Great post! Magico Gonzalez was idolized by Maradona and they actually got to play in friendlies together for Barcelona in the US in the early 80s. They constantly looked for each other in all the matches....the most skillful two-man game you'll ever see.



there is a video on youtube where diego and jorge play together vs new york.

funny how magico is outshadowing maradona, but maradona seen to get mad and stop passing him the ball and start taking every free kick and asking for the ball more hahaha

jorge was too humle for maradona, that was jorges biggest mistake, he had not desire to be the best or to prove anything, in the other hand, diego being from argentina with italian roots, he wanted to be a world champion, 2 different minds. jorge was all about doing street moves.

i will bring the video when i get a chance so you can look at it, jorge starts taking people over, doing his thing, maradona seens jelous, but they were passing the ball to each other at the begining of the game.

maradona asked for jorge to join barcelona, but from what people said, menotti hated jorge bc jorge was a party animal.

jorge is still loved by his fans as the greatest and most humble soccer player of all time.

anytime i watch the video i wish i could go back in time as a kid and play soccer in the streets, is awesome.

jorge, fat-ronaldo and ronaldinho were probably the most creative players our game ever produced, pure street soccer.

pele and zico are somewhere in there too, zico is by many brazilians the "white" pele.

Club of the century.
