Champion of 1978 criticizes the Argentine National Team

As being the champion of the 1978 World Cup gives him the credibility to speak about the Argentine National Team. Even more so, in these moments, when the 'Albiceleste' is going through a crisis that exploded with the early elimination from the 2018 Russia World Cup. On this occasion, César Luis Menotti exploded while commenting on topics related to the AFA.

Through an audio leaked by Radio Mitre, César Luis Menotti unleashed all his fury against the leaders of the AFA after finding out that they acquired a training center in Marbella, Spain, to "capture the new Messi".

"When I saw that in the newspaper, I started feeling much worse, my throat hurt. I felt like grabbing a gun and killing them. Why don't they give the money to the lower divisions? It's unbelievable," César Luis Menotti said.

Menotti, clearly upset, continued: "The AFA bought a property in Marbella, when clubs don't have water, but they want 'the Messi's' in Marbella. What are the Argentine talents that are abroad and not here? They spent a fortune and the ones here, they can just deal with it," he said.
