It is not a secret that the Argentine people love football, and it is also not a secret if there is someone who represents this sincerity, enthusiasm and dedication is Diego Armando Maradona, who became a legend when he won the 1986 World Cup in Mexico with his country.
However, 36 years have passed since that victory, and Maradona is already gone, and the person who was supposed to be the heir to his national glory is Lionel Messi, who has already qualified with Argentina for Qatar 2022 in what is believed to be his last chance to win the World Cup.
Where is Maradona's heart?
A large group of Argentina fans have come up with an unusual and perhaps crazy idea, that Messi and his comrades should accompany Maradona's heart - real and not figuratively - to Qatar.
One of these fans says - to a local radio station in the capital, Buenos Aires - that "it was reported that (Maradona)'s heart was in the Public Prosecutor's Office. We have an idea that we want to put publicly and for the Argentine people to express their opinion about it and see if there is a possibility to implement it."
It is known that the "heart" of Maradona is in the possession of the Argentine government and is preserved with liquid formalin, and the proposal is to make the necessary arrangements for coach Lionel Scaloni's team to obtain it and accompany them on their trip to Qatar to participate in the World Cup.
Messi's lucky amulet
The fan explained, "I imagine a procession carrying him, people will accompany the bus, and that the convoy will meet in Ezeiza before taking off... Ugly and incorrect things are said about this idea, such as that they want to steal it .. Why not transfer the heart to the World Cup, which may be the last for Messi? This is a good thing." It brings good luck to our captain."
In the summer of 2021, Messi won the Copa America, which was held in Brazil, his first major title with Argentina.
