Diego Maradona has slammed the Argentina national team following a harrowing defeat at the hands of Venezuela.
The match got the anticipated hype as it marked the return of Lionel Messi who donned the Argentine jersey for the first time after the World Cup.
But it proved to be a bitter evening for the Barcelona super star as Goals from Salomon Rondon, Jhon Murillo and Josef Martinez inflicted a humiliating loss on the La Albiceleste.
On being asked if he had seen the game the former Napoli star answered, “Argentina? No, I don’t watch horror movies! This is a group of inept players who still lead the national team. Who thought they would beat Venezuela? Who was so crazy to think so? Venezuela is a team that was formed in Argentina they entered through the window, not even through the door. They betrayed and still lie to people constantly.
“So, Argentina won’t win a game, I’m sorry. This team does not deserve the shirt. I am sorry for the Argentine people who still believe in these liars. I’m sorry for the players who have to put their faces. Instead, the leaders should put it, unable to maintain the prestige that I and others have given once. All this makes me sad.”
