He will go to Russia in form to be world champion," Maradona said via La Nacion."He has to rely more on boys who can help take the team forward and less on those who say they have to go. "Those who are saying he should quit are doing it so that we won't see what a disaster Argentine football has become."Messi's plan to retire comes as the Argentine Football Association (AFA) implodes. With the AFA's presidential election marred by controversy and uncertainty, Maradona added: "I am very sorry and very angry with what is happening to Argentine football. "We hit bottom, we reached the bottom."</blockquote>
