Why Maradona kept two hours in her hand, Ronaldo finds out.

Pele, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were among the miracles of the past and present to honour the 1986 World Cup hero.

Maradona had his faults, but there is no doubt that he was loved by the overwhelming majority, especially in Argentina and all those privileged to play alongside him.

Brazilians also loved Argentina, including Ronaldo Nazario, another contender for the status of the biggest football player.

Ronaldo, twice the World Cup winner, talked about his special relationship with his South American friend after Maradon's death. Like the rest of the football world, the former world-class striker admitted to being “very sad” after hearing the news.

“Diego left an incredible legacy in football. His loss is very difficult to accept”, he was quoted as saying by The Mirror. I was taken by surprise and left very sad. I want to send my love to his family. He changed the lives of many, and I will always be grateful for the inspiration he gave me”.

Ronaldo also told an exciting story involving his late friend, explaining why Argentina's legend held two hours. Earlier it was reported that Maradona kept two hours while traveling - one to tell the time in her hometown and the other to tell her time in Argentina. However, Ronaldo continued to discover the real reason.

“One of the early ones who came to visit me in Madrid, we went out at 11:x1> dinner, he added. “Diego had two hours and legend told me he didn't go anywhere without both”.

I asked why she had two of them, and she told me that her daughter had given them gifts and had never taken them off since. At the end of the dinner he took off one and gave it to me, but I told him I didn't want to admit it, but he got angry and I'm going to take care of them for the rest of my life, as a reminder of his generosity and friendship.

This particular hour became an even more precious possession for Ronaldo, who is currently president of the Spanish club, Real Waldalid.
