Riquelme quits Argentina and blames Maradona

BUENOS AIRES: Playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme quit the Argentine national side for the second time in three years on Tuesday and blamed coach Diego Maradona for his decision.

"The national team is over for me," the former Barcelona and Villarreal player, now with Boca Juniors, told the Canal 13 television station in an interview. "I'm going to watch the World Cup on the television."

"We don't think the same way. We don't share the same codes of ethics. While he is the coach of the national team, we can't work together."
