Bangladesh cricketers pay glowing tribute to legend Maradona
DHAKA, Nov 26, 2020 (BSS) – Like the whole world, the Bangladesh cricketers
are also shocked at the death of legendary footballer Diego Maradona, who
died of cardiac arrest on Wednesday at the age of 60.
The cricketers expressed their love and respect towards the iconic
footballer, who is considered as the greatest in this planet by many, while
paying tribute.
“Mourning after mourning continues. There was no superstar bigger than you
in my eyes, and never will be,” Former Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Bin
Mortaza wrote in his facebook.
Mashrafe time and again expressed his desire to see Maradona from the
front, but his death now ended all the possibility of meeting.
“In personal life you were the only superstar I ever wanted to see from
the front.”
“The pictures of perfect goals drawn by you or your feet will remain on the
canvas of my mind forever. Stay fine magician on the other side,” he further
wrote.
“The Dribbling Master. Diego Armando Maradona. (RIP)”
Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan said Maradona was the icon of the game
itself.
“There are players who are iconic to each generation and then there are
players who transcend generations and become icons of the game itself,” he
wrote.
“Diego Armando Maradona was a player who personified football. He was as
famous on the pitch as he was infamous off it. He did everything his own way
– right or wrong,” the post added.
“What can’t be denied is his unbelievable talent, football acumen and love
for the game. Football will continue to grow and amaze us because of legends
like him. Rest in peace, Diego!”
Mushfiqur Rahim said Maradona inspired generation, while paying tribute to
the Argentine great.
“A legend who inspired generations. Rest in peace Diego Maradona.”
