https://www.theguardian.com/football...rgentina-clash Maradona had been impressed by the reception in Australia – so much so that he had promised to ensure their national anthem would not be booed when they got to Buenos Aires, and he was as good as his word. Despite defeat, he had also been impressed by how they had played, and made aware of how little they earned. Earlier that evening Paul Wade and Raúl Blanco were invited on to Argentinian TV. During the show, the phone in the studio rang, Argentina’s captain calling in to congratulate them on how they had played. “Your tears of sadness will be tears of joy someday soon,” he said. Very soon, as it turned out. That night, the Australian players were called down to the hotel lobby. A fleet of taxis were waiting to take them for a night out they would never forget, courtesy of Maradona. So just how good was it? Arnold laughs. “I haven’t got all day,” he says. After all, there’s another game to prepare, another story to write. Argentina again, the country that bring out the best in them. |
