
01:12:04And Grondona said, if my team is back, I start a penal cause in the Suiza's tribunals.
01:12:14So Avalanche asked, calm down, we don't resolve it neither of you nor of me.
01:12:21Let's let this resolve the secretary-general Joseph Blatter.
01:12:29We made a meeting with Julio Grondona, Joao Avalanche and myself.
01:12:36And Grondona was the man who said, we will deal with this case after the World Cup.
01:12:42Then I have said to Avalanche en français, on ne peut pas faire ça.
01:12:51We cannot do that. We cannot do that. That's not possible.
01:12:58If Maradona's positive again, it's a doping case and he will be eliminated.
01:13:12Avalanche was the one who said, when we were in Dallas and the Argentinian team was traininged for the afternoon.
01:13:19And we went to training, already with a very strong rumor.
01:13:23And in the field we saw a Diego mal, on the side.
01:13:29The teammates saw and talked to him, but he didn't participate in the game.
01:13:33And there was, as the rumor grew, grew, grew, grew, there were 1.000 journalists.
01:13:39Can you know who is the player?
01:13:41The player is Diego Menodón.
01:13:43What is the substance of the Larrons?
01:13:44The Larrons, please.
01:13:45What is that substance?
01:13:47The Larrons, the Nati Sol.
01:13:49Is Maradona the player?
01:13:50Is Maradona the player.
01:13:51What can we confirm this?
01:13:54We'll wait.
01:13:55We'll wait.
01:13:56We haven't done the best.
01:13:57We'll wait.
01:13:58Can you hear from the player or the player or the player?
01:14:00The player not.
01:14:00No.
01:14:01The player no can.
01:14:02The player never hears the Larrons.
01:14:03You're not gonna lose.
01:14:03In one cup of lures.
01:14:04The player never loses the Argentina chances?
01:14:06No.
01:14:07No.
01:14:07In absolute.
01:14:08Grondona had arguments to defend Maradona by other way.
01:14:13There was an irregularity in the trial.
01:14:16When the advocates of Argentina came to see the trial, the trial had been violated.
01:14:24Grondona knew when Maradona gave him a positive doping
01:14:29that he had to choose between two things.
01:14:32He had to choose Maradona and the vice president of FIFA.
01:14:36And he chose the vice president of FIFA.
01:14:39And he gave Maradona.
01:14:41The president of FIFA
01:14:49We're in the room and I sit in the room.
01:14:54I don't know if he was asleep or seemed to be asleep.
01:14:57And then...
01:15:00I grab him like many times.
01:15:02Like the kids.
01:15:04That kind of protection.
01:15:07And I say,
01:15:09Come, Maragucho, levantate, dale.
01:15:11Dale, que...
01:15:12Nos mataron.
01:15:13Nos mataron.
01:15:14Y dije, nos,
01:15:16para no decirle te y dejarlo solo.
01:15:18Nos mataron.
01:15:19Nos mataron a todos.
01:15:21Para que se sintiera acompañado, no?
01:15:24Y...
01:15:25¿Qué pasó?
01:15:26No, no.
01:15:27Listo.
01:15:28Estás afuera.
01:15:29Estás afuera y estamos afuera.
01:15:33Y salimos.
01:15:35Y al minuto se escuchó como un alarido.
01:15:38It's a disaster and a hit, surely.
01:16:08Blatter was not in a position to defend Maradona.
01:16:11He was not in a position to defend Maradona.
01:16:13He defended Maradona during weeks and weeks.
01:16:15He always said our job is not to punish Maradona.
01:16:18Our job is to enable him to play football.
01:16:21But once that he was tested positive, you know, it was a hopeless case.
01:16:26And I think in this moment Blatter was standing firm.
01:16:30Both analyses of the urine sample have proved to be positive.
01:16:39The player Diego Maradona of the Argentina national team
01:16:43has therefore violated the provisions of the doping control regulations
01:16:49in the match Argentina-Migeria.
01:16:52I was not only sad, I was absolutely upset.
01:16:57But it was my job.
01:16:59It's also a lesson for my life.
01:17:07The Argentina Football Association has informed this morning
01:17:11the FIFA organizing committee
01:17:13that Diego Armando Maradona has been withdrawn from the World Cup.
