Summary: The best performance of Diego Armando Maradona (Sport 1)

For the Israeli spectator, Yoram Arbel is an integral part of Diego Maradona's memorable performance at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

Arbel was the one to broadcast his biggest game - Argentina's quarter-final against England, where the legendary number 10 won a double: one with a touch of a hand, and the other with a slalom, in a goal defined by many as the greatest in history.

Arbel was engraved in memory mainly thanks to his unforgettable sentence after the second goal, when the Israeli broadcaster excitedly exclaimed "One hundred percent legal! One thousand percent legal!".

By the way, of course in Argentina the broadcast of the game also became legendary, and an integral part of the gate.

The famous broadcaster Victor Hugo Morales, accompanied the goal with the following description: "The ball reaches Maradona, two guards, Maradona controls the ball, he advances to the right, the genius of world football, he passes a third player and will now hand over to Borucha ... Maradona continues with The ball! Genius! Genius! Genius! Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta and gollllllllllllllllllllll!! Golllllllll! I want to cry! God save, Viva to football! Goulasso! Diego! Maradonahhhh! Forgot, all the time, divine genius, what star did you come to us from? To leave so many Englishmen behind, for the whole country to be united, to shout for Argentina. "For those tears, for all that."



"This is a film whose bad ending was known in advance," Yoram Arbel recalled tonight (Wednesday) in a conversation with Walla!

sport.

"I go with Maradona for many years, when the peak was in 1986. Argentina came to the World Cup with strong feelings from Falkland and Maradona did not knock anyone's account. He made England happy. He left the world wide open after the goals against England. It was the highlight of his career and also. The highlight of my career as a broadcaster. He's a tragic comedic character. His tragedy is the drug. His body was finished.

"I saw him up close," Arbel recalled.

"He had amazing legs with muscles that do not develop on their own but have never been proven otherwise. Messi with all the talent fails to bring Argentina to where Maradona brought. He is the greatest of all. A footballer of once in 50 years. The game against England was the biggest I broadcast with the changed goal "In the hand and immediately after that it was the biggest goal ever scored. 70 meters sprint and he passed the English one after the other. If I could tell him one last sentence I would say: 'Thank you for the experience and the right to broadcast you'."



At the end, the veteran broadcaster added: "I never got to talk to him and it's a pity. I was told he apologized to the referee for the goal in hand, but I find it hard to believe it. He was not an apologetic guy. He tried to find his way after retiring. He did all sorts of things. Plans "TV, even shot at journalists. Somewhere he was also a brat and a wild man, but he was usually forgiven."
