“Carlos has already received the first dose of the vaccine against the Coronavirus. 10 days ago he went with his daughter Daniela. He was happy, now he is waiting for the second dose and we are going to try to take him to the court ”. Jorge Bilardo, brother of the DT champion with Argentina in Mexico 1986 (and finalist in Italy 90), confirmed the news that made everyone happy. “If it was because of accommodation, Carlos did not get vaccinated, but since he is over 80 years old, he had priority. He did not refuse at all, especially being a doctor. He was happy, I was waiting for her, he always asked for the vaccine, “he continued in dialogue with Super Deportivo Radio (Radio Villa Trinidad) the Doctor’s brother, who is considered a risk factor. He also said that they still do not tell him about Maradona’s death: “If Carlos finds out about the way Diego died, he kills them all. He still doesn’t know that Diego, or Tata Brown, or Sabella died ”.
Jorge Bilardo is the one who keeps informed about the health of the Narigón, who fights against him Hakim-Adams syndrome diagnosed in 2017. It is a degenerative disease that has deteriorated his health since then. Last November, the Estudiantes de La Plata idol left the establishment located in the Almagro area where he was interned. “A month ago we took Carlos out of the clinic and he is at home. There are times when you get a bit lost, change dates, but eat, walk, bathe, there is always a nurse to help you. This changed Carlos’s life, he lived at night. Now he leads a normal life, before he did everything the other way around. Now we can at least visit it, it’s all easier, “he explained in communication with the same program.
As Bilardo watches a lot of football, such is his habit, the family preferred not to inform him of some painful news, such as the death of Diego Maradona, much less the deaths of Oscar Malbernat and the Tata Brown, two historical of Estudiantes de La Plata. “What are we going to tell him for? It’s going to get bad and it’s worse “, argued Jorge, who indicated that Narigón is permanently accompanied by “a nurse who assists him” and who performs “kinesiology work to rehabilitate himself.”
“I can’t tell you that Diego died”, explained as soon as it was learned of Maradona’s death Jorge Bilardo, brother of the former coach, who resides in an apartment in Buenos Aires under the care of a nurse who the family entrusted not to let him watch television. “The nurse already knew that when anything like this happens you have to cut off his television, so they cut off his television, they told him that the cable had been cut”, counted to Radio Province.
“Carlos is fine, watching a Netflix series. He likes Pablo Escobar’s. He lives in an apartment around the corner from the house, we took him out of the clinic where he was hospitalized, because he couldn’t be seen. Instead where is it there is a nurse 24 hours a day, the grandchildren, Gloria (his wife) and the boys can go “he commented.
Although, for the moment, Bilardo has restricted access to television, as the Doctor likes to watch football matches, they are analyzing communicating to him about Maradona’s death. In this point, Oscar Ruggeri and “some boys” from champion team in 1986 will be in charge to do so. “It is something that will be in the media for four, five or twenty days (the news of Maradona’s death) and that complicates because Bilardo watches television and many games. I spoke to Ruggeri and he’s going to hang out with two or three guys to see how it is. Let’s see how he reacts and what happens ”, continued in communication with Sky Sports.
To end, Jorge remarked how important Maradona was in the life of the Bilardo familyHe even remembered the phrase the Doctor used to answer when asked about Diego: “He is the male child that I did not have.”
“Diego was a lot in his life. There was a connection with Coco Villafañe, Claudia’s father. We made the house for him, we furnished it for him. My wife went with Claudia to buy clothes for the girls, and in fact, Claudia went two or three times to see Carlos in this last time ”, revealed Jorge Bilardo weeks ago.
