Diego Maradona's doctor, Leopoldo Luque, hinted on Tuesday the possibility that his patient continues his recovery in a house in Nordelta, near where his daughter Gianinna lives, once he is discharged from the Olivos Clinic, where he is recovering after an operation for a cerebral edema and began a detoxification process due to his addiction to alcohol.

"Now we are talking a lot with the family and a decision is being reached, which I cannot share, but which is the most logical. The decision is almost made. The option for Diego to continue his recovery in a house in Nordelta is one of the strongest ideas, "said Luque in dialogue with Radio La Red.

Everything Luque said

 "I went to the house because they were strange, confused. Uncommon things in his personality, like his mood. Maybe he was giving an answer about something that was not being talked about."

"The truth is that I felt that it was a good time to take it and study it a little. There is no doctor / patient relationship of a patient who is very interested in his health," Luque said.

"That day it didn't take me so long to convince him, but he came after several attempts. I went into his room and he told me the usual 'no, thrush'".

"When he went for a walk with me in the postoperative period, I told him that he had to stay and he became aggressive in the sense of wanting to handle the situation himself. The withdrawal manifested itself with sweating, tachycardia, euphoria and that endangered neurosurgery if he were I was going to his house. But it was all to be expected, we were not surprised. "

"When I spoke of abstinence I was referring to alcohol, not drugs, thank God. Those issues are never solved, they are dealt with. In the last time Diego had a drink and it made him sick. He is not a great consumer, but that's all a table for the drugs he takes. "

"Diego today is a person who with great logic, looks at me and says' Luque, what am I doing here? He does not want to go violent. You have to think about many things, that he is a 60-year-old person, who has autonomy, lucidity. How far can it be imposed? "

"Now we are talking a lot with the family and a decision is being reached, which I cannot share, but which is the most logical. The decision is almost made. The option for Diego to continue his recovery in a house in Nordelta is one of the strongest ideas. "

"I think that you bring together all Maradonians and they love him half as much as I love him. I have put what I have to do to get him forward and in that sense I am super calm. I greatly differentiate the love and respect that I have for him. , with what I have to do for his health. "

"You have to discuss many variables and no one is going to have a reason in that sense. You ask me and I tell you that no one should be taken away from his job, especially if he is passionate about it and gives it life. I believe that Diego suffers the least where pressures is on a court. "
