BERNE: Argentina coach Diego Maradona has not had time to leave his mark on his team, the former World Cup winner said on Monday.

"It's totally unfair to expect to see the Maradona style when I only get the guys together two days before each game," he told the website of soccer's governing body FIFA (www.fifa.com).

"You have to make the most of what you have, and do and undo things in three days flat. The players travel a long way and they need time to relax and stretch their legs.
