- Magico Gonzalez should have stepped on the soccer world with his crazy dribbling and incredible strikes. But he had too many vices to become one of the best footballers of all time.

In an ESPN documentary it was confirmed he didn't drink but liked the night life. He said he played fútbol because he loved playing the sport, he didn't want it to be a job because then it'll take the fun out of the game. He was as humble as can be, would literally give the shirt off his back and shoes away to the needy in Cadiz if he saw someone in need. He is a legend in El Salvador and the people of Cadiz still love and talk about him. Possibly one of the top 5 greatest talents to ever play the game.
As a native salvadorian I know he drank like a true salvadoren, u can't party all night with out alcohol and maybe some sniff 👃👁👁👀🕺💃🕺💃
Bro my dad is from metapan, and he still talks about him to this day it’s crazy
He definitely drank... & admitted it in many interviews.. none the less still one of the greatest to play the game.. if not the best 🙏🙏🙏
A True Legend, not a media made legend.
He drank trust he denied it but he did . So did Maradona
Cadiz wanted to name the stadium after him but he didn't show up to the ceremony.
😭 im telling you, us salvis are different
@@alcapino343 I refuse to blame my lineage on my constant tardiness 😂
@@AnonURnot nah im just telling you we dont give af 😭
Lol
That’s hilarious😂
I definitely believe he was in the top 10 at some point in time. Being recognized by Maradona and taking on teams like Barcelona proved that. Too bad he didn't capitalize on what he could have become. Could have let a massive legacy behind.
Magico used to say that soccer for me is not work, work is doing what you don’t like and I enjoy soccer apart from that he gave money to the poor sometime he gave away shoes and clothes and arrived barefoot and shirtless
I would say every salvadorian want to be like him as soccer player ,amazing driving skills
As a salvadoreño myself I can attest that we live to party and it gets in our way to succes but we still make it. we understand that life needs happyness more than anything is just the environment we grew up in, it should definitely inspire us to seek more.. not to say he was not someone who changed things
thanks for introducing me to this guy. brilliant, exciting player. a fantastic example of The Beautiful Game
0:43 wrong ... that was the second time el Salvador went to a World Cup
He is a humble and a sincere person,others they hide to do the same things that Mago did.thanks
i'm Salvadorian...Mágico GONZALEZ is the Best the best.....
That's second world cup for El Salvador in Spain first was Mexico 70
Great video!
The best player in the world is Salvadoreno 👍
the best footballer of all time and is from country el salvador diego admitted he was superior than him better then messi pele etc what a player
I think maradona meant in skills like for example Ronaldinho but i don’t think mágico Gonzales was effective as the players u mentioned
Sometimes Maradona is too humble
😆 🤣 😂
stop dreaming ... he did not win anything , he did not accomplish anything in soccer. tell me his biggest accomplishment in soccer? now compare it to Maradona's ? Thera are at least 10 players from honduras , 10 players from Costa Rica that were better than him.
The man went to his Hall of Fame with jeans t shirt and no tie.. just like a Rockstar, what a legend.. my dad said when he used to play in Spain he was killing everybody, at that time he was the best player in the world.
Sex drugs n rock n roll
Uno de los. Mejores. .. del mundo
"But at least he had fun".
It was the perfect grand finalle for this natural born talentoso.
You know that cool ass Tio/uncle every family has, that was Mágico.
Magico says I don’t want to do what the coach says because I would stop being me and being someone elsc’s copy he grabbed a genius Jorge Gonzales
EL HOMBRE QUE ENTENDIO QUE LA VIDA NO SOLO ES DISCIPLINA.... SINO TAMBIEN MAGIA
real magician the best footballer of all time
Maradona was Way better
@@Gma00001 Dude don't you hear even Maradona considering him better player more Technical than Diego.
@@edwingonzalez3703
What are you smoking...... Maradona never said this. And actually magico said maradona is the greatest
@@Gma00001 Magico doesn't said that. He don't have a favorite. He has many favorites
Maradonas actually said that he himself is the best ever. Search on UA-cam “Maradona speaks about the best team ever” and go right to the end.. the interviewer asks him “are you the best in history”
Maradona says “absolutely”
First world cup appearance for El Salvador's in 1982? What about Mexico 1970? El Salvador qualified for that event and was placed in groupe 1, with Mexico, Soviet Union and Belgium (and lost all three games, btw)
He didn’t want it to be a job, he also wanted to play where he felt “good and comfortable” and understood the language. Something not mentioned here is that he also left Paris Saint Germaine hanging, contract in hand, he just didn’t go. He was so simple and un attracted to money and fame. What we see is probably glimpse of what this phenom could’ve been if someone had mentored him. He settled for a small warm city, Cadiz, why? Simply because as he said, he just felt comfortable there.
bullshit.... he chocked , he did not have the b..ls to take on the challenges . we as salvadorenos try to make excuses for him but he had great talent but no ambition or b..ls to do it.
