The posting of Boca On Twitter it worried everyone. “Gladiator of so many battles. Xeneize heart. This fan does not stop encouraging you in this fight … #FuerzaSilvio ”, published from the La Ribera club to throw positive energy at Silvio Marzolini, who at 79 is going through a delicate moment of health.
Multiple champion with the blue and gold as player and coach, Marzolini is serious. As reported from his family environment, the xeneize idol is now fighting a harsh disease. His health is very weak: last year he had suffered a stroke that forced him to make a long recovery.
“I pray for our Idol and friend, Silvio Marzolini,” wrote Jorge Ribolzi, who was part of the unforgettable 1981 Metropolitan champion who had Diego Maradona and Miguel Brindisi as figures and Marzolini sitting on the bench.

Born in Ferro Carril Oeste, passing through the National Team and participating in World Cups, Marzolini is considered one of the best left-back scores in history.
The former defender played 408 games in Boca and achieved six titles in a prolific decade of the 1960s in which only the coronation was missing in the incipient Copa Libertadores.

With the Argentina National Team – he played 28 games and scored a goal – he participated in the 1962 World Cups in England and 1966 in England.
In addition to that glorious move in 1981, Marzolini became Boca coach in the mid-1990s, again with Maradona on the roster.
Then he took all his wisdom to Banfield, where he was in charge of the lower divisions and was the one who promoted figures such as Gabriel Paletta, Daniel Bilos, Jesús Dátolo and Darío Cvitanich, among others.
