Why did his World Cup 2010 squad have no space for freshly appointed Champions League winners Zanetti and Cambiasso? Diego Armando Maradona answers the question asked by La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Neither of them could have made it to the World Cup. I like players who pass the ball forward and know how to play the ball. Cambiasso is a good player tactically, but he is way too slow with the ball. He is one of the players I don’t like, even though he has quality. Zanetti seemed more promising, but I gave him a chance against Paraguay, and he didn’t impress me. That is all I have to say”.
“Milito? He came to the World Cup squad in top form, but when we arrived in South Africa, he wasn’t my first choice in attack”.
In other words, a Maradona who doesn’t let down his reputation as a creator of headlines and a person who is never afraid to speak his mind. Unfortunately for him, and all the Argentinian supporters, Argentina would surely have benefitted from the three Inter players, two of which weren’t even included in the squad.

Maradona is fucking junkie…
Great player ! One of the worst managers ever !!!
oooh ,
he talks like a coach !!!
I love Diego so much but he was stubid because he didn’t call Zanetti and cambiasso.
Diego milito was the number 1 in the farward but it was the right dicision to make milito on the bench after Martin Palermo ???
Maradona is not good coach as we saw what happened in UAE with Al Wasl
Forza milito , cambiasso and Pupi
Maradona is reason why I love football and why I’m Argentina fan from my childhood.
I don’t like his words about Cambiasso especially about Zanetti but he remains big legend and reason I mentioned above.
Forza Inter & vamos Argentina!
Hahaha..argentina’s defense problems could’ve been solved with those 3 players…what a load of crap…
Maradona you’re the flop coach ever.
Anyway Cambiasso and Zanetti are getting too old for the inter squad we need a young & strong players.
We take so long in our rebuilding process.
We still have players like Samuel and Chviu who are useless.
Juve and Milan rebuild their teams alot faster than us.
Roma is the best example their team was just as old as inter. Now they have Strootman, Ljajić, Bradley, Marquinho, Mehdi Benatia, Florenzi, Dodô, Destro. ALL young and strong players
We should learn from them.
I agree with you mate.. But so many old man lover fans who would like to see these old players extend their contract.
mr.diego thats why your one of the worst manager in 20century , I hope you be manager of napoli one day hahaha
Yor a dog maradona
This is the biggest pile of rubbish I’ve ever read. “Milito? He came to the World Cup squad in top form, but when we arrived in South Africa, he wasn’t my first choice in attack”.
– What kind of an explanation is this? He came in top form, but he wasn’t my first choice… any EXPLANATION why? Zanetti didn’t impress him?! Well, we all saw what Argentina did on that World Cup, so… I’m not going to waste any more words on this coke-head.