@@joseortiz-xi3hmit’s not that he didn’t have the balls, he was not afraid of going pro, he didn’t care for it. He got exactly what he wanted out of life , that’s the most anyone could ask for
he did not drink but only stay awake at nights
Wrong... he partied hard as fuck
Que mágico más humilde y sencillo.
Jorge Gonzalez 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
I got to play football against El Magico one of the times I went to visit my family in El Salvador. This was back in 2003 or 2004. Our little team of friends were going to play against him and his friends or family. We played in La Chapupo Rodriguez (a football place with multiple small pitches) But when we got there he had already played a game so he was really tired. So we played him for about 20 minutes and then he decided to referee the game instead lol It was awesome. Me and my cousins were about 18 or 19 and there we were casually playing with him. It was fun.
Lies.
I wish
El Chapupo, I remember that place, you could see the Estadio Cuscatlan from there.
Used to sell charamuscas as a kid and frescos with my mom back in the early 80s. First we would stop at the cancha (pitch) "El Chirajo" right at the corner (forgot the name of the streets), on one side was the cuartel and the other was a baseball field. Then we would make our way to the Chapupo, where some ladies that were selling wanted to fight my mom. Then we would make our way to the Stadium, walking.
Maybe he was Ronaldinho's Idol
The best player in the world that didn't want to be.
The people's happiness in El SALVADOR before now and forever....the best
El mago el mejor futbolista Del mundo Very humble he loves soccer and he loves his country and Salvador And I know he loves God too grasias mago de ❤ te queremos numero 1 In the world 🌎
Futbolísticamente el mejor en la historia,no se le reconoce,por no jugar en ningún grande,pero fue el mejor
No sé le reconoce por no jugar! Talento lo tenía pero como te van a dar tu lugar si los títulos no te acompañan?
No se le reconoce por bolo
False. El Salvador’s first World Cup appearance was in 1970 after eliminating Honduras.
The narrator doesn’t know what he is talking about and showed him worse than what he really was
Maradona from Argentina Him confessed I'm from the mother Earth planet But magical Gonzalez is coming from other Galaxy
mágico is the Best soccer player in the world ,people talk shit about him wich it's not the truth that he drinks just imagine a drunk playing like he did in a Game scoring and doing the Best Magic in football? Come on...... could you believe it?......
Maradona is the greatest
@@Gma00001 i don't think so!....
@@ivanmenendez2601
Well... Magico was brilliant. But Maradona was from another planet...
@@Gma00001 Maradona said he was from this planeta But mágico was from other galaxy.......
@@ivanmenendez2601
Maradona never said this.
Yo era un niño de rancho en ese tiempo y no ,nunca me dy cuenta , y ahora que vivo aquí en Arlington Texas ya me doy cuenta que si , que lo que Diego Armando Maradona dijo ,pues si ,es la meritota realidad,
Uvo un mal entendido pero si uvieran jugado juntos en el FC Barcelona,.no no quiero ni pensar todo el fútbol y títulos que también Maradona necesitó en este club de España ⚽🏆
The 80s Rocked he would have been a better player for the 2000s which was the turning point of society sucking more & more rap becoming mainstream skinny jeans PC coulture
Correction! He doesn't live girls and drink more than futbol. He. Love both man. You confused the people with that. But he was incredible talented salvadorean in Spain they in cadiz named EL MAGICO that's him. the only one Jorge Gonzales ⚽😄👍
Magico is he perfect example that it is not enough to have been born with and excelsious talent, discipline and temperament have to go along with it to be the version of yourself
Back then there were many players like him, preferring having fun rather than being pros
No just Central America. American continent
I have never heard of this fellow. Had I the ear of hid manager, my advice would have been quite simple. Put some ahem "bodyguards" on his detail. They would make sure no-one bothered him, go with him everywhere, drive him to where he needed to be i.e. training and playing matches with a short, supervised trip to the bar after a match and the odd female visitor to his home every few days. I know how to deal with footballers like this, oh yes.
not a real soccer fan 🤣
@@NR-mx6lc I have seen this work before. You think I jest? Indeed fine fellow, I feel ashamed not to have heard of such a player before. I must make sure no-one has any reason to tell me that I am not a real football fan.
