Why didn't Diego Diego Maradona let Riquelme go to the World Cup, just because of personal grievances?

On March 2009 10, Argentine midfielder Riquelme announced his retirement from the national team because of disagreement with Diego Diego Maradona. Riquelme said in an interview with Argentine "Canal 13": "My national team career is over, and I will watch the 20 10 World Cup in front of the TV." Talking about the reasons for quitting the national team, he said: "diego maradona and I have different ideas, and our outlook on life is also different. He became the coach of the national team, but I can't work with him. I am very painful to quit the national team and hope that they will succeed. "

Diego Diego Maradona, head coach of Argentine team, announced the new national team list to prepare for the two World Cup qualifiers on March 28th and April 28th. Riquelme, who had previously announced her retirement from the national team, was not on the list, but was replaced by Danielle Montenegro from the independent team, which meant that the week-long war of words ended in a break between two geniuses. Riquelme, the most talented Argentine midfielder after diego maradona retired, officially made a curtain call.

What ignited the fuse was Ma Lao's criticism of Riquelme in a TV interview on March 5th: "If he always falls behind and only knows how to catch the ball from the defender, or just bypasses Gago and Mascherano in midfield, such Riquelme is useless to me. I need Riquelme to participate in the attack. " Finally, he added, "If you quit the national team, don't come back."

10, Riquelme counterattacked and announced its withdrawal from the Argentine team; "I have my principles, but obviously these principles are not the coach's. I'm glad to wear a blue and white jersey to fight, but we can't work together because of different concepts. It is a great shame for me to miss the 20 10 world cup. I wish this team all the best. "

After being defeated by Riquelme, Ma Lao was very unhappy. At midnight that day, he made a firm statement: "Riquelme was originally on my qualifying list, and now I have completely erased his name! For me, he made a wrong decision and didn't take a step back. "

1 1 In the evening, the old horse relaxed a lot. When talking about Riquelme again, he expressed his willingness to leave a door for him. "If he told me I was wrong, I would be very happy. The national team is neither diego maradona nor Riquelme. "

That evening, Diego Maradona once again accepted an interview with Ole. This time, he took aim at Riquelme's agent, the Frenchman. "Riquelme's press conference is obviously carefully prepared. Someone is behind this, instilling these things into Riquelme. Riquelme didn't say these words himself. I know French. "

However, these proposals did not receive a positive response from Riquelme. "I'm very tired. I wish I could live in peace. My fate is really strange. After an incredible year of 2008, 2009 became like this. "

This is the second time that Riquelme has announced his retirement from the Argentine national team. In September 2006, he left the national team coached by basil after the World Cup, on the grounds that his mother could not stand the sharp criticism from the media. However, in the Copa America in 2007, he returned to the national team and became the core of Argentina's midfield in the Basile era.

Riquelme quit the Argentine team, and it caused a strong shock in the football world in the form of leaving diego maradona. However, only from the importance of the characters involved in the event itself, people did not regret the withdrawal of this master of art. ..

Rest! Due to three confrontations

The break between Diego Diego Maradona and Riquelme has gone through three rounds of language exchange. It is worth noting that these confrontations are all carried out through TV screens, and they don't even communicate face to face.

"I heard on the radio last month that I couldn't be selected for the friendly against France," Riquelme said. He and diego maradona didn't communicate at ordinary times.

Diego maradona said unfairly that he called Riquelme five times and the other party refused to answer. "I called him five times, but he didn't answer. Finally, I left him a message, and he didn't call me back. I once called Demichelis in Germany and he called me back five minutes later. But I didn't wait until noon 12 to hear from Riquelme. I don't know what he is thinking! "

Ma Lao said that in order to team up for the World Cup qualifiers on March 28th and April 28th of 1, he called the players one by one, which was his habit. This kind of communication is very necessary, just like when he visited European clubs at the beginning of his tenure, he would explain his thoughts to the players and listen to their opinions carefully. Riquelme wouldn't have called if he didn't mean to recruit him.

Later, in a TV interview, diego maradona asked Riquelme about his position and playing style. "If Riquelme is healthy, he is still useful to me. My request for Riquelme is that he needs to decide the game within the last 20 meters, which requires him to contact Messi, aguero and Tevez more. " Unexpectedly, it annoyed Riquelme.
