El Diego

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY

"This is an operatically emotional book, and also an exceptionally vivid one" Martin Amis, Guardian "A revealing autobiography of a footballing genius" Sunday Times Sports Book of the Week "El Diego illustrates the man's simple, unadulterated love for the game, for the pure unsullied act of taking a football and making it dance to his exuberant tunes. It's a love story, without a happy ending, stopping when he walks off the pitch for the last time" Scotsman "It is the autobiography of a footballer, not a celebrity who played football - Maradona's is a turbulent love story about his passion for the game" The Times "Let's say it now, the real reason you want to read a book written by Diego Maradona is to see whether a genius who could skip past every assailant on the planet (except the ones with a wrap of coke) can actually hold a pen, let alone string a sentence together. Thankfully he can." Arena

Kunders vurdering

f
fup duck – 18.01.2007

– Mykje er sagt og skive om Maradona, men ingenting kan nokon gong konkurrere med det han sjølv synte på fotballbana. Dette er eit forsøk på å formidle Maradonas historie, frå oppvekst i Buenos Aires, til suksess i argentinsk liga og på landslaget, før han tek turen over til Europa og gjer både lukke og skapar skandale. Det siste summerer vel opp Maradonas liv ganske godt. Ingen kunne gjere som han på bana, og få kunne gjere som han utanfor. Boka er ikkje ført i pennen av Maradona sjølv, men er ein autobiografi der han overlet skrivinga til andre. Resultatet er ganske bra. Og som forventa seier Maradona det som det er. Han er ikkje politisk korrekt (som Pele) eller latar som om han er noko meir enn ein fotballspelar (slik som Beckham). Han er folkets mann, som alle vil ha del av. Og det vart nok hans bane, som han innrømmer sjølv. Tidlegare storspelar Valdano seier det slik; "For so many years we have told him repeatedly, "You're a God", "You're a star", "You're our salvation", that we forgot to tell him the most important thing: "You're a man".