@@MarkMcCombee man i dont give credentials for real fans, but its offensive to say whos whos garrincha? whos enzo? whos kempes? bican? gerd muller? bobby....man im only 32 but im such soccer fan that i really like to know about history who was a great player even in the semi-professional years kubala di estefano...going back to 1900-1940 soccer was a amateur sport and there aren't many videos and data to watch.
If he had discipline... he would have NEVER gifted us the football he did.. he really is what his name says.. MAGIC
@@hits_from_the_bong Douglas, your comment has gave me a lot to think about in the philosophical sense regarding this case.
Better than Pele
El Gigante del futbol, El Magico, Jorge Alberto Gonzalez Barillas, El Mas Grande Del Futbol Mundial!!
El mejor siempre o no
no not really. Top 10 dribbler at some point in his life but nowhere near "best player in the world" let alone comparable to some one like Madarona. The Comparison is interesting because neither played in top teams, but Maradona could make a less than average team be great and led them to titles. This guy could dribble, but did not carry the same "weight" when it came to making a difference in key moments
El salvador was far worse than "average" and Gonzalez boosted them to 2 world cups. at that point you have to give him a top spot in the sport. not only that but maradona even said Gonzalez is just as good if not better
Sounds like he wasn't a slave.
Crack!!!!....
Magico gonzalez el mago Reporters liar hes never drink and drunk liars He played for fun because he loves soccer not for money liars
Thank you! For this add we like it a lot Magico forever the best player in all Salvadorean hearts for sure !♥️🙋♂️
“The ball was his friend”
As a Salvadorian i dislike him because he wasted his gift and he wasted a chance to put Salvador on the map
Your wack
He could have been way bigger and more famous yeah, but he still remains a great player in history , the George Best of the Americas!
he is my uncles uncle
Most of your S```said in this video it's not true. Im Salvadoran like MAGICO GONZALES!!!
your mother is Salvadoran like MAGICO GONZALES
ESPN sport Never confess the real story all the time they big liars
I never new that my country had an actual legend
Dude yesterday leo messi met that player el magico
Only today[13.03. 2024] I know this footballer Magico Gonzalez.
You should get your facts straight. 00:38 "He was the one who qualified El Salvador for the first World Cup in its history". Not true. El Salvador was in the 1970 World Cup tournament.
1982 was second world cup for El Salvador and not the first time, do your homework before spreading misinformation!!!
....decir que el Mago no quiso ser una estrella....es un error del porte de un buque !!! El tipo siempre lo ha sido....(y punto...)
😂😂😂 this guy is crazy. He could be as good as Maradona but he refused to do so. We can see how serious Maradona really was when it came to National team. This Gonzales, well, he never took it serious 😂😂😂😂
Probably he already have a satisfying carrier andcomplete , " but the public think difrents " they want show
Jorge “El Mágico” González el mejor futbolista en la historia del CONCACAF.
Greatest player of all time coming out of CONCACAF.
thats just wrong🤣 it’s hugo sanchez, rafa márquez, or keylor navas
@@cxmxqx FOH 😂🤣
In the Top 5 the most skilled yes no argument there my dude
The magical Gonzalez the best player in the world Maradona soccer player from Argentina says hes the best I think and 10 players in the world hes the best 👌 But reporters all the time a big liar they never Tell the true story Magical the very nice guy a humble man Very unique from the very small country in the planet
I believe if he would’ve applied himself to the game and became the legend Maradona became, fútbol in El Salvador would’ve been better and more kids would’ve been inspired to be like him. Sometimes it takes that one player to inspire and produce other talented players. Nonetheless he was amazing just wished he would’ve done more.
We all do. He had the potential to be one of the absolute greatest to ever play. However I’m not sure how well El Salvador would do Internationally. I believe Magico would win a CONCACAF Championship. But I don’t think he would win a World Cup. I believe Magico would inspire future generations like you said, and maybe one day create a elite level squad that could win a World Title but it’s defiantly a challenge.
This documentary makes him look more like a party animal than a football player. It's biased.
