39 years by the hand of God: the goals that changed to Argentine football
There are two important situations in the duel against the English and both are starring Diego Maradona. The first is the goal with the hand, the one that today makes those of Great Britain spill tears of injustices since it should not have been validated. In the interview granted post meeting, the author titled it “The hand of God.”
The other important goal is what is called “The best goal in the history of the World Cups”. Accompanied by the unforgettable story of Victor Hugo Morales, Maradona took the ball behind the middle of the court, left six players on the road if goalkeeper Peter Shilton is told and stamped the second goal of the game. This is, for many, the most important performance that has been seen from an Argentine player in a shock corresponding to the World Cup.
Why Diego Armando Maradona modified footballer’s day
Previously, this footballer’s day was already celebrated in Argentina, but it was the May 14 for the double of Ernesto Grillo to England in a friendly played on that date but from 1953 at the Monumental Stadium. The second goal of the then Independent player was listed as “the impossible goal.”
In August 2020, Argentine members presented a project to the Argentine Football Association To change the day in commemoration of Diego. Quickly, Claudio Tapia accepted the application and in 2021, the date was passed.
