Speaking on the radio in Argentina, Diego MARADONA commented about the current situation in the AFA.
MARADONA, spoke about MESSI, the new coach and more. Here’s what he had to say:
“The more we talk about MESSI, the more he goes crazy. Don’t go (talk to him), leave him in peace. No one can make me fight with MESSI. They always try. He and I have cried together.”
“Caruso LOMBARDI… Don’t fuck around with me. Stay in your place, make your money and respect Argentine football. How are we all fighting for SAMPAOLI. We’re all crazy. He’s had a good career but he won on penalties, eh. For me, the best of them all is BIELSA.”
“I’ll see if I can be president of the AFA. I’ll think about it.”
It goes from bad to worse for this team.

Apparently, the thieves entered the rooms, no forced entry.
Jorge SAMPAOLI has finally broken his silence and spoke about coaching the National Team.
In the middle of all the will he or won’t he, SAMPAOLI finally spoke about the situation and the rumors of him coaching the Argentina National Team. Following his team’s 1-0 win against Mainz 05 in Germany, he spoke about it all. Here’s what he had to say:
“I spoke to the president of the Argentine federation and that filled me with joy, it’s my dream to coach the National Team. But dreams don’t always arrive when you want them. Now, my dream is to beat Madrid and Barcelona and to satisfy the fans.”
“I re-iterate, I’ve always said I would like to coach Argentina, it’s my dream, but at this moment, it would be irresponsible of me to leave Sevilla with all the important matches we have ahead of us.”
