Quote:

BUENOS AIRES (ESPNdeportes.com) -- El esperado encuentro entre dos de los ídolos más importantes de la historia del deporte pudo haber sido mucho más jugoso.

Pero si bien la charla entre Diego Armando Maradona y Mike Tyson no dejó demasiada tela para cortar tras los escasos 10 minutos que duró, al menos será recordada por su emotividad.

Quizás haya sido un error pensar en Maradona como un gran entrevistador. Al cabo, sus preguntas no salieron de un molde bastante chato, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta la oportunidad única que representaba tener a Tyson frente a él.

Sin embargo, cuando se junta a dos figuras de esta talla, la magia fluye y habla por sí misma, compensando cualquier otra carencia.

Pasadas las 23.30 horas, vistiendo un sobrio traje negro a rayas y sin corbata, Tyson hizo su aparición en el programa del exitoso ciclo "La Noche del Diez", el programa semanal conducido por Diego, que ayer llegaba al fin de su primera temporada.

El escenario elegido no pudo haber estado más acorde: un estadio Luna Park con casi cinco mil personas, que recibió al ex campeón mundial de los pesados con una cerrada ovación, ante la cual Mike respondió con un tímido gesto de agradecimiento.

En seguida quedó en claro que, pese a los años, el magnetismo sigue intacto. Como durante aquellas caminatas que iban desde el camarín hasta algún cuadrilátero de Las Vegas, un silencio profundo, mezcla de admiración y deslumbramiento, precedió a la aparición de Tyson en Argentina.

Llegó el abrazo con Maradona y comenzó una charla, en la que el estadounidense se mostró nervioso al principio.

Lógicamente, el idioma era un obstáculo difícil de franquear. Pero luego de unos minutos ambos protagonistas de adaptaron al sistema de traducción simultánea y al final de la charla parecían amigos de toda la vida.

"¿Cómo sigue tu vida en este momento?", fue la primera pregunta de Maradona.

"Estoy muy feliz. Mi vida siempre ha sido muy loca, pero estoy feliz. Hoy estuve en el barrio donde naciste (en realidad, estuvo en La Boca) y creo que venimos de lugares parecidos, tenemos mucho en común", respondió Tyson, entre sonrisas.

"No voy a seguir peleando. Es como tu, has jugado por mucho tiempo. Yo he peleado por 26 años y he perdido el deseo. Las peleas no son tan duras, pero los entrenamientos sí lo son. Y si no te entrenas como corresponde, no puedes tener éxito", contó Tyson, reafirmando su intención de permanecer alejado de los cuadriláteros.

"He tenido muchos problemas, pero la verdad es que mi vida ha sido muy divertida. No creo que pueda ser entrenador, no estoy listo para eso. Para enseñar hay que dedicarle mucha energía y yo ahora quiero dedicarme a disfrutar de la vida, de mi familia", agregó "el hombre más malo del Planeta".

Allí, sentados en un improvisado escenario, en el mismo lugar donde se ubica el cuadrilátero por el que pasaron tantas glorias del boxeo mundial, Maradona y Tyson siguieron regalándose elogios.

"Te admiro y te respeto mucho, porque has sido el rey de tu deporte. Por eso estoy tan feliz de estar aquí", le dijo Tyson a Maradona.

"Tyson es una leyenda. Por eso, es el más grande, mi preferido. Por eso te veneramos tanto", retrucó Diego.

Diego siguió indagando sobre la vida de su entrevistado, que respondió fiel a su estilo.

"No soy una mala persona. Simplemente, quiero hacer lo que quiero. No sé, si quiero tener sexo sobre una mesa, lo hago. No sé exactamente lo que quiero hacer con mi vida, es muy confuso todo. Pero sólo sé que me preocupo por la gente que quiero.

"Estoy cansado de que me juzguen todo el tiempo. No sé, a veces quiero fumarme un cigarrillo, por ejemplo, y tengo que estar escondiéndome. Y no me gusta. En este momento sólo quiero hacer lo que me gusta. Con todo respeto, que se vayan todos a la 'mierda'. Yo sólo quiero vivir mi vida", sentenció.

"Lo importante es que la gente como nosotros, que viene de donde venimos, ha luchado mucho para llegar. Y ha tenido que pasar por situaciones humillantes. Pero no han podido matarnos", explicó el estadounidense.

