Maradona: Goal was a merit to 'Leo' Messi and not a result of my absence
According to press reports, Grondona said the goal was possible just after Maradona had left the stadium.
"After 'Bad Luck' left, we won," said Grondona. In his local TV show "De Zurda", Maradona answered: "I want to tell Grondona that what I have, I earned it with my work, and what he wears FIFA bought it."
Grondona has led AFA since 1979.
Maradona was the coach of Argentina in South Africa 2010, where the team were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Germany with a 4-0 score.
When he left the team, he made harsh criticism against Grondona.
