(Diego Maradona against Belgian defenders)
|
Date and Location:
June 13, 1982 at Nou Camp at Barcelona, Spain
Photographer:
Steve Powell, American Photographer
Description:
This photo was taken during the match between Argentina and
Belgium during the 1982 World Cup that Belgium won (1-0). It shows Diego
Maradona going against up to six Belgian defenders.
It was shot with video camera and the still image isolated.
It has been over the years shown to reference the importance of
Maradona and to what lengths the opposition would go to mark against him.
It has been reproduced over the years even on T-Shirts.
In an interview years later, Steve Powell, the photographer in
question admitted that the photograph is somewhat deceptive.
This action was at a free kick (hence the Belgian players in a
line), and Osvaldo Ardiles passed to Maradona and he is about to flick the ball
over.
