Charles Billardthe coach who led the team of which he was captain Diego Maradona to lift the cup at the ’86 World Cup in Mexico, he did not miss a single football match. This is how his eternal collaborator Miguel Lemme had told it and Jorge Bilardo – brother of DT – published the document that certifies it.

On the Twitter account @Bilardoeterno which he controls George Billardis seen at big nose sitting on a sofa in front of the screen showing Lionel Messi kissing the Cup. The detail? Two virgins on the coffee table located between the former DT and the television. The text accompanying the image is eloquent: “They Made Him Happy”.

“Bilardo is watching the games. For cabala, I go on days that are not played. We were having coffee and I said, ‘Carlos, are you happy?’, and he said, ‘Yes, yes. The boys play well”, admitted Lemme weeks ago.

“He was happy, very happy, for the victory against Holland and he told me that he saw this Selection as the one of 1986”, remarked Lemme revealing the clinical eye of the doctor.

In 1986, Bilardo was the strategist who allowed Argentina to add its second star. The first was joined eight years ago by his nemesis César Luis Menotti. Sunday’s, the third, is out of that historic crack and was celebrated by the champions of Argentina 78 and Mexico 86
