(9 years ) began to show his skills on the football team Los Cebolitas child , playing
to advanced . After a long youth " El Pibe de Oro " (as it was called at the time ) , was
hired by the club Argentinos Juniors in 1976 and debuted in the major championship in Argentina
a year later was named the 1st time will team with only 17 years , and in 1979 he was the
captain of U-21 in your country . In Maradona played for Argentinos Juniors 166 times and
had a staggering 116 goals (an average of 0.7 goals per game) , thanks to it began to
attract the attention of big clubs and in 1980 moved to Boca Juniors , where had a short
stint . Even so let your magic by the stage in which he played with the jersey of Boca
and pointed 28 goals in just 40 games . Two years later he was hired by Barcelona
and first played on the European stage , the same year he participated for the first time
in a World Championship (1982 in Spain ) but was a bit short of expectations . In the Catalan
added to his resume a League and a Spanish Copa del Rey , in the two years he was there
and did like the foot (or to his head ) for 38 times in 58 games . In the year 1984 came
the interest of Napoli in Italy and he accepted , thus transferring to the club where else
would shine throughout your career. In the first two years playing in Italy have not
won a title, and reached the World 86 with a huge desire to win . That same World that
Maradona was to football history , having led Argentina to the victory with goals magnificent
and controversial . A historic match against English team Maradona
to tell the Quarter- Final of the competition , the Azteca stadium wrote a little story
with their feet ( and hands) , because 51 minutes of the game after a famous center
Jorge Valdano , Maradona jumped in dispute with England goalkeeper and pushed the ball
into the net with his hand , having gone down in history as " the hand of God " , but Diego
did not stop there and after 4 minutes ( 55 minutes ) , pointed out one of the best, if
not the best goal ever , having covered more than half of the field and fintado 5 opponents

, as it is obvious that also marked the I try to honor by Gary Lineker . This game may
have marked ( the positive side ) that Maradona 's career from here was always having to add
achievements in the tournament finals Argentina defeated Germany 3-2 . In Napoli won two championships
, one UEFA Cup , one Coppa Italia and Italian Super Cup after those wins came the 1990 World
Cup where Maradona shone again, but only managed to lead his team until the end where he would
lose to Germany 1-0 . In 1992 he returned to Spain this time to Sevilla after being
expelled from Napoli to be caught in a doping control , yet the Argentine superstar has
played in Italy for 259 times and scored by 115 ( average of 0.4 goals per game .) In
Seville only played for 29 times getting 7 goals in 1993 had an even shorter passage
by Newell 's Old Boys ( *** ) in what was the return to their country of origin . In

Diez , ( his other nickname ) returned to Boca Juniors , after serving a suspension
for one year for drug use , which forced him to see out of the 1994 World Cup , this tournament
where Argentina was eliminated shortly in the eighth -finals .

use . In total he scored 311 goals out by the selection .
