According to Argentine media TyC Sports, retired Argentine star Claudio Caniggia, in a recent interview, once again talked about what happened inside the Argentine national team during the 2018 World Cup in Russia. He criticized the player gang led by Messi and should not treat then-head coach Sampaoli in a forced manner.
"At the World Cup in Russia, Argentina happened that shouldn't have happened. Players shouldn't take the initiative to push the manager and take him to the room and collectively tell him: 'Now we can't play like this, we're going to play our way.' Stay on the bench if you like! It was really crazy that Sampaoli accepted. ”
In addition, the Argentine striker, who was nicknamed the 'Son of the Wind' in the 90s, made a comparison between Messi and Maradona. "Both are great players. In the history of football, the two of them are in the top five of the best players. In terms of leadership alone, there is no doubt that Maradona is the best. ”
