Maradona focused on the present

Diego Maradona wants his Argentina team to stay focused on the job at hand rather than worry about who they may or may not meet later on in the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. The South Americans took a major step towards qualification from Group B with a commanding display against Korea Republic on Thursday as Gonzalo Higuain scored the first hat-trick of the competition in a 4-1 win in Johannesburg.

"We've seen my team play, we have evaluated the players, we've taken a look at what may be in store for us, but we want to concentrate and go on playing this way," said Maradona. "We want to follow this path. We don't want to think so much about possible opponents and other teams we could perhaps meet afterward. I think the competition as such is important and also to have a certain competition amongst the players to see how we work as a team in the World Cup instead of looking at the other teams."

The story is too old to be commented.

Maradona is a way better manager than people thinks. He is different, but respected in the squad¨. He can take Argentina all the way!

He smiles and are happy when they win. But he has no idea of what to do when Argentina struggles. Lets hope they play well, or Maradona will strip himself naked.

But only as a player.He is no coach!

Evrybody says his a bad manager. Why? He is a clown, but so are Mourinho. He qualified Argentina for the World Cup, and are taking them easily to the 16th finals. So who are you to tell he is a bad coach. A coach lives on results. Lets see about Maradona!