Wow he is talented
Great player wow. But maradona is a trillion times better everybody knows
The nap part XD
I was born in Honduras and that's the most central american moment ever lol
🙌🏽💪🏽🧬🇸🇻🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Mágico helped them go to their second World Cup.
What’s the song name in the background
It’s cause he was Salvadoran 🤣 we be like that smh
When I want to motivate myself I watch his videos and such a talent!
He skipped training for 6 days, well he never needed one I suppose
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 Magico Gonzalez live sleeping
Lol he is overrated he only made 58 goals in his career.
This man waste his career on women and acholó I got no respect for him
They didn't qualify when they beat Mexico 1-0 after that game there's was still 3 more games to play, and México was incapable of winning neither of those 3 games.
El Salvador was favored by Honduras because they tied their game against El Salvador in purpose to favored them and help them qualify , ultimately México didn't qualify for their incompetence but El Salvador qualify because Honduras helped them.
YOU ARE RIGHT MY FRIEND.
Wrong do your research
Esa mamada jajaja ahora resulta que Honduras le ayudo a el salvador México fue incompetente y el salvador tenía una selección de respeto y al mejor jugador del planeta
Have you read Maradona’s autobiography?? You know what they say right? Whatever you say with your mouth you must write it down or it doesn’t count!! Only what you write is valid. If this Jorge González was that good how come that when it was time for Diego to name the 100 best players in his opinion he didn’t mention Jorge González? He put Hugo Sánchez in the 36th position and Beckham #100 where is your magico? Read the book
Is messi present in that list ? That Blud hated leo messi so much
Magico formidabile talento puro
I believe he was the best to ever play the game but was a complete gypsy at hard so to him it was a game not a Job but so can get it the way you move a ball with your hands he did it with his feet it was ridiculous how talented he was .
What I learned from this is he liked to nap
Best in the history without any competitors
This video is lowkey dissing
He was the best
The only dude to come out of our country decide to make us look like total idiots. He’s a legend but he could’ve done so much more… he could’ve opened opportunities for Salvadorian children. Till this day no one takes us serious.
We Salvadorians are simple people nothing wrong with that. A simple life is a happier life.
imagine having a whole country on your sholders, besides that, it seems like he didnt want that kind of responsability
Yeah its kinda entitled to put so much on one person. They must do it themselves by their own wishes
Generalizations are never good!! There are many notable Salvadorenos I have known in medicine and other areas. If you're talking about the "only dude" who came out of the country as a football player, then you may also be wrong because he did not make Salvadoreans look like total idiots as you stated. He is admired and by many all over Latin America and especially in Spain, in Cadiz where he played. Besides, according to people who knew him, he did not drink alcohol, he liked women and to dance. How many professionals don't like women and go dancing? You probably like that too and that does not make you a bad person, or makes your countrymen and women "look like total idiots". El Mago Gonzalez fue el mejor jugador de Centroamerica y uno de los mejores de Latinoamerica sin importar lo que digan los los ardidos ignorantes y no me refiero a vos, me refiero a muchos que ni siquiera lo vieron jugar y solo se dejan llevar por comentarios negativos.
Error, second world cup!
My dad is from el salvador
He's my dads friend
You have to know better
Awesome hidden gem
The GREATEST PLAYER in the entire history of North America / CONCACAF . Hands down NO DOUBT about it .
El Salvador first World Cup was Mexico ‘70 and they lost from Belgium..
Shockingly bad narration and commentary, I could not watch past 53 seconds
A similar great player was Fabián O’Neill, who died today, 12/25/2022.
video salvadoreño como hay algun otro por ahi dando vueltas , haciendose pasar por lengua inglesa y comentarios 99 % de salvadoreños , esta a años luz de distancia de lo que fue el mejor jugador de la historia , Diego Maradona.
Pelé far greater than (Maradrug), Maradona is at Zico, Tostão and Messi's level according to Pelé, all football legends from the past put Pelé as the best footballer of all time. 🇧🇷
What the video says is that he did not took football and training seriously, and If did with his already extraordinary football he could have surpassed Maradona... George Best is another genius who comes to mind when talking about wasted talent. Tremendo ignorante comentando um vídeo em inglês sem nem saber o que está sendo dito.
Buen video en English.la mera verdad,
de la historia Majico, Maradona,. están unos grandes jenios..🤔⚽🏆
Estoy aqui por que Franco Escamilla hablo de el que buena historia !
