DIEGO MARADONA blasted US President Donald Trump in dedicating his team’s victory over the weekend to Nicolas Maduro.

The Argentinian football icon, now managing Mexican second division club Dorados, praised Venezuelan President Maduro after his side’s 3-2 victory over Tampico Madero last night.

“I want to dedicate this triumph to Nicolas Maduro and to all Venezuelans who are suffering,” Maradona said. “The sheriffs of the world — who are these Yankees?

“Just because they have the biggest bombs in the world they think are so much more advanced than us. No, they are not.”

Maradona is renowned as one of the greatest players in history and led his country to victory at the 1986 World Cup. He called Maduro a “dear friend” and was a close friend of former Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.

“We don’t buy that ‘chirolita’ they have as president,” added Maradona referring to an Argentine ventriloquist puppet famous in the 1970s that resembles Trump.

Maradona, who has been with Dorados since September 2018, also welcomed the election of socialist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (Amlo) as Mexican president last December, saying: “He finally won the elections in Mexico and the truth is he made us all very happy.”
