“Argentina has few possibilities of medals” in other sports, Maradona said Wednesday in San Juan, some 1,000 km from here, where he is scheduled to play a showball match with Chile.

Maradona said he is feeling “great” after he passed “very hard moments” for his addiction to drugs and alcohol.

“I had very hard moments, but now I wake up every morning lucid and am willing to call my daughters. I’m great,” he said.
