Soccer predictions Maradona kissed Federer`s pictures and almost cried when she met him
The late Diego Maradona`s love of tennis was well known. It is no coincidence that after the news of the death of the legendary No10, past and present stars of the tour hurried to express their condolences and to recall their happy moments with El Dies. Among the most touching was his presence in the Davis Cup final in 2016, but this is not the only case in which Maradona is in the stands of a major tournament and meets his favorite in tennis.
Argentine sports photographer Jorge Ferrari gave an interview to Tennisworld USA, in which he told about Maradona`s meeting with Roger Federer at the tournament in Dubai in 2013. Ferrari, who has lived and worked in the Arab country for almost 30 years, said that his famous compatriothe rejoiced as a child in his meeting with the Maestro.
Maradona came to watch Federer, and after the match he asked to meet him, says Ferrari. We went to the locker room and on the way we went through the tunnel of the stadium, where photos of all the champions in the tournament are hung. Diego stopped in front of each picture of Federer and kissed her.
The photographer also said that Maradona repeatedly wanted to meet with Federer and when this finally happened, Don Diego was delighted with the Swiss.
When Federer came to us, Maradona almost cried. He hugged and kissed Roger. He was really impressed with him. I was a little surprised by this. Such behavior would be normal for an ordinary fan, but he was not an ordinary fan. It was Maradona. However, Diego was excited as a small child who sees his idol, says Jorge Ferrari.
After Maradona left this world, Ferrari posted a photo of this match analyzed by
contacts with soccer win on Instagram, accompanied by the text I want to remember him like this - happy as a child and excited by the meeting with his tennis idol. I am happy to have had the opportunity to thank him personally for the fact that his fame has helped me many times, as an Argentine, in difficult situations during my travels over the years. I`m sure many people have told him the same thing, but it doesn`t matter to me. The writer Fontanarosa said about Diego I don`t care what he did with his life, I care what he did with mine. Thanks, D10S.
