Maradona likely to become football advisor of China
Rio de Janeiro: Veteran soccer player from Argentina Diego Maradona would likely to accept a position of national football advisor of China.
According to the World Cup winner’s lawyer Matias Morla said that he is in talks with Chinese officials to help promote and develop the game in Asia’s largest country.
The announcement comes less than three months after Maradona’s compatriot, Carlos Tevez, became the world’s highest paid footballer when he joined Shanghai Shenhua.
Taking about his client Morla said, “The same people who took Carlos Tevez to China are very interested in having Diego and we already gave the OK. The meetings are more than advanced.” He added that the 56-year-old would need to quit his current job in Dubai.
He said, “Diego would be in charge of teaching children in the different schools, it is a very important project and that without doubt could mark a before and after in a power like China.”
He added, “Maradona is excited about that possibility but there are steps to follow. First, we have to go to Dubai and raise the situation to see how the contract is terminated and then start closing China. But things are on track and I see them in a very good way.”
In recent time, some of the other high-profile players who would likely to join the Chinese Super League include Brazilians Hulk, Ramires, Paulinho and Oscar.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
