Diego Maradona

was ungovernable and, deeply lonely and depressed, he decided until the last moment of his life what he wanted to do and what not to do.

"There was no medical error from anyone," added

, the neurosurgeon who treated the deceased soccer player, in an intense Sunday that included the raid on his house and his medical office by the justice, which charged him with a "homicide guilty ".

Luque, 39, will be called to testify shortly.

The decision of the San Isidro Prosecutor's Office, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, came after the testimonial statements of three of Maradona's daughters,

,

and

, which lasted from Saturday night until early Sunday morning.

The investigation seeks to determine if there were irregularities in the home entry that Maradona lived

since he left the clinic where he was operated this month.

"The seized medical record is a messy folder with clinical studies, laboratory studies and individual reports from different specialties in a total of about 100 sheets," they told

from the court.

Aware of the complexity of the situation, Luque called a press conference in his own home that at times was dramatic.

"I didn't expect this after how I worked,"

said the doctor.

"I can't even read the things that are said. Let it be said that I wasn't with him I can't even believe it. Diego hated doctors, he hated psychologists. He was genuine with me, because I was different."

Luque, who operated on Maradona for a subdural hematoma on the head on November 11, insisted time and again that he was not the former player's GP, but only his neurosurgeon.

But he admitted, in turn, to having been the person closest to Maradona in recent times, a condition that he tried to take advantage of to persuade him to lead a healthier life and face rehabilitation.

"Diego was very difficult, he kicked me out of the house many times"

"Diego had autonomy, he decided. Diego was very difficult, he kicked me out of the house many times. He kicked me out and called me. I'm a neurosurgeon. A clinician, a gastroenterologist would bring him, he would accompany him to the dentist ...

"he continued.

Following Maradona's death from a heart attack, the debate was sparked in Argentina.

Was the world champion Mexico 86 well cared for?

Maradona had been discharged after the operation and settled in a house in Tigre, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

There he was supervised by a rotating team of nurses, but there was no permanent doctor, no ambulance or defibrillator.

Luque was in charge of emphasizing that to pretend that is not to understand what was happening with Maradona.

"

. On behalf of no one. Diego had a fortuitous event. A heart attack that, in a patient with his characteristics, is the most common thing in the world to die like this Putting in a nurse was all we achieved with Diego's consent. Diego could kick everyone out. "

The Argentine police raided the clinic of Leopoldo Luque, Maradona's doctor.

The doctor, who spoke for 40 minutes lavish in tears, revealed details of what Maradona was like in recent times and his dialogues with him.

"On Thursday I go to see him and what always happened with Diego happened. When Diego gets sick he kicks everyone out. I went into the house, I didn't want to receive anyone.

.

Luque played the dialogue.

- "Luque, leave me alone. Luque, your sister's shell."

- "Diego, give him one more effort, Diego, let's move forward."

"What I did is all too much, it is not that I missed. I was not the head clinician in charge. I was a neurosurgeon and had finished my role. I was not responsible for everything. I am the one who takes him to the clinic. I am a doctor, I am not a police officer, I am not a judge, "continued Luque's account.

"I didn't want to host the daughters!"

"I asked him to get up, to receive the daughters, he did not want to receive the daughters!"

added, while mentioning that the main objective was that Maradona did not get out of control with the consumption of pills and alcohol.

"Diego was very sad. He did not leave the room for three days, then he was sleeping on the

sofa

.

."

Luque said that one day, informed that Maradona did not want to leave his room, he went to visit him at the house.

Again, the dialogue between the two hits.

- "Diego, for me to go, first you

to get out of bed."

- "But Luque,

. I told you to go."

After a while, Maradona saw his doctor eating a cookie and slapped him.

- "This Luque is a son of a bitch, he doesn't even eat in the house ..."

Days later, Luque returned home to remove the stitches from the operation on his head.

Maradona showed all his sarcasm.

"'Ah,

afraid of

me

!'

he told me. And he laughed. "

Luque insisted that he was not Maradona's GP.

"I am responsible for loving him, caring for him, extending his life and improving it. I loved Diego, he was like a father to me. He was my favorite patient. Nothing to hide, nothing. I am proud.

. For Diego I did the best I could. "

According to Luque, Maradona was deeply alone in the final stretch of his life.

"

. I even took him out to kick, he didn't even want to rally. I wanted to bring him to my house one Sunday when I saw him alone, and he didn't want to. That was his life, he missed his parents. we changed life to the last, and he left, he left. Reproach I don't blame myself for anything, I'm proud of what I did. "
