Maradona comments: Messi produced magic on the field today

Argentine team started the World Cup 2010 with victory over Nigerian team. Diego Armando Maradona, head coach of Argentine team, commented on this match.

"I really hope that my team will make the most of the support from Argentina's fans, I hope they can make the most of that so they can excel and improve. My players will then have the flavor of winning".

He also said few words about Argentine best player Lionel Messi: "As long as he has fun close to the ball, then we will all be fine. If you take the ball away from him it would be like taking chocolate away from a kid. He produced magic on the field today".

Also, Maradona admitted that the inability to completely break down Nigerian resistence bit worried him and the team, making them nervous: "We missed many opportunities and we are not happy with this. We won all three points, but with so many missed opportunities the opponent still has a chance to score goal and get a draw", said Maradona.

There is never going to be anyone like maradona, everyone wont admit, but they are all watching the world cup especially to see maradona do magic. He will do magic, he came back from DEATH...he is now leading his team at the WORLD CUP, so anyone trying to talk bad about him, try to have a heart attack and nearly died and loose 40KG then work out the heart and lead the nation to World Cup!

Maradona is the best player since Pele. He is a brilliant coach and knows football better than most. That is why Argentina will win the world cup.

" Diego Maradona always has been, is now, and always will be an absolute idiot" But he knows football and obviously the result speaks. More than you can say about some others
