BUENOS AIRES， Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- The former coach of Argentina's national soccer team， Diego Maradona， congratulated the team's new coach， Edgardo Bauza， on Wednesday through social networks and reminded that the new coach formed part of the team at the World Cup 1990 held in Italy.
"I want to congratulate 'Paton' ('Big Footed') Bauza， new coach of Argentina. I'll never forget that he was the player 24， of 23 in Italia '90. And he stayed to support the team throughout the WC，" said the former soccer player.
Maradona， who became world champion with the national team at the World Cup 1986 in Mexico， ranked Bauza with the Argentine soccer greats of that time.
Through a comment published on his official Facebook account in Spanish， Italian and English， Maradona said that "we are a generation of players who leave everything for the national team."
Bauza， 58， was appointed as Gerardo Martino's successor on Aug. 1 and he will pick up where Martino left off in the South American qualifiers ahead of the World Cup 2018 in Russia.
As a soccer player， Bauza had a brief career in the national team， where he played in three friendly matches between 1981 and 1990 and he was part of the team， although unused， that came in second place at Italy 1990， under the direction of coach Carlos Bilardo.
Bauza， who will say goodbye to his current club， Brazil's Sao Paulo， gave his first news conference to local media on Wednesday where he commented on star player Lionel Messi's retirement from the national team， among other things.
"I am going to speak about soccer (with Messi). I want to know how he feels， how he felt in that moment when he had to talk and say that phrase. (I want to know) what happened to him for him to come to that conclusion，" Bauza said， according to a report in Brazilian local daily Clarin.
Edgardo Bauza was referring to Messi announcing his retirement from international soccer after Argentina lost to Chile in the 2016 Centennial Copa America final recently played in the United States.
"Those of us who have been soccer players know that frustration can sometimes lead you to make decisions that upset and hurt，" said Argentina's new coach.
"I still can't imagine the team without Messi. We will know more once we talk with him，" added Bauza.
The coach also anticipated that in his first match as coach， goalscorer Gonzalo Higuain， who recently transferred to Italy's Juventus for a figure close to 100 million euros (around 112 million U.S. dollars)， will be included in the team.
Higuain's transfer received strong criticisms from his fans at Italy's Napoli， where he had played since 2013 before recently moving to Juventus ahead of the 2016-2017 season.
WELLINGTON， Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- New Zealand's presumptive next leader on Monday paid tribute to outgoing Prime Minister John Key "as one of New Zealand's greatest leaders."
Key， who announced his decision to step down after eight years as in office earlier in the day， would leave a huge gap， said Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bill English.
"Through good times and bad， his strong leadership has been steadfast and this is a more confident， successful and self-assured country because of his contribution. He has truly made a difference，" English said in a statement.
Key's announcement shocked fellow Members of Parliament of his center-right National Party as much as it did to the rest of the country.
He said his family had made huge sacrifices and he felt it was the right time to go.
The National Party caucus will choose a new leader on Dec. 12 and Key said he would back English if he put himself forward.
English was appointed National Party leader in 2001， but resigned after he led the party to a disastrous election defeat in 2002.
Asked by various news organizations on Monday if he would stand for the leadership， English declined to commit or to rule it out.
Other senior National Party Cabinet ministers being touted as potential contestants include Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce， Climate Change Issues Minister and Associate Finance Minister Paula Bennett， and Police and Corrections Minister Judith Collins.
Political opponents offered mixed views with the leaders of the Labor Party and Green Party praising Key for his service to the country.
"John Key has served New Zealand generously and with dedication，" Labour Party leader Andrew Little said in a statement.
"The Prime Minister has served New Zealand through times of considerable global instability， and will leave politics proud of his achievements."
Green Party co-leader James Shaw said Key should be applauded for his commitment to public service and to New Zealand.
"No matter your political allegiance， you have to respect someone who chooses to make the personal sacrifices required to be our country's Prime Minister，" Shaw said in a statement.
The opposition New Zealand First party was less magnanimous， saying Key's reasons for standing down could not be credible.
"The fact is that the economy is not in the healthy state that the Prime Minister has for so long claimed， and there are other issues which have caused this decision as well，" New Zealand First leader Winston Peters said in a statement.
