If guessing the dribbling of Diego Maradona in his shorts time was an impossible mission, so difficult in these moments of 60 years and heavy backpack, to dictate sentences on his present and, even more so on his future.
The diagnosis remains the same as a week ago when he was discharged from the Olivos Clinic after an operation for the subdural hematoma on the head and intensive treatment to stabilize his mental and physical state deteriorated by his addiction to alcohol and psychotropic drugs.
Recovery must be long-term, although everything in Maradona's life is day by day.
In that scenario, while false rumors of a new hospitalization were flying overhead, Dr.
Leopoldo Luque
returned a frank and forceful answer to a close friend who asked about the health of the Ten:
"He is better than you and me
.
"
Luque and Maradona, before receiving medical discharge and settling in their new home in Tigre.
Luque, who visited his patient in his new home in Tigre on Tuesday and will do so again this Wednesday afternoon, sought to back up these good feelings with some stories on his Instagram account in which he uploaded "old photos" with Diego.
It is not by chance that the doctor has clarified that the images are not current after the short circuit generated with Dalma after the photo that Luque released with Diez on the day of medical discharge.
Beyond the jerks that will continue to appear in this truce mounted between the environments,
the first part of the script for outpatient care has been completed
.
Maradona continues to live with a nurse who monitors him 24 hours a day, performs exercises with his kinesiologist to improve motor skills, is surrounded by his family circle, receives regular visits from his children, mainly Gianinna and Jana.
And he was able to escape, for the moment, to the consumption of alcohol, a fundamental issue to avoid a relapse.
With Diego well, the problems do not disappear;
they mutate.
The second stage of his outpatient treatment now aims to find motivations.
To start an engine that had recently been turned off.
"Nothing motivates him," said those close to Maradona on the eve of his 60th birthday. It is no coincidence that he has avoided most of the requests for interviews that came to him for his anniversary.
The mission that appears is to activate Maradona.
May these days that start and end and that often become long and monotonous, find a hook that makes you enjoy yourself, that keeps your head occupied and that allows you to stay away from the temptations that harm you.
A couple of weeks ago when he was admitted to intensive care and underwent unforeseen surgery, talking about a possible return to the fields to direct Gymnastics was a utopia, at least in the short term.
The priorities were limited to solving the urgent.
Once again his life was seriously at risk
.
Now the green grass doesn't look so far away anymore.
Furthermore, it appears as an incentive advised by the doctors themselves as part of the patient's evolution.
"Maybe I can go to a team game or training once a week, when they play soccer," they warn.
Here is an old problem that is that of transfers:
once again it was far from Estancia Chica
and the possibility of a return to Brandsen does not enter the portfolio.
Each step forward, it is worth noting, will be agreed with Diego's daughters, who will continue to be the decision-makers based on talks with specialists.
Without drones altering his privacy, the noise of the first hours in Tigre and the tension after a long and delicate hospitalization diminished.
If the river doesn't sound, the signs are good in the Maradona world.
There is now a mixture of optimism and caution, according to a character impossible to guess.
