Diego Maradona disappointed with Argentina’s defeat to Nigeria
Argentina and football legend, Diego Maradona has expressed his disappointment over the Argentina sqaud as they slipped to a 4-2 defeat to Nigeria.
Having failed to impress in World Cup qualifying, the Albiceleste continued that theme in their latest friendly.
They have Lionel Messi to thank for the fact that they’re going to the tournament at all, but Jorge Sampaoli will still be under heavy scrutiny at Russia 2018.
Ever Banega and Aguero put the hosts 2-0 up, before goals from Kelechi Iheanacho and Brian Oduwu, as well as an Alex Iwobi brace, handed the Super Eagles victory.
Maradona posted on his official Instagram account : ”Who won more? Let’s draw our conclusions. I’m hot because they give away our prestige, but the kids are not to blame. I WANT TO RETURN !!!.
The former Napoli skipper was in the dugout in Nigeria’s 1-0 loss to Argentina in a group match at the 2010 World Cup.
