Diego Maradona’s death affected everyone in football. A legend of this sport is thus gone and the tributes multiplied for the former Argentinian playmaker. Football stars were no exception, including Didier Drogba, one of the latest, who published a farewell letter to Pibe de Oro, taken up by France Football.
After pointing out the mystical character that Maradona represented for him, the Ivorian came back to his distress at losing him: “It’s crazy, because I only spoke to you for ten seconds and I still have the impression that I know you so well. Now we have to learn to love football without you. It’s like continuing to love life after a loved one is gone. Obviously it is possible, but it will take time. Goodbye Diego, I loved you so much ».
