Mancini’s Tactics Criticised By Maradona

Diego Maradona has stated that he feels that Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini’s defensive tactics threaten to ruin their bid to win the Premier League title.

The Argentina legend has an interest in the Etihad Stadium outfit due to the fact that his son-in-law Sergio Aguero plays at the club, and the South American has given his thoughts on the English top-flight title race.

“My heart says Manchester City, but I believe Mancini with all the players he’s got, is not daring enough,” the Al-Wasl boss told Sport360, translated to English by Mirror Football.

“He’s a bit too defensive. Maybe because he is Italian.

“As an organisation, and with their style of play, I think United are more aggressive. But if I have to support one team, I’ll be a fan for my son-in-law.

“I think today, watching from my home in Dubai, seeing Aguero in Madrid would make for much more interesting matches than Kun Aguero at Manchester City.

“I talked to the president of Atletico Madrid and I told him that Aguero had amazing potential, and that he should surround him with good players so that Atletico could make history with him.

“As you know he did not listen to me. He didn’t listen. He sold Kun and I, as his father-in-law, think he chose well,” he concluded.
