Shortly after he established himself as the best player of his time making the World Cup in Mexico '86 and proclaiming league champion twice Napoli. But that day 1984 the '10' was sincere: “What if I am the best in the world?”? One is better than me, “He plays for Cádiz”.
The best player in the world was Magico
With this answer, Maradona made clear reference to Magico Gonzalez. El Salvador was one of the great innate talent that has given football over the years but never reached their full potential. His career developed in 'his' Cádiz a brief spell Real Valladolid, where he played one season, and one even shorter by the FC Barcelona where precisely it coincided with Maradona.
