Diego Maradona and his legendary warm-ups

One famous story about Diego Maradona's warm-ups is that he would kick the ball into the air multiple times in a row without trapping it or letting it touch the ground, while still talking to someone. This is "the greatest bit of skill I have ever seen on a football pitch".

I’ve found that in sports, my favorite all-time players were my favorites when I was a kid. So, Maradona is my favorite soccer player!

Good "soccer"

Maradona’s warm-ups weren’t just preparation— they were a performance, an art form, a reminder of his love for the game. 🏆⚽

Diego Maradona was fouled 53 times during the 1986 World Cup, the most ever in a single tournament, showcasing his unmatched threat on the field.
