Video: Emotional Simeone is not quiet for Maradona | Football

sport">While the 22 players on the field were silent, the visibly emotional Simeone clapped his hands for the man who won Argentina the world title in 1986.

Myth

sport">Atletico’s 50-year-old trainer had already responded to Maradona’s death earlier in the week. “A mythical person has left us, an Argentinian who used all his rebellious tricks to fight for positive and negative things. My generation grew up with Maradona, we all watched him when we started playing football, ”said Simeone.

sport">“He was our guide, he taught us how to play the game. He taught us so much. Our football identity was created by looking at him. At Sevilla he took me under his wing in a fantastic way. He also showed me what it means to play for Argentina. I feel he is always with us. ” At the 1994 World Cup, Simeone belonged to the Argentinian selection, just like Maradona, but Fluff was already sent home in the group stage after he was caught doping.

sport">Atletico Madrid won 1-0 against Valencia by an own goal from Toni Lato. Simeone’s team is unbeaten in the Spanish league this season.
