El Barrilete Cosmico (The Cosmic Kite)
Ahead of the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, Argentinian player Cesar Luis Menotti disagreed with the decision to give Maradona the captaincy ahead of Daniel Passarella.
"Maradona lost his identity some time ago and it's getting worse," Menotti told the press at the time. "If Maradona doesn't stop living like a kite, whether I go or not, he can be the figure of the World Cup."
Maradona, of course, ended up being this figure of the tournament in Mexico and that kite description stuck with him.
