Argentine football legend Diego Maradona shot another episode for his increasingly popular special show on the ongoing Russia 2018 World Cup, “By the Hand of the Ten” on the Venezuelan TV channel Telesur.
This time the 1986 World Cup winning captain talked about the match of Portugal against Morocco last night and the upcoming game of Argentina against Croatia. However, with his own country taking on Croatia in a must-win game today, Maradona, in his discussion with Victor Hugo Morales, observed, “More than anything, Argentina doubts itself. They must get back on track.”

He also added that Croatia, comprising of a slew of formidable players like Mario Mandzukic, Ivan Rakitic and Luka Modric, will be a tough challenge for the Albiceleste and are “quite a strong side.” He also urged the Argentine midfielders have to hold the key if Jorge Sampaoli’s side wants to win the crunch match.
