One of the most remembered plays of the World Cups is the ‘Hand of God’, by the work and grace of Diego Armando Maradona. The controversial move gave ‘Albiceleste’ 1-0 against England, for the quarterfinals of Mexico 1986. 34 years later, ‘D10s’ confessed in dialogue with France Football that he wants to repeat the action.

"I dream of being able to score another goal for the English, with my right hand this time," Diego Maradona replied when asked about his dream birthday gift, three days after blowing 60 candles.

The prestigious French magazine published this Wednesday a special issue dedicated to the "Pibe de Oro", presented as the first interview in 25 years granted by the legendary "10" to the French press, and without receiving financial compensation.

Maradona also confessed that his "greatest pride" is "having made people happy with a ball."

"I have the feeling of having given pleasure and fun to the people who came to see me at the stadium and who saw me on television," said one of the best players in the history of football, but also one of the most controversial.

The current coach of the Argentine First Division club Gimnasia Esgrima La Plata was placed in preventive isolation after having been in contact with a person with symptoms of covid-19, his personal doctor announced on Tuesday.

This pandemic "is a real hard blow for all the peoples of Latin America," Maradona said.

Of the active players, Maradona estimates that his compatriot Leo Messi and the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo "are one step above the rest." "Not a single one manages to do half of them," he said.
