The Argentine legend reiterates that his love for the people of Naples has not diminished, and believes that the Partenopei fans are a force of nature.
Maradona has admitted that he dreams of a reunion with Napoli, and stated that he would love to manage the club someday.
The Argentine national spent seven seasons playing for the Azzurri, elevating the team to unprecedented heights in their history, and their accomplishments of the golden era remain unmatched for the outfit to the date.
The former Partenopei player also has a famed €37m tax bill that will also hinder his entry into http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 until paid.
This is not the first time that Maradona has expressed his undying love for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003, and once again reiterated his dream of leading the Naples outfit.
The manager for Dubai outfit Al Wasl added that only time will tell whether he is destined to make a comeback, but maintained that he will continue missing the warmth of Neapolitans until the day comes.
While talking to L’Espresso, the 51-year-old said:
“Coaching the Azzurri at the San Paolo is a beautiful dream. Time will tell. Of the city I miss the Neapolitans, the energy of the fans, the sun and the love of the people for whom I gave so much.”
Maradona then referred to Napoli‘s Coppa Italia win over Juventus, stating that not much has changed since his time with the Partenopei, as they fought and won against the Bianconeri then and continue to do so even today.
However, the Argentine legend was also quick to point out to the differences between the two eras, citing that the game has moved from being a display of head and heart to being dominated by money.
“In my years, there was another type of calcio. We played with our feet and head, connected to the heart. We laughed, we rejoiced and wept. Now there are many players with too much money, it is polluting the sport.”
When asked if he was ever asked to sell a game, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 manager stated that he would have kicked anyone trying to offer such a proposition.
The former Napoli midfielder added that the match-fixing scandal is a poor influence on the children, who idolize the players that have betrayed the game.