Lo mejor, sin dudas, fue el final. Porque fue allí, sin demasiadas palabras de por medio, cuando dos hombres legendarios dejaron de serlo por un instante, permitiendo que la sencillez supere al personaje.

Fue como un juego de niños, que no miden al otro por sus credenciales, sino por lo que tienen en común, que en este caso es mucho.

Diego le regaló a Tyson una camiseta autografiada de la selección Argentina y pidió una ovación para él. Después de jugar "un cabeza", Tyson retribuyó el gesto enseñándole a pegarle al saco y levantando de cuerpo entero al ex astro del fútbol.

Ese instante, mágico, quedará registrado en la historia como la noche que Maradona y Tyson se dieron cuenta que siempre habían sido amigos.

BUENOS AIRES (ESPNdeportes.com)—The anticipated meeting of the two top sports superstars ever in the history could have been even happier.

Anyway, after the 10 min’s talk between Diego Armando Maradona and Mike Tyson, there were not too many materials to cut down, at least, the talk was full of emotion.

Maybe Maradona is not such a great interviewer as we thought. At the beginning, his questions were not straightforward enough, after all, it’s a unique opportunity that Tyson was brought in front of him!

However, when the two superstars come together, the magic overflows and says for itself, which offsets any other deficiency.

After 23:30 o’clock, Tyson, dressed in a black middle-sized suit without a tie, showed on the popular program “Night of the 10th”, a weekly program conducted by Diego, the program ended its first section yesterday.

The selected scenario couldn’t have been more suitable: a Luna Park stadium with nearly 5,000 people, who acclaimed a mute welcome to the former heavyweight world boxing champion.

Immediately it turned out to be clear that, after all these years, the magnetism remains intact. Through the hike running from side room to any quadrilateral of Las Vegas, a deep silence, mixed up with admiration and daze, preceded to the appearance of Tyson in Argentina.

He embraced with Maradona and began to talk, the US people seemed nervious about that at first.

Naturally, the speech was a dificult obstacle to overcome. But minutes later, the two protagonists become adapted to the simultaneous translation system, they talked like two lifelong friends all through the speech.

”How’s your life going at the moment?” asked Maradona his first question.

“I’m very happy. My life has always been very crazy, but I’m happy. Now I’m on the Border, your birth place (in fact, I’m in La Boca) and I believe that we come from the similar places, we have much in common”, replied Tyson, smiling.

”I won’t fight anymore. Like you, you have played for a long time. I have fight for 26 years and have lost the desire. The boxing is not so boring, but the trainings are so. But without being coached necesarily, you cannot have a success”, told Tyson, restated his intention to keep distance to the quadrilaterals.

”I have had many problems, but it’s true that my life has been very enjoyable. I don’t believe I can become a coach, I’m not smart for that. To teach you have to dedicate a lot of energy and meanwhile I’d like to dedicate myself to enjoying the life, and my family”, he added “the worst man of the Earth”.

There, sitting in an improvised scenario, in the same place where locates the quadrilateral, from which so many world boxing glories pass, Maradona and Tyson paid endless praises.

”I admire you and respect you very much, because you have been the king of your sports. For this, I’m very happy to be here”,Tyson said to Maradona.

”Tyson is a legend. For this, you are the greatest, my favorite. For this, I worship you so much”, said Diego.

Diego continued to ask about the life of the interviewee, who responded frankly in his style.

”I’m not a bad person. I just like to have what I like. I don’t know whether I like having sex on table, though I have. I don’t know what I really like to have with my life, I’m totally confused. But I only know that I’m preoccupied by the people that I like.”

”I’m tired of what judges me all the time. I don’t know, at time I like to smoke a cigarette, for example, and I have to be hiding myself. I don’t like. At the moment I only like to have what I like. With all respect, let everything go to “shit”. I only like to live my life ” he decided.

”The important thing is the people like us, who come from where we come from, have struggled much in order to reach. And I have had to pass by humuliating situations. But they could not kill us ” explicated the American.

The best, undoubtedly, was the end. Because it was there, without many words therein, when two legendary men feel themselves for an instant, letting simplicity overcome character.

It was like a children game, that one not only measure the other by his own standards, but also by what they have in common, that in this case there are many.

Diego gifted to Tyson a T-shirt autographic of Argentina selection and asked for an acclaim for him. After playing “a head”, Tyson returned a gesture instructing him to hit sad bag and raising with full force to the former football superstar.

That magic moment, will leave recorded in the history as the night that Maradona and Tyson noted that they have always been friends.
