After the experience in Spain, after the splendid Neapolitan interlude, Diego Armando Maradona decides to return to Argentina but first …
But first there is a World Cup to play in the USA and the pibe de oro cannot miss his fourth appointment with football history. Maradona arrives at the American World Cup upset. On 21 June 1994 Argentina beat Greece 4-0 with a hat-trick from Gabriel Omar Batistuta but it was the 3-0 goal of the 33-year-old Maradona that remained in history. Víctor Hugo Morales praises the action with the frenetic pace of South American commentators. The “0” of the word “goal” tend to infinity. Morales yells, “He’s alive! Is alive!”. Maradona is back and is running himself screaming at the camera on the sideline. That scream went around the world but – some say precisely because of those bulging eyes – at the end of the next match against Nigeria, el diez was drawn for doping control. Positive and … end game.
Already, but in the meantime he has returned to Argentina and it is here that the football decline begins and his second life explodes: as a coach, manager but above all a very rich testimonial.
