Maradona urges Peckerman to play Messi


Diego Maradona is calling on Argentina coach Jose Peckerman to play Lionel Messi today against Serbia & Montenegro.
"He's not just good, he's special," the former golden boy said, "and compared to the rest he's much faster."
But Peckerman countered last night: We're not going to have our progress determined by public opinion or the press.
"If it went badly, the only one to pay the price would be the boy. Because Messi is still only a boy."
