El Diego participates in another memorable World Cup Argentina training session.

Diego Maradona and his wacky training sessions is the gift that keeps on giving.

Headlines have been made this evening after Lionel Messi was ordered to rest and missed training with the Albiceleste in Pretoria ahead of the quarter-final clash with Germany on Saturday.

'El Diego' has utilised some pretty wacky training techniques over the course of the last week, as yesterday he rolled out the old 'butts up - ready, aim, fire' game, but today the Argentina coach decided to take part in a practice match with a cigar in his mouth.

Footage of Diego Maradona playing in a practice match with a Havana cigar can be seen on the video below.
