When in Argentina you choose an idol, you are capable of anything. From imitating the look, movements or styling, to wearing it everywhere on the skin as is often the case with Maradona or Messi in Argentina. But what’s not very common is for a professional player to wear that mark. It is known the tattoo that Pablo Migliore has of Martín Palermo on his back or that of Santiago Ascacibar de Maradona on his leg, but the case of Maximiliano Tunessi is something that few know how to describe. Why? Because the striker of Villa Mitre is one of the many fans of Gimnasia that will delirious with the arrival of Diego to the bank of substitutes of the “Lobo”.

Preparing his match with Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero for Copa Argentina in Cutral Co, the player was one of the many who got excited by the rumors until the photo of Maradona was realized with the 10 of Gimnasia. “I found out watching TV, like everyone else. First there was a possibility, after it was coming down. Now I’m glad it’s Diego. I have a lot of friends in La Plata who are crazy there,” he said. Amid all this madness, the “Wolf” is overflowing with paperwork to be members of the club and see an idol. In Maxi’s case, he is one of many Argentines who did not see him play live, but still no doubt that he is the greatest and demonstrates his passion.
“I got a tattoo without watching him play, that says more or less everything,” The iconic image of Maradona worn by Maxi Tunessi on her skin.
“I got a tattoo without watching him play, that says more or less everything. He’s an idol, inside the court is the best thing I’ve seen in videos. It’s hard to explain, I have a tattoo without watching him play live and he has managed to generate that for me,” Tunessi remarked.For his profession, it’s hard for me to go to the court and he remarked that a few years ago he doesn’t go through the Forest and he’s not a member of the club either. But beyond meeting Diego face-to-face, “something that would be great,” he says, he has the illusion of seeing him in the threshing of his category. “We’re going to see now when the tournament is over if I can go to the court and see it, that’s enough,” he said.

Beyond his passion, Tunessi made it clear to be a passionate but wise guy, putting his priorities first and foremost. Still, he is not encouraged to put Diego’s arrival to the height of anything he has lived. “It’s hard to compare it to something. Personal things always get before anything else, but it’s a giant joy, it’s all convulsed, I have friends in the silver who are crazy and it’s quite a quilombo, and that’s what he (Maradona) generates.” In this note:
