Freiburg (dpa) - Freiburg's coach Christian Streich paid tribute to the Argentine soccer star in the highest tones after the death of Diego Maradona.
“What unites us all is the affection and love for football.
And the love for football equals the love for Diego Armando Maradona, "said the 55-year-old on Thursday," because he is simply a part of this football and embodies what is special about it. "
Maradona also stood for the good and the poor, "what rebels against the rich and corrupt," said the coach of the Bundesliga soccer club SC Freiburg.
Maradona died on Wednesday at the age of 60 at his home in Tigre, north of Buenos Aires.
"It's very, very sad that he died," said Streich.
“But I don't think you can say that he didn't live intensely and that he didn't make countless people incredibly happy with the way he played.
You always had the feeling that he had to entertain everyone. "
