What we couldn't understand was why Diego Maradona played out star winger at full-back in the World Cup.

It was like playing Wayne Rooney in goal.

Jonás Gutiérrez: “I read the words which he said about me. He told me that he had spoken about me so I looked out for them,” he said.

“For Lionel Messi to say that is great. He had his reasons, he knows that it is difficult for me to come to a different country, especially when the team went down to the Championship.

“Now I want to prepare and fight in the Premier Legaue. I want to do it better that I did the first time.

“Argentina has a lot of quality players so it was not really surprising to be left out of the squad. I just have to fight and do really well for Newcastle to be involved again.

“I felt that I could be in there, but that is football. The new manager wants to look at other things and that is okay.”
