Maradona: Agüero Is A Warrior Diego Maradona discussed his son-in-law Sergio Agüero among other topics in an appearance on the Mañanas Informales show on Argentine television on Tuesday.
The show marked the return of the series following the death of host Jorge Ariel Guinzburg in March, and Maradona admitted that he was sad to have lost a good friend.
"He was the type that always says things up front. A great friend," he reminisced.
Discussion soon turned to football, and the fact that Boca Juniors are on the verge of being knocked out of the Copa Liberatdores at the group stage.
"In Mexico (a 3-1 loss to Atlas) we did not play. We are what we are, that is how it is," he stated, with the host quickly moving onto the next topic to avoid Maradona elaborating further on his frustrations.
Maradona wishes to be part of Argentina's convoy that heads to the Olympic Games in Beijing later his year and thinks he can play a role in motivating their athletes to success.
"I want to live with the athletes day-to-day. I would like to show encouragement to Manu Ginóbili (basketball player)... it is something I had discussed with Jorge in the past," he explained.
Finally, Maradona was asked about his new son-in-law Sergio Agüero.
"I am proud because he is a warrior. I see similarities to me. He is very determined with a lot of desire, which I realized when I went to see him in Spain... against Valencia he scored a golazo," he concluded
