The world of football on its feet: Best wishes to the greatest, other than Cr7

Gianni Mura wrote years ago that on October 30, 1960, the brujas, the witches of Lanus, who for little money read the future, when Diego came into the world, saw stars in the puddles in front of the hospital, and they spoke of them. A bright path for the carpenter's son. The sorcerers had immediately discarded the dirty water, but the puddles would have returned on its way, to besiege his heart, to shorten his life, to snatch the train of stars from him. Today Maradona performs 59 years and this morning the world of football is honoring him on social media.

THE CHARACTER – Diego Maradona was not only probably the strongest player of all time but also the most controversial. A roller coaster life where personal successes (2 badges with the Naples, the World Cup won almost alone in Mexico '86, the UEFA Cup) as a counterpart there were falls in his private life.

UPS AND DOWNS – Goals and coca, intoxicating nightlife and dribbling, has been given up many times for gutted and punctually "risen", once, twice, ten times. Today he is the coach of Gimnasia in Argentina and to pay homage to him the club made him find a real throne on the bench. His team beat Newell's for 5-1, celebrating as best as it could be.

THE TWEET – Riccardo is among the first to wish Maradona good wishes Cucchi. The former voice of All the football on twitter wrote: “He was the strongest player I have ever seen playing live. A gift from the god of football to all lovers of football. Lucky the Napoli fans to have had it with their colors. Best wishes Diego ”.

THE HASHTAG – On social media the hashtag Maradona immediately went into top-trend: "" Oh mama mama mama, do you know why the corazon beats me? I saw Maradona, I saw Maradona … "Happy birthday to Maradona"Or even:" 59 years ago he was born … and the world of football bowed: best wishes Diego Armando Maradona. You made us have fun like no one else … even your opponents applauded you!

GREETINGS – Messages arrive from everywhere: "Today is the birthday of the god of football, it is the birthday of the strongest player of all time, the most criticized and loved character in history. The most loved and discussed character in the world of football "or even:" Today is a special day for sport because a Lanus in Argentina football was born. You wrote poems with your feet on a green carpet, the rhymes were the caresses to the ball, you and the ball a perfect harmony ”.

MEMORIES – In many, nostalgia prevails: "1985. He was training with Napoli in the field of my country, waiting for the match with the Milan. I went alone to admire it (I was 10): behind the wire fence I held out my hand, he came to hug me. I do not forget it ".

THE PARAGONS – Nobody wants to hear about comparisons, neither with Messi nor with Ronaldo: "I repeat once again! Don't make comparisons with the Portuguese, which you are ridiculous! "Or:" Unfortunately for others, he was. Manco you could inc. When he scored against your team … Because, sooner or later, he would have done it. The strongest I've ever seen. And I had the immense fortune to see it live ". The gloss is a bit blasphemous but fun: "Merry Christmas".
