After the reception that a crowd of fans gave him in the stadium, Diego Maradona gave his first lecture as coach of Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata. Below is a review of your best sentences.

The Wolf’s Welcome
“I lived many beautiful things, the birth of my daughters, of my children, but my heart believed that it would burst when I went out on the court. There I was slowed by someone upstairs, I don’t want to be a crybaby, but today I felt in heaven, I came to visit my mom again, on the court I was talking to her,” Ms. “Tota” said. Before the press conference, Diego had referred to his parents inside the stadium, when open-heartedly to reporters he remembered his worst health moments because of the addictions:
“La Tota was like, ‘Don’t die for that shit.’ And I didn’t die for that. Today my dad would say to me, ‘Walk better, fuck, walk better.’

“There were leaders who told me they went looking for me after the World Cup (South Africa 2010), but when they were going to do things they would call me. But since that’s past and now we have to work, laburar and we have no choice. I needed one of my last years, in my country, and then I see what I do. Because with Gymnastics in the first place, I don’t know if the president is going to renew me,” he said. Previously, in dialogue with the press on the court, i had said that “(Joseph) Blatter and (July) Grondona rushed the presidents of the clubs not to hire me in Argentina”. A wink for Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia

“I’m willing to talk to Tapia, I have no problem. I said things that didn’t go down, so I wanted to open the door for you now that I’m part of Argentine football.”

The struggle for permanence
“I don’t promise anything because I’m not a magician, but with today’s reception would be enough,” he said of the complicated reality with the averages Gymnastics lives. And he emphasized his desire to “play in the Forest would always be wonderful.” In this note:
