At the Velodrome stadium,
After the defeat of Olympique de Marseille against FC Porto (2-0) Wednesday evening in the Champions League, André Villas Boas returned to the disappearance of Diego Maradona.
“I would like Fifa to withdraw number 10 from all its competitions, it would be the least of things to pay tribute to the best player in all history.
It's an incredible loss for the football world, ”he said.
André Villas Boas confided to have met him only once, an unforgettable moment.
“It was at the Inter Milan training center, we were next to each other once and it's a moment that I will never forget.
But the best memories are his moments of football genius like his warm-up in Naples ”.
A sadness all the greater since FC Porto, the club of the heart of André Villas Boas, lost one of its historic leaders of the Covid, Reinaldo Teles.
A day to forget for the Portuguese coach.
