"What is needed now is a family union and be surrounded by health professionals. He must be rehabilitated, he has enough with his problem, we must give him peace," said the lawyer.

"The hardest moment"

"The good thing is that Diego is whole, he is firm. Maradona has been around for a while," Morla added about his client, who has already been on the brink of death twice because of his addictions.

On this occasion, the hematoma "Diego had perhaps the hardest moment of his life. I think it was a miracle that the stroke on his head that could have taken his life was detected",

The '10' was hospitalized on November 2 for anemia and dehydration, although the following day he was urgently operated on for a subdural hematoma.

During the postoperative period, he went through a withdrawal symptoms attributed to the consumption of alcohol and the medication he uses to fall asleep.
