Maradona Conflict - River Plate

It all started a few hours before the clash between Argentina and Colombia in the qualifiers for South Africa 2010. At a press conference, Diego, with absolutely right, expressed his displeasure over the pitch at the Monumental.

Maradona, garrulous as ever, complained about the poor state of the field displaying the River Plate stadium. He said things like "the River stadium is a running board" or "the tennis Fiorito (humble neighborhood where Maradona grew up) are better than the River stadium. He added that "if Barcelona is where we play, we pay more to Messi". Also right.

The leadership of River Plate, we agree that it is unable to contradict anyone was offended by the statements of the "Ten" and demanded the Argentine Football Association, to confirm whether it was national coach of psychophysical tests rigor (?) and a public retraction by Maradona, which is not only not happened, but added fuel to the fire.

Now Diego wants the play selection in Rosario, which I think is fair in some ways and also upped the ante. Maradona challenged the leadership of millionaire exams provided Aguilar, president of River, also accessed.

I agree with Diego on the subject state of the field but do not understand what does a psychophysical test with the national team. Someone please explain it to me.
