SANTO ANDRE: Argentina legend Maradona says Germany’s powerful performance in their 4-0 win over Portugal is cause for concern among the other World Cup favourites.
“We saw a devastating Germany, a Germany who roamed around with perfection,” the 1986 World Cup-winner told his Venezuelan television show “De Zurda”.
“They caused a bit of worry with their physical strength.”
Thomas Mueller became the first player to claim a hat-trick at Brazil 2014 as Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal were outclassed after centre-back Pepe’s first-half dismissal in Salvador.
“If Germany keep this rhythm, then they must be taken seriously,” Maradona added.
The Argentina legend has already nicknamed Germany’s hat-trick star Mueller ‘El Flaco’ -- the Skinny One. “He has no muscles, but today he tore them apart,” added Maradona.AFP
