'He wasn't even iconic, he was God-like.' 9News
Former Socceroo, Robbie Slater, is shocked by the news.
Maradona was God-like in his home country and in Italy, where he took Naples from a team that had won nothing to a team that won everything.He was constantly mobbed by fans. "He was a kid from the slums of Buenos Aires who now had everything, who was now under so much pressure all the time and became very lonely and I think that's what led to him making some poor choices."After Diego Armando Maradona's death in November 2020, aged 60, questions were raised about his medical treatment. "Diego was tired. He was tired of being Maradona," Luque told the Argentine media.