01:17:18And until the case is finally settled,
01:17:21Diego Maradona remains suspended from all footballing activity.
01:17:26It's very difficult to approach to a speaker, to a speaker, to be able to capture the sound.
01:17:31I think we're going to have to do the translation.
01:17:34It's very, very difficult. We're in a very uncomfortable position.
01:17:37The audience is very popular.
01:17:38I'm a journalist.
01:17:39I'm a journalist.
01:17:40I'm a journalist.
01:17:42There was a bar, there were about 30 people, we stayed watching the television because the positive was from Diego Maradona
01:17:50and nobody said one word.
01:17:53I always have that terrible image of 30 people without being able to say one word,
01:18:01seeing what we never wanted to see, because aparte it was the hell.
01:18:06When Diego says I want to be champion and dedicate the title to Fidel Castro,
01:18:13I think that there was...
01:18:15There were many definitions, many definitions, many, many, many.
01:18:21Maradona was strong, and they responded to him.
01:18:24Symbolically, it was that a guy who came out of drugs,
01:18:29with everything that means in the United States,
01:18:31that he won, that he won, that he won champion, that he won,
01:18:35and also that he gave it to Fidel Castro, the Office of Popular,
01:18:39and the police...
01:18:41¡Brodona, hijo de puta!
01:18:43La puta que te parió
01:18:45¡Brodona, hijo de puta!
01:18:49La puta que te parió
01:18:51¡Brodona, hijo de puta!
01:18:55La puta que te parió
01:18:57The people with a closer connection to Diego, we went to the room.
01:19:04There was the crying, we stayed with Diego,
01:19:08who was obviously unconscious, frustrated, impotent.
01:19:13They even asked him
01:19:16that a player who was suspended
01:19:19could not be in the concentration where his team was.
01:19:27What was the first time in Bulgaria?
01:19:36The first time in Bulgaria I remember
01:19:41that it was a hot heat that you threw out.
01:19:45What was the first time in Bulgaria?
01:19:49I remember that the players were running through the field.
01:19:52I remember that there was no reaction from anything.
01:19:55The players did what they could.
01:19:57One could infer, maybe it was because of the heat.
01:20:00No, not the heat, they were destroyed.
01:20:04It was like if each one had hit a hammer in the head
01:20:08and they came out to play completely.
01:20:13What a danger, what a danger!
01:20:16The goal of the Bvlgaron!
01:20:18The goal!
01:20:20The goal of the Bvlgaron!
01:20:21Even without knowing how we were nearing,
01:20:23we were not ready for everything that had been done.
01:20:26You guys play the same play
01:20:28and you always think,
01:20:29as always, you're going to win.
01:20:30But you're not ready.
01:20:31You're not prepared to be prepared.
01:20:33Something needs you.
01:20:34Something's missing.
01:20:35The goal of the Bvlgaron!
01:20:37Fulgarón, gol de Giracogos.
01:20:44We win a result that obviously would have never happened.
01:20:48If it would have never happened to Diego,
01:20:51that's what I'm sure.
01:20:54What happened to Diego?
01:21:03What happened to Diego?
01:21:06No.
01:21:07I swear to my wife that I didn't give up.
01:21:11But I promised to my wife that I would not cry.
01:21:16And I promised to my daughter that I couldn't talk.
01:21:19But...
01:21:22The only thing I want to make sure to the Argentines is that I didn't get drunk.
01:21:30I didn't go for drugs.
01:21:33I went for my heart and my shirt.
01:21:36It's nothing more.
01:21:38This belief that he was positive for cocaine is wrong.
01:21:44And he decided to get to the world and win.
01:21:49And when he did something, he did something.
01:21:54He left it.
01:21:55He left it.
01:21:56He left it.
01:21:57He left it.
01:21:58How did he do it?
01:21:59I don't know.
01:22:00How did he do it?
01:22:01I don't know.
01:22:02But he did it.
01:22:03He left it.
01:22:04He Kopfmann.
01:22:05J�ICI 낶atiff's.
01:22:06He left it.
01:22:07I was very happy.
01:22:08He left it.
01:22:09He left it.
01:22:10He left it to me?
01:22:12Yes.
01:22:13All the time.
01:22:14Did...
01:22:15What?
01:22:16He left it?
01:22:18My medicine was very sweet.
01:22:19Maybe it was such a thing.
