Diego Maradona holds the World Cup trophy after Argentina defeated West Germany 3-2 in the 1986 FIFA World Cup final at the Azteca Stadium, Mexico City, Mexico, June 29, 1986. /CFP 如神明般存在,如夏花般绚烂。世上少有人能让不同肤色、不同语言、不同信仰、不同阶层的族群紧密联结在一起,只为膜拜那闪耀的星光,马拉多纳轻而易举地做到了。 若没有马拉多纳,没有“上帝之手”,没有连过5人的“千里走单骑”,没有那不勒斯奇迹,足球和我们都绝不会是现在这般模样。 罕有人比马拉多纳更撕裂民意,亦罕有人能引发如此虔诚的追随和无悔的痴狂。 本期CGTN原创体育播客,主持人胡芝诚与英籍资深编辑Josh McNally把焦点对准“老马”,那个在阿根廷贫民窟长大的穷孩子,早已是万人敬仰的球王。灯塔并未熄灭,他只是带着万千宠爱去了天堂。 A crying Argentine fan mourns the death of Diego Maradona, Buenos Aires, Argentina, November 25, 2020. /CFP CGTN Sports Talk host Hu Zhicheng is joined by senior sports editor Josh McNally to reflect upon Diego Maradona's sudden death, which has brought an outpouring of mourning and tears from all corners of the globe.
