Diego Maradona's birthday events evoked pleasant memories of old football and memorable games among the adults among us (from the days when our brains were still able to pick up and capture details), and of course the attraction is not just Diego's exiles and performance, not just his technique and agility and leg stability. This one, but of course his character, his demeanor, savagery and madness.

This is exactly what was perfect in that duo against England - the combination of the two key elements that characterized Maradona, talent and madness, genius and delinquency, in their most extreme and distinct form, a few minutes apart.



Although it is not always easy to bear this combination, of the crazy genius, but it is certainly the most interesting and attractive to watch.

There is something boring about sterile athletes, while those prone to disaster evoke more sympathy.

The simple fan understands the heart of the "problematic" athlete, while those who always maintain composure and professionalism may be appreciative and admirable, but there will always be a distance from them.

(And if I may admit it, even in unimportant neighborhood football games I tend to lose it and get carried away, often even getting dirty, so the temperamentals seem to me heartless aliens).

Diego Maradona 60 years old: Argentina bows to "King", football world salutes "Greatest of all"

Liar, deceiver, drugged, king.

And here it's time to touch on Joshua and the issue of "the dirty actor", with the Portuguese undoubtedly from this beloved genre, of the "crazy genius", the unexpected.

He's been here long enough here to determine with certainty that it's a talent bomb and a ticking time bomb, that any game he does not finish with a red or a brawl is a miracle, and any game he does not cook or conquer is a miracle to an opponent.



It is also important to mention that the "dirty player" of today is not the "dirty player" of yesteryear, because in our time, in the Maradona era, in the days when Amir Shelach and front brakes were, there were occasional footballers whose whole job was to be bullied and mowed.

I remember names like Yechiel Ibn Tzur or Yossi Blass, who at least in my mind and imagination were devoid of any technical talent (forgive me if not), and the only expectation from them was to "pick up someone" in the style of Winnie Jones.

Today, of course, there are no such players, and it's good that way, and in fact even those who are now considered mowers - Khaled Khalayla - is merely the king of the Yellows.

His fans admired, the fans against him hated.

In modern football there is no place for just a "dirty player", and if there is one he must come with great talent, otherwise it is unbearable.

From the Premier League, the struggles of Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira are remembered, tough-hearted but also leaders and technical and every coach's dream, while in Israel the ultimate "dirty" was probably Yossi Aboksis, who knew how to take the genre to professional levels, the highest commitment. "dirt".



This was really not the stinginess, Aboksis was tough and aggressive but not brutal;

He just liked to get annoyed.

"Always steals a few meters in the wall, brings the ball close with free kicks (or keeps the opponent's away), delays the game when necessary, throws the ball aside, argues with the referee, elbows and little ones behind your back, and in general, an obsessive attempt to drive you crazy, so-called" I do not get sick by any means. "

Joshua has the master.



On the one hand this is non-sporting behavior, on the other hand what is more sporty than wanting to win at any cost.

As mentioned, it has to come with talent (no problem finding players who are just plain dirty), and when it comes together, in one package, as the Abacus had and as Joshua has, it is requested that the "crazy genius" or "dirty talent" or any case of a good player And controversial - will be the most beloved player on the team.

That's how it works.



In the case of Aboksis, fans of his teams adored him, and rival fans hated him, which is usually a good sign.

As a fan sitting in the stands, tense and stressed and nervous, you identify with the one who acts like you and does everything for the victory.

Someone nervous and petty like you.

As far as you are concerned, you are at war.

Despises the opponent.

It warms the heart to see someone who does not care about his image, and is willing to get dirty for you and the team.

This is every fan's dream.

Jozua's case is a little different because it's less dirty as a way of life, but more brain-warmed and a short fuse.

He's not an abacus (who was a workhorse) but more Eran Levy, who can disappear for an entire game, and cover it up with one touch of magic that casts a gray shadow over the rest (amazing every time football fans can watch a 90-minute game waiting for one brilliant delivery, Worth it).

So yes, in the festive weekend for Maradona, when one remembers his character and not just the exiles, when talking about his falls, cheating, drugs, betrayals and tears, discriminations, lies and rudeness, one remembers again what fans fall in love with, what buys them, what they identify with, what they look for.

If he's a brilliant player, that's great.

If it's a little dirty, it's great.

If he is both, it's almost perfect.
