The silver football legend has again erupted in criticism for national coach “Albileste”.
Argentina reached no more than a draw against Iceland on Saturday in this World's first match for the South American national.
The blame for this failure, Diego Maradona, leaves coach Jorge Sampaoli, who says he doesn't have to go back to Argentina if he goes on with such games.
If Argentina plays like this in other matches, Sampaoli does not have to return to Argentina”, Maradona said.
His tactics were shameful. Even though Iceland's players have an average of six feet [1.90 m] in length, we played ball in the air. We didn't even practice the game on Earth”
I don't blame players. The fault is to prepare and tell the truth they are not prepared at all”, he stressed.
Argentina plays its next match Thursday in front of Croatia.
