On the tour of India, Maradona said- Everyone used to drop me in the match

The world is in shock as one of the football’s all time greatest Diego Maradona passed away at 60. He gave football a modern face that no one will never forget.

Maradona was called the God of football around the world, but he disagreed. Maradona used to say that he is a human being. A man who also takes drugs is also a communist, but he had a misery. Which he said during the 2008-09 tour of India.

He was sad that whenever he played in a match, everyone was trying to make him fall. During that time there was a rule of backtracking which was later abolished. During his visit to India, Maradona had said that if there was no rule of tackling in his time, he would have had double the number of goals in his account today. Maradona used to pounce on a lightning-fast ball. Everyone was aware of his art.
