Speaking about his father, Maradona Jr. he did not hide his complex side. “He had a complex but beautiful life. He was a human being who enjoyed life the most, but he also had difficult moments. He made mistakes and paid for his mistakes, but he did no harm to anyone,” said Maradona’s son, born in 1986 from a relationship with Cristiano Sinagra.
During the conversation, he also touched on his father’s sporting successes, asserting that Maradona should have won more world championships.
“Two world championships were stolen from my father, the one from 1990 and 1994. He should have won three,” he said.
To Broncan’s question about Lionel Messi and his relationship with him, he replied that he did not know him because, as he says, Messi’s environment did not allow it. Still, he offered an interesting comparison. “Among people, Messi is number one, but my father was God,” said Maradona Jr.
Maradona Jr. he also spoke openly about his relationship with his father, with whom he reconciled only after 29 years. He recalled how his mother “always told him the truth” and that his father, despite his physical absence, was always present in his life.
“Today he is the absent person who is the most present. He brought a lot of joy on and off the field. The short time I spent with him was beautiful and I enjoyed it immensely. He was the captain of my happiest days,” he said emotionally, reports Index.hr.
The reconciliation, he said, came about after his father saw him in a television interview and asked to meet.
“He invited me to dinner and I told him I was living my dream. It was very unusual, we didn’t talk about the past at all. We talked about the present and established a good relationship,” he described their first meeting after almost three decades.
