Diego maradona
|
After experimenting with over hundred players during world cup qualifying campaign,this is the best that diego maradona could come out with.This so called gala team by maradona himself got beaten badly by the brilliant counter attacking german team.His decision for not bringing javier zanetti and juan roman riquelme to this world cup is fatally proved.With inexperienced nicolas otamendi at the right back badly exposed by the quick german players.Without creativity of juan riquelme,argentina midfield look jaded, lack ideas and creativity.With only javier mascherano as a defensive midfielder protecting the back four,he certainly need support in the defensive area,but with too many attackers in the argentine midfield like maxi rodriguez and di maria,and they already have 3 strikers in messi,tevez and higuain,their midfield was unbalanced,and the germans certainly taking advantage on that.Also, the germans have the solution to shut messi out.During argentina world cup qualifying campaign maradona lose his cool and tell the journalist to KEEP SUCK AND KEEP ON SUCKING IT,also noted that bolivia hammered them 6-1 at la paz which is quite an embarrasment for him.During the 2010 world cup,argentina top the group after beating nigeria 1-0,south korea 4-1,and greece 2-0,at the last 16,they managed to beat mexico 3-1,at the quarters,they been beaten by germany 4-0.After returning home to buenos aires maradona announce his resignation from coaching the team,although most fans and the argentina president cristina fernandez begged him to stay and continue coaching the squad,maradona was already made up his mind and he did resign.
