Former soccer player Diego Maradona took responsibility from attacker Lionel Messi for Argentina's 0-3 defeat against Croatia, on the second date of Group D of the World Cup in Russia, while asking fans not to expect the Spanish Barcelona star to "win." a Cup by himself". For Maradona, Messi does not act as a leader on the field despite wearing the captain's ribbon of the Albiceleste team, and against Croatia he "played how he had to play."
"How could he play, (because) it is difficult to solve Binance App Users Data the problems of his teammates, it is a team problem," added Maradona during his program De la mano del ten , which Telesur broadcasts, and whose content was broadcast this Saturday by multi-state television in its social networks.
Maradona's darts were directed at coach Jorge Sampaoli and the president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), Claudio Tapia, since the latter, he assured, "surrounded himself with people who know nothing about football."
