The Daddy
I love this little bit of film of Maradona warming up.
It tells you more about the man than a book's worth of pontification.
Exhuberance, instinct, anarchy. What a player.
Very few players can get a standing ovation for just warming up!
It is important to glance at the other players when they come into shot to understand. They are robotically moving through their routine, going about their business, looking like they would rather be doing something else. Little Diego also looks like he is lost in thought, but he is floating above everyone else at the same time.
Not sure about that wobbly chest thing he does though.
