And as if that were not enough, in his post-match statements he said: When I made the decision (to play for Germany) I knew that there would be 50% of people who would like it and 50% who wouldn’t, but in the end it’s my life. Those who like it, fine, and those who don’t, sorry, as Maradona said: ‘Let them keep sucking it’”.

“Argentina is a very football-loving country, I think they relate to it in that way. They would have been on the same side when they knew that everything was wrong and they didn’t; today the people who are sitting on the couch at home criticize what one achieved, what can I say to them? Do the best for the country and move forward,” said the ex-León.
