Maradona, during an Instagram “live”, has remembered the 35th anniversary of the match against Venezuela, and vlefSIt's about qualifying for the NC86 World Cup.

It was my first official match, after the World 82. In those nearly three years of absence, I went through hepatitis, a leg fracture, and several other problems. Before FIFA matches started, there were clubs, those that had players' passports. Federations were not obliged to attract them. It was another blow. Another world.

 

When I arrived in Venezuela, a person struck me in my knee, as soon as I entered the hotel. No such thing can happen today. That's why I tell reporters, who today make a thousand comparisons, a thousand statistics with those who think they've discovered football. There are no such comparisons in football. Then it wasn't like now. It was all different. Fields, ball, money, judges, training, training, medicine, journalism, media, transportation, hotels, rest...

 

There was no such thing as an ass at the time. If it wasn't for the World Cup, it couldn't be talked about paradise. That's why Billardo, in the first few years, joined a national team with players playing in Argentina. There was no “europaine”. Passarella, Burruchaga and Valdano were also expelled. They were not allowed to come to the nationals. Despite all this, I want to tell you that I never left the nationals. I never took my fan off the team. Don't lie to people. Don't let quarantine hit you because, even when I wasn't there, in the nationals, 10 has always been mine”
