Carlos Bilardo, the coach of the Argentine National Team that won the title in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, joined the celebrations for the

35th anniversary

of that great feat at the Azteca Stadium on

Tuesday

.

He did it

through a video

that the journalist Martín Arévalo published on his social networks.

"Hi guys. I'm speaking to remind all of you that 35 years ago

we were world champions

, and I wanted to celebrate with all of you," said the Doctor, who is suffering from a neurodegenerative disease.

Bilardo, also runner-up in the 1990 World Cup in Italy, was the

great architect

of a team that arrived surrounded by doubts due to its level in the commitments prior to the maximum event.

Once in Mexico, from the first game, that team achieved a

perfect performance

to accompany the best Diego Maradona who has worn the albiceleste jacket.

Precisely, regarding the deaths of Maradona and José Luis Brown, a protégé of his since he met him in Estudiantes de La Plata and who turned a goal into an epic performance in the final against Germany,

the family still does not tell

Bilardo anything.

Nor have they told him anything about the deaths of Alejandro Sabella and

Oscar Malbernat

, two others he met in his long history linked to Pincha.

"He still doesn't know that Diego died, we change the channel, we distract him, we tell him on another channel he looks better. The nurses are already hot, they tell him 'stop, Carlos, we'll see him on another channel.' They waited until the end of the Tribute, he does not know the death of Tata, Sabella or Malbernat. And when he asks about Diego he says

'where is the 10?'

And we answer him 'What do I know, he must be lying around in Europe' and we change the conversation, "revealed his brother Jorge a few days ago.

In addition, in that interview with Radio República, Jorge told about the

day-to-day

life of Doctor Bilardo.

"He gets up at 9, has breakfast. He has two nurses, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.

Someone always comes to visit him

: Lemme, Ruggeri, Burruchaga. At noon he eats, naps, watches a game in the afternoon, he the grandchildren, the wife, the daughter visit, watch a movie, and 12 o'clock at night goes to sleep, a normal life, "he said.
