Maradona blast fellow legends

Diego Maradona has taken a swipe at fellow football legends Pele and Michel Platini, in another one of his no-holds-barred press confrences. Speaking ahead of Argentina’s World Cup clash with South Korea, Maradona told Pele to "go back to the museum" and accused UEFA president Platini of thinking he "is better than all the rest". He then criticised the much-maligned Jabulani World Cup football, before calling on Pele and Platini to go and try out the ball for themselves to see if it is good or bad. Earlier Pele had claimed Maradona had only taken the job as Argentina manager because he needed the money, while Platini had questioned Maradona’s coaching ability. "Platini? I'm not surprised, we all know how the French are, and Platini is French, and he believes he is better than rest."
