‘Don’t Aim for the World Cup, Maradona’

Argentina’s performance attracted criticism. It could be because so bad, coach Diego Maradona is better advised not to make the World Cup as a target.

Opinion was made by Cesar Luis Menotti, Argentina coach in 1974-1983.

“Since Marcelo Bielsa no longer be a coach, the situation becomes not good. There are no plans about the development of the team, when disposed of waste, and friendly matches are not used to ripen the team,” Menotti said as quoted by Momento24.com.

The man nicknamed El Flaco refers to the number of players who are called by Maradona to form a team. For about 15 months dealing with ‘Tango Team’, has 100 players who have called by Maradona. If this is coupled with outstanding performance, sure many will understand.

In fact even Argentina struggled to navigate the World Cup 2010 qualifying CONMEBOL zone. Lionel Messi et al. finally managed to escape despite only four positions in the zone, under Brazil, Chile and Paraguay.

It could be because it was so disgusted with the performance of Argentina, Menotti rate that Albiceleste does not need to target pairs champion in South Africa later.

“Maradona, your job is not to bring the world title. Your task is to form a clear concept of the game. When it comes to players, we have quality players and it no doubt.”

The man who led Argentina to the 1978 world champion also criticized the appearance of Lionel Messi, Tim Tango icons.

“Many people are hoping Messi alone can bring victory. However, a victory achieved thanks to the teamwork, not individuals,” Menotti said.

“Messi is a top player. Now we hope to see his appearance for the team,” he concluded.
