Diego Maradona`s behaviour after the match against Uruguay topped the headlines for days. Dutch legend Johan Cruijff states that Maradona`s behaviour is out of order.
`I`m glad Argentina managed to qualify for the World Cup but I`m not pleased with national coach Maradona`s behaviour,` Cruijff said in Dutch paper De Telegraaf.
`The way he presented himself towards the press after Uruguay-Argentina is unacceptable. People like him form an example for everyone, especially for the youth.
`Then you can`t behave the way Maradona did.`
Argentina secured a ticket for the World Cup by beating Uruguay (0-1). After the game, Maradona hit out at some journalists.
`The participation of Argentina is good for the World Cup`s impact,` Cruijff said.
`Together with Brazil, England, Germany and Italy the Argentines should always participate in a World Cup, based on historical reasons.
`They managed to qualify right at the end an as a football fan I`m glad they did.`
Thats what soccer is all about. The passion! Maradona was the greatest player of his time and his love and passion for his country can never be questioned. Was it right? Or was it wrong? Who cares, Argentina is in the World Cup.
No, it’s not just about Argentina being at the World Cup finals. Did you watch the post-match press conference? You’d be shocked at the level of profanity in Maradona’s language. E,g.He repeatedly said,”With due respect to the ladies, keep su***** it” (apparently referring to the doubters & non-supportive press). Can Fabio Capello, Guus Hiddink, Dunga, etc use similar language on TV?
Maradona is a disgrace.
Good point Chibueze
When it comes to Maradona, nothing is right.
From the hand of God, to the drugs, to the stupid stuff he is doing.
Especially his colorful language. . .
