 Maradona has always cultivated his relationship with the poor and the oppressed. In Naples he made himself the champion of the backward south of Italy against the rich north (centred in football terms on AC Milan) When Argentina played the Italians in Naples in the semi-final of the 1990 World Cup, Maradona even appealed to Neapolitans to support his team because “What has Italy ever done for you?”

Maradona has incurred the wrath of no less a bigot than the Pope, because every time His Holiness makes a speech about helping the poor, Maradona demands that the Vatican should give them its own vast wealth. And he has often fallen foul of the Argentinian oligarchy. When he arrived in the USA for the World Cup, Maradona said that, first, he was glad to be in a country where they played football with their hands as well as their feet, and second that he had a message for Argentina’s president Carlos Menem: “Instead of swanning around here and boasting to everybody that we are going to win the World Cup, he should think of the poor people at home, on the streets and without jobs….”

“我们”无法赢得世界杯,因为英国队甚至没有资格进入在美国的决赛。于是乎英国的媒体决定重演福克兰战争的辉煌,随之阿根廷队的队长迪耶果·马拉多纳成了头版头条的主角。

马拉多纳在未通过药检后被逐出世界杯。在他的血液中发现有违禁物质麻黄素的迹象。他可能服用了此物来抵抗一种夏季的病毒。也可能为了帮助他在世界杯决赛前尽快减轻体重。可有一点是肯定的,他不会将此药物用在他那十年来使世人痴迷的足球上面。还没有人能发明一种能像马拉多纳那样踢球的药物。如果有,英格兰和苏格兰或许能靠街头药店的帮助而有资格进入决赛了。但英国的媒体对此丝毫不感兴趣。对他们来说把马拉多纳逐出锦标赛就能证明他是个“肮脏、骗人的迪耶果”(想想你说得快的话,听起来就像在说肮脏骗人的拉丁人),并且他们拉出每一个当过英国足球运动员的人,对他落井下石。

加里·莱茵科尔说这是个“甩掉包袱”的事例,而泰里·布切尔声称马拉多纳根本不应允许再参加世界杯,因为他以前吸毒(因为服用可卡因,这是种绝对不会提高你球技的毒品)意味着他给年轻的球迷留下了一个可怕的示范。这倒不像布切尔先生,他在代表英格兰队踢球时在场上用头撞击突尼斯队队员,从而给别人树立了多么好的榜样!

当然,莱茵科尔与布切尔之流所显露的失态,纯粹是出自他们被亵渎的球风,与1986年世界杯四分之一决赛上被马拉多纳打败“无关”, 当时他们是英格兰队队员。在那场比赛中,马拉多纳羞辱了英格兰,不是靠上帝之恩赐,而是靠第二个进球,靠令人眼花缭乱地绕过半数的队员,使英格兰的后卫芬威克斯和布切尔看上去像毫无球艺的饭桶。那次世界杯中莱茵科尔因进六球而赢得金靴奖,可除了他的家乡莱斯特外无人记得其中的任何进球。而马拉多纳在赢得锦标赛的过程中对英格兰和比利时所进的球却将永远留在人闪的脑海中。

自打那时起,英国媒体的这些跃跃试试的猛犬们就在等待复仇的时机,时机一到他们便狠狠地向马拉多纳咬去。马拉多纳足球生涯中大半时间与毒品有染。他必须要靠止痛的可的松来使自己精力充沛,使他能顶住到处都会碰到的类似布切尔给他的那种伤害—包括在阿根廷,西班牙,意大利以及世界杯锦标赛。从没有人对此提出抗议,因为可的松是合法的。实际上与他签约的富人们执意要他服用这种药,因为他们的银行收支绝对与他的良好竞技状态息息相关,哪管可的松会对他的身体将来所产生什么危害。liuxuepaper.com
