ARGENTINA coach Diego Maradona added another bizarre episode to his World Cup campaign – by putting on a German accent to taunt his quarter-final opponents.Maradona, considered by many to be the game’s greatest-ever player, was being interviewed about comments made by German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger ahead of Saturday’s match.Schweinsteiger had called Argentina’s players “disrespectful” for their behavior after their last-eight World Cup clash four years ago, when Germany progressed to the semi-finals on penalties.The Bayern Munich star also accused the South Americans of complaining to referees and using provocative tactics to wind-up opponents.Maradona responded Thursday by turning directly to the TV camera and saying, in an imitation German accent: “What’s the matter Schweinsteiger? Are you nervoussh?”
