Maradona confirms his father ‘went peacefully’
Buenos Aires: Argentinian football legend Diego Maradona looked moved by the death of his father Don Diego as he assured that his father “went peacefully”.
“Unfortunately, he has left us but he went peacefully. All his children were there, by his side. All the love from all of us went with him,” said Maradona on Thursday, as per reports.
The 54-year-old former Argentina player said these words in a recorded message distributed by local media minutes after his father’s death was officially confirmed.
The 1986 Mexico World Cup champion also thanked “everyone who has supported me” and “the doctors who did everything they could to keep him alive”.
“I also thank the journalists who always respected the situation especially the problem of entering and leaving the clinic. I thank you so much and all the Argentinians who prayed for my father,” added the former footballer.
Maradona’s 87-year-old father, nicknamed ‘Chitoro’, passed away on Thursday after a lengthy internment in a medical centre here.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
