Argentina's quarter-final match against England in the 1986 World Cup will always be remembered for Maradona's two goals:The first,an opportunistic handball — which somehow worked.His second,scored minutes later,is known simply as the Goal of the Century:an amazing seventy-yard run with the ball glued improbably to his left foot,as English defenders flail (使勁亂擺) helplessly to the side.The iconic Argentine-television narration sums up the feeling: "Diego," the breathless announcer shouts, "what planet are you from?"
Somehow,after winning the World Cup two matches later,it all went wrong.As if Kapadia's remarkable new documentary, "Diego Maradona",takes a revealing look at the emotional cost of fame and shows how disposable talent can be,no matter how impressive the gift.
The documentary really begins in July,1984,when Barcelona sold Maradona to Napoli (for what was then a world-record fee).One of the world's greatest players was sold to a club in Italy's poorest and most violent city.In the first press conference,when a journalist dares to ask what many must have wondered:Did the local Mafia (黑手黨) have anything to do with financing this deal?Maradona dissembles for a moment,before the president of the club steps in to reject the notion angrily.
The film argues convincingly that Maradona's greatest sporting achievement was not the 1986 World Cup victory with Argentina but the two scudettos (意甲聯(lián)賽) that he won with Napoli,in 1987 and 1990,which turned the league upside down and angered the traditional powerhouses.The hateful criticism directed at Napoli and its fans was an expression of a national divide between the North and South.Yet,the on-field footage is stunning and the Neapolitans flattered him by saying "their city is visited by an angel in soccer sneakers".
The defining moment came during the 1990 World Cup in Italy.Maradona,playing for Argentina and already hated by most Italian fans because of his association with a despised club,was booed (喝倒彩) everywhere he played.Argentina met Italy in the semifinals.When Argentina beat Italy,Maradona became the most hated man in the country.The next season,back at Napoli,he faced fury unlike any he'd ever encountered.Soon afterward,he was caught in scandals,the league banned him from the game for more than a year,and he returned to Argentina in disgrace.
On the day of his 2001 testimonial (紀(jì)念賽),Maradona took the microphone with arms folded across his chest. "Soccer is the world's most beautiful game," he said,and nothing he'd done should be held against the sport itself. "I made mistakes,and I paid for them," he said.The entire stadium roared back its forgiveness,and he paused for a second,before continuing. "But the ball is never stained."
