Former Argentine soccer player Diego Armando Maradona criticized Argentina's technical director, Jorge Sampaoli, after the 1-1 draw between his team and debutants Iceland and pointed out that "playing like this" the coach "cannot return to Argentina."
"I think that Argentina playing like this, Sampaoli cannot return to Argentina. It is a shame not to have a play prepared knowing that the Icelanders were 1 meter 90. We took all the corners to head and we did not make a short play," Maradona said this Saturday in statements to the interstate channel Telesur.
Maradona considered that the tie was Binance App Users Data due to "the lack of work" of the coach who, in his opinion, had no prepared plays and no real evaluation of the rival.

The result of the debut forces the Albiceleste to beat Croatia and Nigeria so as not to see their chances of advancing to the round of 16 so complicated.
