Will Argentina be better off without Riquelme?


No more Riquelme in the National team? Its kind of awkward asking that question. Why? riquelme missed two practices since Maradona started as a coach because of club commitments Boca Juniors. Too often his temperament lets him down. Many feel he is over-sensitive to criticism and it took only a inoffensive comment from Maradona in a television last week to dent his pride.
“We don’t think the same way,” said Riquelme with an expression resembling a sad puppy whose favourite bone has just been taken away.

“We don’t share the same codes of ethics. While he is the coach of the national team, we can’t work together.”

“Sometimes, it seems like I’m a disaster and can’t make a single pass,” he added, referring to criticism of his recent performances with Boca Juniors. some people say that The national team its going to work better without him, because his style as a player is too slow, and plays going backwards isntead of going forward and attack. I think that Riquelme is a great soccer player, his skills are great! in my own opinion he is great, and its sad that a player with that magnitude leaves the Argentina's National team.

Will Argentina do better without him? Let's see...
