Antonio Conte to Chelsea is disgusting – Maradona

 Football legend, Diego Maradona has faulted Antonio Conte’s decision to sign a contract with Chelsea while still working as Italy coach. The Argentine described the move as shameful and disgusting. In an interview with Italian broadcaster Piuenne, the former Racing Club manager said : 
“This story about Conte is shameful. He’s the coach of the Italian national team, which carries incredible prestige in the world, and it’s disgusting that he’s gone and signed a contract with Chelsea. It’s making so many coaches have to do nothing for a year and go without a club because there’s always the same old coaches moving around.”

"Louis Van Gaal is a devil". Maradona

Diego Maradona has branded Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal a devil for his ill-treatment of striker Radamel Falcao.
The Colombian has been benched in the last five matches of the Red Devils and has featured in about 12 games since his move to Old Trafford on a one-year loan deal.
The soccer legend said denying the 29 year- old of playing chances has made it difficult for him to prove his mettle in the club
He told reporters at a press conference held to promote a charity match in Colombia  “Van Gaal is not a cool guy. He is closer to the devil than anything else. The World Cup was great and I think everyone felt Colombian at least for a while, when James or Cuadrado had the ball.

He continued “If Falcao was there, Colombia may be celebrating their first WC glory.

“Falcao was conditioned due to his severe injury. Moving from France to England was tough and he needed to adapt himself.”

MARADONNA SPELLS OUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOURINHO AND GUARDIOLA

Argentine legend and Al Wasl trainer has lauded Real Madrid coach, Jose Mourinho for his club’s performance in the La Liga league, he’s however advised Barcelona to focus on the Champions League rather than La Liga cos the Primera Division is Madrid’s. “I do not think Barcelona will play anything but the Champions League.” He added.
The retired footballer also voiced out the difference between Mourinho and Guardiola.
“I adore Mourinho. As a man, as a trainer and coach and as a psychologist, for me he is the best. Mourinho can turn a coin into a rose and that’s the reason for the big difference on my affection for him. I’m not in love with him or anything, but he is an exceptional guy,”
On the catalan, he claimed “Pep is an excellent man. The fact that he can create something from nothing makes him stand out from other coaches. I know Guardiola very well, but maybe he does not get as much merit because he has impressive players. Let’s not forget though that Pep is very young and has a great career ahead of him.”

Diego Maradona

Though, the Romanian coach referred to Maradona has a person who doesn’t have a clear mind (drawing clues from his history of drug and alcohol abuse), he hasn’t been sanctioned.
Since he arrived Dubai, Maradona has repeatedly criticized referees who he claims were biased against his club.
Carlo Nohra, Chief Executive, Al Ain said his sanction was justified and his actions would no longer be tolerated in the league.

MESSI AND NEYMAR: "PELE TOOK THE WRONG MEDICATION"-MARADONA

A week ago, Brazilian football legend, Edson Arantes Do Nascimento, popularly called Pele stated that Santos striker, Neymar is technically better than Argentina’s Lionel Messi only that the former has a lot to improve if he wants to be considered world best player.
Reacting to that statement, Diego Maradonna, UAE Al Wasl coach who hasn’t been on good terms with Pele declared that the latter must have taken the wrong drugs when he made the statement. Though he acknowledged Neymar is good but he would never be able to match Messi’s records.
His words, “it seems Pele took the wrong medication. Instead of taking his night pill, he took the morning pill. He got confused and didn’t know what he was talking about. I suggest next time that he should take the right pills before making any suggestions and that he should change his doctor.”
