Guus Hiddink reveals his surprising anectode about Maradona

Guus Hiddink, former Dutch national coach and coach of clubs like PSV, Real Madrid and Chelsea tells this beautiful anecdote about Maradona.

“I was going to play for the Australian national team against Uruguay and I didn't want to do the preparation in Montevideo. Then I went to Buenos Aires and established a training camp there. I was having coffee after lunch when someone approached me with a phone. First I fired him because I thought it was a radio show or something like that, but I let myself be persuaded anyway, "Hiddink begins. "When I heard it was Diego, I thought they were cheating on me, but it turned out to be real," adds Guus.

Call in which El Pelusa invited Hiddink to witness a Boca Juniors against River Plate in La Bombonera:

“He asked me to go to Boca Juniors - River Plate, in La Bombonera. What I experienced there… He had his own box there, but without any luxury, everything was very normal. Maradona came out to look over the railing and people immediately burst into tears, there was a standing ovation. It was as if God was looking down ”continues the Dutchman.

“During the game I didn't even have that much time to talk to him. He was very busy with the referee, he was insulting a lot. I was really into the match, "concludes Hiddink.

Hiddink (74) starts a new job: "Consciously not stopped yet"

Guus Hiddink has started his new adventure as national coach of Curaçao since last week. The already 74-year-old trainer realizes that his impressive career will come to an end, but still enjoys the profession too much. "The World Cup in Qatar would be a nice last trick," he told Algemeen Dagblad.

The fact that Hiddink still embarked on such an adventure at the age of 74 raised the necessary eyebrows. "I consciously had not stopped as a trainer. I feel that I still really enjoy being among those guys on the field. That remains the best. As long as I can do that with the body and especially with the head, why would I then? Say goodbye? Because other people think it's time? "

"Look, I am of course not crazy", the trainer continued. "What you have to prevent is that people say: 'There you have it again, the familiar picture is being turned gray again.' I have very carefully put people from my surroundings on it, who will keep an eye on that for me. then you have to stop, but I am not yet a Pompeii, where the ashes have long been covered. When a rondo is played on the training field, I still participate with the left leg. "

Hiddink is ambitious when it comes to his new job. He hopes to be able to reach the World Cup with Curaçao. "That is the goal, we are working on that, but I have to add it right away: it is a long way and certainly not an easy one. To eventually get there, we have to measure ourselves against countries such as Mexico and the United States. But I sometimes think of Leo Beenhakker on these days. He was suddenly at the World Cup in Germany with Trinidad and Tobago, with only captain Dwight Yorke as the big name.
