Clarin.com[/caption] Internet Desk: For many years, members of the campus world champion in Mexico claimed two things: recognition and work in the estate of Ezeiza. The recognition was, is and will be eternal. That team was the best of all celestial and white champions. Because he won a visitor and after an incredible journey. With Maradona at its best and first class performers that appeared when the light of the sun is clouded. Beyond the tactical inventions (the famous patented Bilardo 3-5-2), the team shined Diego and also as a team in every sense. And that is the legacy of the Generation of 86: be the kickoff of the best statistical cycle team, which included five titles (World 86, Copa America 91 and 93 Confederations Cup 92 and Copa Artemio Franchi 93) and a runner-up (Italia 90) in seven years. True, after Bilardo Basile came and rescued only some interpreters of the two World (Ruggeri, Maradona, Caniggia, Goycoechea Islands, Basualdo) in different formations. Instead, when given the opportunity to work in the technical bodies of youth and greater selections, the results were not the best. They did not repeat the feat that made them heroes in the Azteca stadium because they had a project and it was all improvisation. Bilardo was manager in 2010-2014 in a very secondary role. Maradona suffered until the last minute to qualify for the team to South Africa and it was the curse of the quarterfinals by beating hit Germany (4-0). With him was the assistant Enrique Black. Batista and Brown led the Olympic gold team led by Messi and Riquelme in Beijing 2008, but failed in the America's Cup which was played at home. Garre and Olarticoechea (the only one which is still under the command of U-20) never knew shine to the kids.
