মারাদোনা অতি মূল্যবান

‘অতি-মূল্যবান’—যা ‘পশ’য়নি

আমি 10টি বছর NBA-এর ভবিষ্যদ্‌দর্শনমূলক মডেলগুলি (predictive models) গড়ছি। সহজভাবেই, ফুটবল-এও, আমি ডেটা-এইচসহগত‍(data over hype)-এ আসকত।

কিন্তু, যখন আমি শুনলাম, “ডিএগউয়াওয়া‘অতি-মূল্‌যবान’,

আমি‌—সঙ্‌গ্‌ভদ?!

ও!​

ওহ!

അখില ഭേദിയാത്ത സ്ഥൈര്യമൊന്നുമില്ല (Even When They Should)

আচ্ছা: কোনও stat line Maradona’ s 50-yard solo run -টা capture करते चला जा सकते हैं?

Hand of God-এ धोखाधड़ी छিল —হয়ত, *but* 2nd goal?

60-yards single run through five defenders? That’s not skill—it’s theater with physics-defying precision.

That match alone: created 7 key chances; completed 92% passes under pressure. Modern midfielders average ~85%.

And this wasn’t isolated—it was a pattern across the whole tournament.

When Talent Outpaces Data (When Stats Can’t Capture Soul)

Some analytics purists say Maradona didn’t ‘deliver’ beyond one year. But ask yourself: how many players have carried a nation through a World Cup like he did?

He scored 5 goals, provided 5 assists in six games. Not just scoring—but creating chaos at will. Against Belgium? Masterclass in tempo and vision. The final loss to West Germany doesn’t diminish it—Argentina survived three knockout games with no backup plan except ‘Diego.’

The level of personal responsibility? Rare even today.

Why People Misjudge Legacy (Spoiler: It’s Emotional)

The truth is: greatness isn’t always quantifiable. Maradona didn’t fit any box. The world stage peak performance under pressure? He stands among the top two or three ever. is there room for debate? Yes. But calling him ‘overrated’ isn’t debate—it’s denial. you can’t watch those clips and say it wasn’t genius-level football executed under extreme duress. sometimes truth lives not in spreadsheets—but in moments so powerful they rewrite perception forever.
