JAKARTA - The Argentine national team will undergo their first World Cup since the death of the legend, Diego Maradona. Even though he is gone, the late Maradona is still in the spirit of Albiceleste.

That was the message from Maradona's former agent, Guillermo Coppola, at CONMEBOL's 'Tree of Dreams' opening in Doha to celebrate the wealth of South American football's legacy.

"This will be the first World Cup where (Maradona) is not physically with us. But Diego will always be with us," said the Coppola as reported by Live Score, Tuesday, November 22.

"The good thing that is most valuable to Diego is football. Not life, which is the most valuable thing that humans have. Not nor freedom (to be able to decide and do anything). Freedom for Diego is ball."

As is known, Maradona died in November 2020. However, the Coppola stated, the legend will always be in football.

"Where the ball rolls there is Diego, don't forget this, when you see the ball rolling, say, there's Diego," he continued.

Lionel Scaloni's team is one of the favorites to win the Qatar World Cup. Argentina will open their campaign in Group C against Saudi Arabia.

Albiceleste will struggle to find the crown of the first World Cup since victory in 1986 when Maradona was still active as a player.
