One of the best tributes to Diego Maradona was made by Carlos Tevez last Wednesday, when he showed a remembered shirt that the star gave him to celebrate Boca's winning goal in the Copa Libertadores.
But the farewell continued this Thursday night with a moving post on social networks, where Dalma, one of the daughters of Ten, also responded.
"Any tribute that I can do to you will always make a small
thing
because of
how big you are,
" Carlitos began on his Instagram account when he showed the photo of the celebration in Brazil, where he exhibited a xeneize jacket that Maradona wore in 1981, when he was crowned in the Metropolitan tournament.
"This photo reflects that I
have not yet fallen
that you are no longer with us. I point to the sky but my gaze is towards the ground," added the captain, a day after the 1-0 win against Inter in Porto Alegre.
"But I also know that wherever you are,
you give me strength to continue
. I don't know if I can live up to it but I'm sure of one thing:
I'll leave my heart to make you happy !!! I miss you friend
", he closed the meaningful message.

The reactions of his companions were not long in coming.
Wanchope Abila, one of Carlitos's closest and faithful friend, commented:
"Crack
.
"
And the Colombian Edwin Cardona also joined:
"Idolo"
.
Daniel Osvaldo, for his part, wrote:
"I love you friend. You always understand everything."
Hours before publication, Dalma Maradona had thanked Apache for remembering his father who died on November 25.
"Thank you for everything. You are family,"
the young woman returned with the same image that the forward xeneize later added to her account.

Tevez, who was present at the intimate wake, was one of the most affected on campus.
He did not play on Sunday against Newell's
, affected by the loss of his idol, but he reappeared on Wednesday at Beira Rio to pay tribute to him in the best way: goal and victory in the first leg of the round of 16.
"
I drove him crazy so he would give me the 81 shirt
. First he gave me the 1995 Olan, which I also have. And then the 81, which for me is the best.
I decided to use it as a tribute to Diego
. They are sensations that I don't. I never thought I had, "Tevez said after the game.
Nice definition of Carlos Tevez for the triumph of Boca 👏

Speaking to TyC Sports, he added: "I had decided to use the 81. When I put it on, something entered my body that I cannot explain. The story. I came out calm because I knew I was going to score a goal.
Diego is unique. It is God. I knew I was going to stay and score a goal
. "
Carlitos thus emulated Lionel Messi, who in Spain had shown the shirt that Diez wore at Newell's in 1993. It was when the Rosario scored the fourth goal for Barcelona in the defeat of Osasuna and had an exciting gesture that traveled the world.