01:22:20How did he fall to me?
01:22:21Maybe I did not believe his dad.
01:22:22Because he left it a little abuse cabeza.
01:22:23But maybe people...
01:22:25After this, I think they leave me without being able to talk about it.
01:22:32Neither good nor bad.
01:22:35He attacked FIFA because he was finally disappointed by himself
01:22:40and he looked at who was responsible.
01:22:43And he said FIFA. It's easy.
01:22:46If I get to this situation, I don't need to drug me to play.
01:22:52And I train like I train. What need do I have to find drugs? Tell me.
01:22:57What need do I have if I have Fernando, if I have everything?
01:23:00And I don't want to dramatize, but believe me that my legs were cut.
01:23:07As the story unfolded, one thought, this is so unfair because he had kicked cocaine.
01:23:27He was back in the game and yet got done for a weight loss drug
01:23:32which contained a prohibited substance.
01:23:36So there was a kind of bitterness.
01:23:38There was a bitter tragedy within the tragedy.
01:23:41Diego had kind of inspired and charmed and bedazzled
01:23:46hundreds of millions of people over so many years
01:23:49and yet kind of like he tripped up on a pebble in the road.
01:23:57It was brutal for him.
01:23:59I came back with Claudio.
01:24:00I came back with Claudio.
01:24:01Y pasada pro пу…
01:24:04Gol!
01:24:05Gol!
01:24:06Gol!
01:24:07Gol!
01:24:08Gol!
01:24:09Yica!
01:24:10ORACCI!
01:24:11I think that he's gone!
01:24:12Gol!
01:24:13Gol!
01:24:14Gol!
01:24:15Gol!
01:24:16Gol!
01:24:18Gol!
01:24:19Gol!
01:24:20Gol!
01:24:21Gol!
01:24:22Gol!
01:24:23Gol!
01:24:24Gol!
01:24:25Gol!
01:24:26Gol!
01:24:27Gol!
01:24:28Gol!
01:24:29Y pasada pro.
01:24:30with a lot of sadness, a lot of anguish.
01:24:33They both were.
01:24:35He's in here.
01:24:37Goal.
01:24:38Goal.
01:24:41From the Roman team.
01:24:44Romania 3.
01:24:46Argentina 1.
01:24:49So I said,
01:24:52I said,
01:24:54just to lament that you have left for the World of 1998.
01:25:00So...
01:25:02But after that,
01:25:04the addiction had done a lot of damage.
01:25:06The instrumentalization,
01:25:08the brutal way they were treated,
01:25:10did the rest.
01:25:12And there was no way to the A.V. Fennig
01:25:14to come back to the ship.
01:25:16They had cut off the legs.
01:25:18Well, in the case of him, the legs.
01:25:24Maradona is a bit of a metaphor for Argentina.
01:25:39It's a person with a capacity
01:25:42of self-destruction and self-destruction
01:25:45and the Argentina is a bit of that.
01:25:47It's a country with a capacity
01:25:50of self-destruction and self-destruction
01:25:53to be the same.
01:25:55So,
01:25:56that's where you can understand
01:25:58the phenomenon of Maradona.
01:25:59The phenomenon of Maradona
01:26:00is a bit of the Argentina.
01:26:02You can't just move away.
01:26:04You can't just move away.
01:26:05You can't judge.
01:26:06You have to have to go on,
01:26:07but you can't move away.
01:26:08You can't even do it.
01:26:09You can't evenливо.
01:26:10You can't do it.
01:26:11You can say...
01:26:12you can't even do it.
01:26:13You can't do it.
01:26:14You can't do it.
01:26:15You can't do it.
01:26:16You can't do it.
01:26:17I looked at every single one of my friends,
01:26:18in which I was married.
01:26:19It appeared to be able to be a match.
01:26:20to all of you. I think I achieved it and the truth is that today I didn't expect it.
01:26:30Because this is too much, too much for a person, too much for a football player.
01:26:36I thank you with my heart.
01:26:38The football is the most beautiful and healthy sport of the world.
01:26:50I don't doubt anyone, because if you're wrong, you don't have to pay for it.
01:26:57I really didn't pay for it, but...
01:27:03The pelotaro... The pelotaro is a match.
01:27:33I appreciate it.
01:27:39.
01:27:40.
