Alberto Fernández paid tribute to Diego Maradona on social media this Friday, the second anniversary of his passing. Furthermore, the President used his message to support and hope the national team, which will play a critical match against Mexico on the second date of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.


"We don't know from whatever planet you came, but you earned it: the towns were yours, and you were the town. We know one thing for certain, Diego: you will always be with us. More than ever before, "Fernández remarked on his Twitter account.


The video accompanying the president's speech intersperses pictures of Maradona with those of the current Argentine squad lead by Lionel Messi, who will play a crucial match against Mexico tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. to determine their World Cup survival.


"I won't be able to go out on the field, but my heart is with you, folks." "I swear on my mum," begins Maradona's tale at the start of the visual sequence.


After the goal against the English and the narrative of Victor Hugo Morales, the voice of "10" emerges in his most popular side: "I do not forget the gaucho, the car, or the mud." That would imply forgetting about my nation.


Later, the film displays scenes from the Argentine idol's funeral in Casa Rosada in 2020, as well as the thousands of people that gathered to pay their respects.


At the end, Maradona shouts a goal and the slogan "Diego, eternally in the heart of the people."
