Maradona blasts Argentina: This team don't deserve to wear the shirt Argentina Unhappy with latest setback

After Argentina's disappointing defeat to Venezuela in Madrid, legend Diego Maradona came down on hard on many of the people involved.

They were beaten 3-1 by their South American counterparts at the Wanda Metropolitano on Friday night in a friendly fixture.

When asked if he had watched the game, the former Napoli star had a typical Maradona response.

"No I didn't see the Argentina game, I don't watch horror movies," the current Dorados coach stated.

"The inept people who will govern the national team, did they think they were going to beat Venezuela? They are a good team.

"Argentina entered through the window, not even through the door because they betray and lie to people all the time. I'm sorry but they won't win games.

"I feel very Argentine but I feel with other coaches and players like Ruggeri, Batista, Giusti, Pumpido, Caniggia it would be different.

"This team don't deserve the shirt. They don't have a clue and I'm sorry for the people of Argentina who continue to believe these liars and for the players who have to put up with it."

Maradona did have some praise for an Argentine, although it was Tata Martino, who has impressed with his work for Mexico after they beat Chile 3-1.

"I saw a compact team in that game, a Tata team. He is doing well with the players and it was a great performance," he added.

"Scoring three goals against Chile isn't easy. He has a good defence and midfield. I want to congratulate him but have to do so separately."
