‘Diego Maradona’ Trailer Reveals 2 Sides to Legendary Soccer Star (Video)

HBO documentary directed by Asif Kapadia opens in theaters Sept. 20 and airs on HBO Oct. 1

There were two sides to iconic Argentinian soccer player Diego Maradona: the charismatic, fun-loving celebrity Diego, and Maradona, the soccer genius heralded for years as like a God among men.

The new documentary on his life “Diego Maradona” examines that split personality and how the fame of being seen as Godlike can change a humble kid from a poor slum in Buenos Aires.

“Maradona is really a great player, but he’s not psychologically prepared yet,” Pelé says in a clip from the new trailer for the film “With Diego, I would go to the end of the world. With Maradona, I wouldn’t take another step,” another person says in the trailer.
