"To lose to Brazil is always ugly. We were veryu00a0 motivated about winning and to move closer towards the World Cup. But now we can't sit back because qualifying will be tough," said Maradona, after the match. He admitted that from now on Argentina will "have to work and to continue things against Paraguay to see if we can claim the three points. "The responsibility is mine. I would never send a player to jail," he emphasised. "I will speak about it with my daughters. I will work hard like crazy. This won't break me," he affirmed, before getting back to the game.u00a0 "To turn around a negative deficit against Brazil is complicated because they have great players. I won't complain about my players, because I threw in everything. "I'm not annoyed, I was very annoyed against Bolivia (a 6-1 defeat in La Paz). I'm calm with the players I have. I didn't like the fact that each time they attacked us, they scored a goal. "We have to keep on working and we have to go to Paraguay to see if we can claim all three points."
