Maradona criticises FIFA, former Croatia national team captain

Author: Roberta Mlinarić

ZAGREB, Jan 31 (Hina) - Legendary Argentinian footballer Diego Armando Maradona has lashed out at FIFA leaders, including former Croatian national team captain Zvonimir Boban.

Following a defeat of his Dorados de Sinaola in the Copa MX, Maradona criticised the international federation of national football associations, notably Boban.

During the match, he challenged the rival team Club Atletico Zacatepec's supporters to a fight and started towards them.

Maradona said that even after former FIFA president Sepp Blatter's departure nothing had changed in the umbrella world football organisation.

Gianni Infantino promised a new FIFA but nothing has changed, he said, adding that players such as Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit or himself were still not respected.

In a message to Boban, who has been a special advisor to the FIFA president since May 2016, Maradona said that Boban had accepted all the bad sides of FIFA and challenged him to a fight.

I am no longer a 20-year-old, I am 58 and things like this insult me because I trusted people but I no longer trust them, Maradona said.

A few months ago, Maradona and Boban reportedly had a row in a hotel where numerous football legends were staying.
