Argentina coach Diego Maradona has spoken of his sadness after Boca Juniors fans labelled him a traitor. The Los Bosteros faithful turned on their former hero after his recent spat with Juan Roman Riquelme.
Riquelme
quit the Argentina side, claiming 'El Pibe De Oro' was the reason
behind his decision. The playmaker claimed he couldn't get along with
his coach, and was unhappy. This led to uproar at La Bombonera as Boca
fans shunned the legendary striker.
    "It hurt me in the soul that they have branded me a traitor but I can't do anything about it," Maradona told Radio Mitre.
    

    "I don't blame the supporters, they have the right to support whoever they want.

    
    "I can't do absolutely anything about it apart from continuing on my way.

    
    "I've explained that I wanted Riquelme in my team but they have seen it the way they choose to see it."
Maradona
is still a big fan of Boca, and he admits he will not let the recent
fan agression keep him away from the stadium. The faithful displayed
anti-Maradona banners for last Sunday's game with Argentinos Juniors.

    
    "Of course, I'll return. The last thing I would do in my life would be to get angry with the Boca public," added the former Napoli man.
