R.I.P Fidel #Castro!
Maradona, who was in Zagreb to watch his country play the Davis Cup final when the news reached him, spoke to the press in Croatia. According to Maradona, the death of Castro gave him a huge pain as he considered him like his father.“He advised me, spoke to me about drugs, about what he could. He was like my second father. I lived for four years in Cuba. He opened doors for me when clinics in Argentina closed them, because nobody wanted (to deal with) the death of Maradona,”the Argentine soccer legend said.
“I want to thank him for everything,” added a visibly moved Maradona, who has a tattoo of Fidel Castro on his leg.
