I wonder whether he knows about the game on Monday.

 

He will learn a lot more about Jonas and Colo than he will about Masch and Tevez as they are players he probably knows well. It would be an ideal opportunity for him.

 

Is there no way we could contact him through the AFA to highlight this! I know it is short notice as he is probably on the plane by now, but would love to see him at SJP

Diego Maradona claims his 'Hand of God' goal against England will guarantee him a hero's welcome at Hampden next month.

 

The Argentina legend, who yesterday announced he will make his debut as his country's head coach against Scotland on November 19, was the villain of England's 1986 World Cup quarter-final defeat.

 

But he believes his handball goal in that game has made him an idol north of the border.

 

'I'm going to a country where they adore me because of the goal against the English,' Maradona said.

 

'The English and the Scots get on horribly - serious bad blood.

 

'But now we are going to play a game against Scotland, where they are going to treat us well.'

 

Maradona promised to field as strong a line-up as possible at Hampden but revealed he would not try to force Barcelona star Lionel Messi to play the game.

 

Barcelona reportedly have an agreement with the Argentinian Football Association which allows them to refuse to release the player for friendlies.

 

Maradona, who celebrated his 48th birthday yesterday, said: 'We're going to arm a good team with the best we have.

 

'We're not going to step on anybody. Barcelona's president was a gentleman letting Messi play in the Olympics.

 

'Now it's good that Messi wants to play all the games for Argentina.

 

'That has to put him in your hearts.'

 

Meanwhile, Gordon Smith plans to bring Brazil to Scotland if the Tartan Army fill Hampden for the visit of Argentina.

 

Scottish Football Association chief executive Smith helped secure the November 19 glamour friendly against Argentina.

 

There has been a surge of interest in the game since Maradona revealed he is taking over as his country's head coach.

 

But Smith believes playing a home match against five-times world champions Brazil for the first time since 1987 would be an even more mouth-watering prospect.

 

Smith said in the Daily Express: "This Argentina game gives us a chance to test the water and see if there's an appetite for such fixtures.

 

'If the fans respond positively by turning out in large numbers to see Argentina - then my next step is to pull out the stops to try and get Brazil to Hampden.

 

'Argentina is a famous name in football and now with Maradona coming is as coach there is extra spice to the fixture. But Brazil is the number one country in world football because of what they have given the game.

 

'Scotland have had memorable matches against them in the past and to have them come to Hampden would be special.

 

'If the Scotland fans are willing to back the idea then I'll do all that I can to bring Brazil to Glasgow.

 

'I'll have a better indication of how the public feel once we see the overall response to the Argentina match.'

Maradona praises United's Argie duo

 

Nov 2 2008 by Neil Farrington, Sunday Sun

 

FABRICIO COLOCCINI and Jonas Gutierrez tackle Aston Villa tomorrow walking on air — after words of praise from new Argentina coach Diego Maradona.

 

Newcastle’s South American duo have been paid a joint tribute by their new national boss, and promised the chance to become international regulars under his reign.

 

Maradona, who will take charge of his country for the first time against Scotland at Hampden Park on November 19, is already convinced of Coloccini’s credentials.

 

And the Argentinian legend has vowed to give Gutierrez a chance to prove himself against the Scots and in other forthcoming friendlies.

 

“Colo demonstrated his ability at the Olympics in Beijing and could be an international central defender for Argentina for a long time,” said Maradona. “I spent a few days in China with our Olympic team and Coloccini was well established in that group.”

 

Maradona added: “On Jonas, I have to evaluate him more, but the fact he is in England could be a very important help to him.

 

“I have watched him a few times and he is one of the key players that I want to study in the next friendly matches. He is quick, and could be very valuable to the game we want to play.”

 

There are suggestions that Maradona may even be at St James’s Park tomorrow night to run the rule over Coloccini and Gutierrez.

 

Gutierrez has made an incredible journey from paralysed toddler to Premier League star.

 

The Sunday Sun revealed back in July that “Spiderman” overcame paralysis down the left side of his body to secure an unlikely career.

 

And it has given Gutierrez a rare sense of perspective on the privileged lifestyle he now enjoys.

 

“I love the life of being a footballer. I appreciate everything I have. I have come a long way,” he said.

 

Meanwhile, Gutierrez is hoping for an amicable end to the dispute between Newcastle and former club Real Mallorca.

 

Mallorca are claiming £11.75 million in compensation for Gutierrez’s summer move, which he and United claim was a free transfer because he had bought himself out of his contract in Spain.

 

“It is complicated with Real Mallorca,” he said. “I am waiting for Newcastle to sort out the situation.”

Maradona`s preliminary squad vs the sweaties.......no Jonas or Colo but I`m guessing they`ll be added later

 

http://www.supergol.com.ar/2008/10/31/10828.php

 

Colo due to his poor form at Newcastle United had lost his starting role in the Argie side in the last 2 games & was unused sub in both even when one the CB's got taken off early iirc. Saying that the Argie in charge lost/quit his job after those 2 games.
