Diego Armando Maradona
Diego Armando Maradona was more than critical of those who defend the work of Messi in Argentina. The former footballer and former national team coach, at the facilities of Club Deportivo Riestra in statements collected by Olé: "We have the best in the world, he goes and scores four goals against Real Sociedad and comes here and doesn't touch it. And you say, are you Argentine or Swedish? Those who say 'Messi has to be spoiled, Messi has to be treated like every player who wears the National Team shirt. As the best in the world, for better or for worse. But beware, Messi didn't kill or rape anyone, let's not make it a novel."
Deserved Criticism?
Deserved Criticism?: "Those who criticize to make him improve, fine. But when we conduct a survey to decide whether he should play or not for the National Team, we've gone too far, guys. We already want to change the president. We shouldn't be extremist, but we also shouldn't get used to always being second."
Can Argentina lose against Chile?
Can Argentina lose against Chile? "Are you kidding me, not in a million years (a sport similar to petanque)".
Copa America:
Copa America: "Chile was superior, they had more attitude while some of Argentina were just walking, and I'm not talking about Messi. He is still as phenomenal as always. What Argentina didn't do is attack. We have a team that attacks, but without a plan B."
