In June 1986 Diego Maradona, considered by many to be the greatest
footballer of all time, proudly hoisted the '86 Mexico World
Championship Cup in his hands. Now thirty years on from that
magical game, and after a life in sports marked by controversy,
Maradona tells, for the first time, the untold stories behind that
one-of-a-kind World Cup. Mexico '86 was the pinnacle of Maradona's
career, and in this book he will reveal all about every game, what
happened afterwards in the locker room, the months leading up to
the World Cup, when the team had to go to Mexico City a month early
to avoid the overthrowing of the technical director by the
Argentine president, Alfonsin, the mystery behind 'El Gran Capitan'
Passarella ('78 World Cup Champion), the strategies and tactics
that revolutionised the game, training in a country that was
recovering from an earthquake, the public's hostility, the jerseys
they went out to buy in Mexico City, the meeting in Colombia where
the team really came together, his relationship to drugs: the clean
World Cup, and the best goal in football history. Mexico '86 is
Maradona's World Cup and Maradona is who he is because of that
World Cup. Explosive, gritty and unapologetic, Touched by God will
tell the inside story of one of the greatest football victories of
all time.
