Full steam ahead: Maradona arrives at Argentina's
camp
Unrepentant: Maradona lobbed insults in the
direction of the injured cameraman
Argentina coach Diego Maradona yelled insults at an
injured cameraman after running over him while driving his Mini
into the Argentine Football Association (AFA) training
complex.
'What an a****** you are,' Maradona shouted from the car after
braking. 'How can you put your foot under the wheel, man?'
Paramedics ran to the scene to attend to the cameraman who was
taken away for further treatment.
Local media reported that police from the Ezeiza
district on the outskirts of the city took pictures of the car
which had scratches on the paintwork.
Prosecutor Carlos Hassan took a statement from Maradona inside
the complex and the coach left later by a back exit.
Media were at the gates on Wednesday seeking comments from
Maradona on his choice of players in the 23-man squad for the World
Cup in South Africa starting on June 11 which he handed to the AFA
and was posted later on the organisation's website.
Maradona, who has grown a beard because he was unable
to shave for some time following minor facial surgery after he was
bitten by his dog in March, did not speak.
He has a news conference scheduled for Sunday at 2100GMT ahead
of Monday's friendly against Canada at the River Plate stadium,
Argentina's last warm-up for the finals.
Argentina plan to fly to their World Cup base in Pretoria on May
28. They face Nigeria, South Korea and Greece in Group A.
