The Nigerian born ace sports commentator, Mitchell Obi has mourned the legendary Agentina
Diego Maradona,who just passed away on Wednesday 25 November,2020 at the age of 60 years.
Mitchell Obi in a press release,he signed and made available to Journalists wrote.
“If you never watched Diego Maradona, the one-man battleship play football, you may not understand how beautiful football could be. Diego was the quintessential craftman with and without ball and he played the game with an enduring charm. Definitely Argentina will cry for the one who gave them a World Cup outside their shore…the footballer of the century.
“And Napoli fans will conjure oncemore the image of the god of the game who freed their hearts for the Italian game with a scudetto that came dowm south. Amando loved the game andlike the little onions that they called him his sense of endeovour laced with a seductive ease could stir up tears in defeat and joy. Now the hand of God has taken him upstairs to meet the glorious stars and we can only celebrate the moments that he took our breath away than those which he denied us Nigerians after a cocktail of stimulants. So Diego left Pele behind…the two who shared the ultimate FIFA accolade of Player Of The Century. All that goes indeed returns…in this unusual year we will still cry for Diego!.”
