NORWEGIAN FRIEND OF MARADONA: - HAS TWO PERSONALITIES - "DIEGO" AND "MARADON"
Terje Liverød (65) was a Norwegian who knew Diego Maradona best. The ex-agent says the deceased icon had two different personalities.
- I want to call him my friend, says Terje Liverød. He came into contact with Maradona while working for German clubs in South America in the 90s and spending many hours with the legend.
"He had two personalities -" Diego "and" Maradona ", says Liverød, who had a personal touch last year with the Argentine legend.
- "Maradona" is a role he played as a footballer. "Diego" was the one I got to know in a different way. I had the honor of spending a few hours with him where he was a more normal person. He didn't necessarily like the situation he found himself in, but he was dependent on being "Maradona".
