11/9/2008 17:59
Argentine former soccer player Diego Maradona said yesterday that he is
worried about "the negative period" that the Argentine soccer national team is
having, which has lost four matches for the World Cup qualifying
tournament.
Maradona said that Lionel Messi should leave aside his
individualist play to give credit to the team coached by Alfio Basile.
"Messi
sometimes plays for Messi. He forgets about his team. He is Sports Club Messi.
If he played accompanied by (Sergio) Aguero or (Juan Roman) Riquelme he would
have better scores," Maradona said.
In declarations for TV channel Fox
Sports, Maradona said that "I'm concerned for the negative period of the
national team, because we can not close the matches with more pressure and to
revert the history, mainly when we play at home."
Maradona said that "the
games are not won by quantity but knowing how to attack and we must work on
it."
Argentine team would face yesterday's night Peru in Lima, and they seek
to reduce to two points the advantage of five points that Paraguay has over them
and Brazil.
