Posted: Tue Nov 25, 2008 12:16 amI don't doubt he knows his football, back when he was in Spain he had quite an eye for young footballers, if Maradona said this lad is good, he usually turned it to be.
But he's very emotional, and the environment surrounding Argentinian football is very tough, nothing to do with Europe. One could remember the different schools of Bilardistas and Menottistas and how they were antagonical. It's probably one of the countries most difficult to coach: They always expect success and the atmosphere surrounding the football is very hot.
I don't know how Maradona will face the press and the pressure, how will react to criticism and how he'll be able to isolate from criticism and take the best decission.
He has a football mind, tactics can be learned, but you need personality too, and I'm afraid Diego Armando was a man to be in the pitch rather than in the bench. We'll see though !
