"2 years ago you came to the Wolf, forever."
It is the phrase that could be read on a
flag with which the
Gymnastics
team posed
for the photo, before the match with Vélez.
On that cloth was also the face of Diego Armando Maradona.
It is that
last September 8th was the couple of years since the Ten stepped on and revolutionized El Bosque.
Unforgettable and eternal.
It was little more than a year, but full of emotions and, above all, tributes.
Since
Diego arrived at the Lobo platense, fierce was the love that was unleashed by the Ten.
And not only in the city of the diagonals, there were unique moments in each stadium he stepped on.
Flags, songs and it is the armchairs, of course.
On November 25, 2020, Maradona left us in body.
But his legacy will continue forever.

The unforgettable September 8, 2019
After signing his contract, the Ten was presented by the president of Gymnastics as the new technical director of the professional team and, of course, he was accompanied by a crowd that did not stop cheering him from the different stands.
"I thought my heart was going to burst
,
"
Diego shouted excitedly to the 24 thousand souls who were present that afternoon in a Forest dressed in full dress.
Diego's presentation in Gymnastics.
That afternoon, on time, everything happened.
A Maradonian caravan made a pilgrimage to the field and was excited from beginning to end.
Diego, radiant and very excited, went from the affectionate greeting with the people to the harangue for his guests, whom he asked to "lock with the head."
In addition, Maradona promised to save Gimnasia from relegation.
And he did...
Diego's presentation in Gymnastics.
The ovation of the Monumental for Maradona
The National Team's match against Bolivia in the Monumental for the South American Qualifiers, marked the return of the fans to the stadiums for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic began.
Although only 21,000 people could attend, they made themselves felt ... There were ovations for Lionel Messi, for Angelito Di María and even for Lionel Scaloni.
But that was not all, when 10 minutes went into the first half, the fans remembered Diego Armando Maradona.
"Olé, Olé, Diego, Diego, Diego", sounded with everything in the stands of the River field.
The improvised tribute by the fans who went to the stadium closed the historic "Maradó, Maradó, Maradó".
The little song also brought luck ... Yes, just three minutes after the tribute to Ten Messi appeared to break the 0-0: Leo scored a great goal, with a pipe included.
As for Maradona to stand up and clap from the sky ...
Since November 25, 2020, the day Diego passed away, there have been hundreds of tributes for El Diez.
Despite the pandemic, there was a massive wake at the Casa Rosada, all of Naples mourned the death of the idol and even the National Team wore a special jacket dedicated to the champion in Mexico 1986. But the care of the fans on the court was still missing for Maradó.
The Argentine fans, those who had paid tribute to Maradona in each stadium he visited when he was a LP Gymnastics coach, had not been able to dedicate an ovation to him on the court due to the restrictions to be able to go to the court.
