More FIFA leaders should be imprisoned: Maradona
Buenos Aires: Argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona said more FIFA leaders should be imprisoned, a media report said.
He also said that FIFA president Joseph Blatter is “corrupt” and UEFA president Michel Platini is “a liar”,
“More FIFA leaders should be imprisoned. I am still supporting the project of Ali Bin Al Hussein, Prince of Jordan, for FIFA transparency,” Xinhua quoted Maradona as saying in an interview with Argentina’s sports daily Ole.
“I have said that someone who is besides a corrupt man as Blatter cannot ignore the situation. Let us remember Platini said he was going to leave the FIFA offices and that he was going to give the votes to Prince Ali. He is a liar,” said Maradona, also former coach of Argentina.
On September 25, the Swiss justice opened an investigation for an alleged “illegal payment” of some two million euros from Blatter to Platini to the detriment of FIFA.
“Now, Swiss justice will investigate him. Platini learned with Blatter. And this is something I will state my opinion until the last day of my life,” added Maradona.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
