The Argentine football superclassic had a great presence at Diego Maradona’s premiere as a Napoli player.
Soccer still contains stories That, today, being so many, they do not usually remember how they deserve. One of them is the particular premiere of Diego Maradona in Napoliclub with which he would have such high -level performances that would become the God of an entire city.
Pelusa arrived from Barcelona and previously to the Spanish club, he wore the shirt of his love club: Mouth. In the Xeneize, he managed to repeatedly bitter opportunities, with whom just for those things of destiny, would be the first rival who would face Celeste’s dress in Italy.

Napoli – River: Maradona’s debut, the presence of mouth and chickens to receive the millionaire
If Boca and Napoli’s fan has something in common, It is passionate that are for their football teams. To the point of finding the return to be able to small the rival on duty so I am not one who gets used to face. And those of southern Italy although they did not know about Maradona’s fanaticism for the blue and gold team, if they knew their passage there, so that August 19, 1984 That meant the premiere of Pelusa, there were several perlitas that the millionaires did not like.
But before you have to understand that River did not arrive in the best of contexts. The game played it for several friendlies in that era of skinny cowswhere there was no other to be able to collect at a sensitive moment for those of Núñez. The recent departure of Luis Cubilla forced him to go with an interim coach as was the case of Federico Vairobut the little organization was not even able to carry a physical trainer.
The Neapolitans owed River money for the purchase of Ramón Díaz In 1982 and the game was perfect. The San Paolo was filled, football was breathed in all stands, since the 85 thousand locations were exhausted. But River, who already knew Maradona, didn’t seem so far from home. The ultras of the southern Italian team made a real party: Bengles, a mouth flag in the heart of the fans and when the millionaire went out to the court, they threw chickens. The complete combo for Núñez’s in an environment that did not expect so hostile.
Finally, it was a 0 to 0 where the Argentine press noticed River. Maradona was the most prominent of the Italians and even had a striking situation, since he converted a goal that was canceled since the ball hit the arm. Years later, with the hand he would make the so remembered goal to the English in the World Cup in Mexico of 1986.
Maradona’s impact on Napoli and Italian football
This was Diego Maradona’s premiere in Naples, but it is a small paragraph in the story that he would write later. His name is not just a synonym for football, it is perhaps the most beloved person in the city today, where the father tells the son and thus a circle is formed that, at least there, seems to never end.
Pelusa achieved with Napoli Two scudettos: The 1987 and 1990, the first in the history of the club. In addition, champion of the Italia 1986/87 Cupthe UEFA Cup 1988/89 and the 1990 European Super Cup.
