Diego Armando Maradona:
When you're on the field, the life goes away, the problems go away, everything goes away!

So, Napoli and a lot of the south of Italy is basically run by gangsters, yet the legal authorities chose to go after an Argentinian footballer who had been responsible for "the sewer of Italy*" winning its first football title in forever. What a sack of ungrateful creeps! They should all be so ashamed of themselves. When Argentina eliminated Italy in Napoli, did the Italians expect Maradona to take a dive?
Maradona wasn't driven out of football through his own excesses, it was the vengeful Italians who killed his career when he still had many years left to play. It's sad to think about what else he could have achieved in the sport had they not vilified him in the city that he had almost single-handed raised out of its nadir.
I hope Italy never wins another title. They don't deserve it. I was so happy when Spain eliminated them in penalties in the 2008 Eurocopa and then humiliated them in the Eurocopa final in 2012.
*"The sewer of Italy" describing Napoli aren't my words, but those of other Italians mocking this city considered a backwater (or much, much worse) before Diego Maradona raised its prestige through his play on the pitch.
