Mad Season - Above (Full Album) Sleepless night... listening to the Mad Season album, I watched on television many of Maradona's goals with Barcelona, Napoli, and his National Team. And I thought back to that time, at the end of the eighties when my Torino was still playing at the Comunale, when I saw Diego play. He did nothing for the whole match; I don't even remember the score of the game; but that doesn't matter. Completely marked out by the defender, perhaps Ferri or Benedetti, disinterested and with little desire to play, as sometimes happened even to him. Then suddenly he lit up; he took the ball at midfield, a deadly feint with his marker who for a few seconds remained "frozen," unable to understand where Diego had disappeared to as he galloped toward our area, under the Curva Maratona. The entire stadium let out a huge "Ohhhh" of approval for his technical gesture, even us Torino fans, momentarily dazzled by his ball control, always and only with the left foot. A few moments, unforgettable for me... Goodbye Diego and thank you today just as then...
