Maradona: “If I was Batista, I’d stay at home”

BUENOS AIRES, July 19, 2011
_______________________________________________________
Former Argentina team coach Diego Armando Maradona talked about it after the defeat in America Cup against Uruguay.
He confessed that every time he sees the player entering to the field he feels a lot of pain, “it’s like a knife inside me”.
About the current coach of the national team Sergio Batista he said, “If I was Batista, I stay at home”.
He didn’t blame Lionel Messi about the defeat as he thinks “La Pulga” made his work very well and justified Carlos Tevez’ poor performance with the comings and goings of Batista to call him.
