Maradona taunts Schweinsteiger
Posted Friday, July 02, 2010 by PA
Diego Maradona has mocked Bastian Schweinsteiger and accused Germany of nerves ahead of Saturday's World Cup showdown with Argentina.
Schweinsteiger has attacked Argentina's behaviour following the last-eight clash four years ago, when they lost on penalties. The Germany midfielder followed up by accusing the South Americans of whingeing to referees and using provocative tactics to wind their opponents up. And it seems Maradona is happy to snatch at the bait.
In an interview with Fox Sports, the legendary playmaker and current Argentina coach turned directly to the camera and in an imitation German accent said: "What's the matter Schweinsteiger? Are you nervoussh?"
