París.- Maradona y Leonardo, el entrenador del Al-Wasl emiratí y el director deportivo del París Saint-Germain, se han enfrascado en un duelo dialéctico a través de los medios de comunicación que comenzó el argentino y que ha respondido, cargado de ironía, el brasileño.
El ex seleccionador albiceleste fue el primer el golpear al criticar el papel de Leonardo al frente del club francés y su trayectoria tras abandonar los campos de fútbol, en declaraciones a una televisión francesa.
“No entiendo a Leonardo. No entendí cuando se fue del Milan al Inter y no sé lo que hace ahora en el PSG. Me pregunto si es jugador, entrenador, agente o mercader de petróleo”, dijo el “pibe de oro” en referencia al papel de Leonadro en el club comprado el pasado verano por un fondo de inversión catarí.
Para Maradona, la carrera de Leonardo “es la prueba de que en el mundo del fútbol cuando sabes hacer lobby, tienes premio”.
Leonardo tardó poco en contestar, a través de otro canal de televisión galo.
“Tiene razón, ni siquiera yo sé bien qué soy”, dijo el brasileño con ironía para enseguida enviar un dardo envenenado al argentino: “Maradona es el segundo, mejor dicho, el tercer mejor jugador de la historia, por detrás de Pelé y de Messi, y es bueno que hable del PSG. Cuanto más se hable del PSG, mejor”.

You are a nonresident Indian (NRI) in Europe and are suddenly homesick.
Would you like to go and see the Bollywood blockbuster ‘Sholay’ for the 17th time? Or may be it is the film ‘1942: A Love Story’ for you? Do you want to listen to some heart-rending Baul music from Bengal? Or do you want to have the feel of a good, old Indian bazaar?
You could do all this and much more in France last month, at the 10-day Indian festival Voyage en Inde (Voyage in India) at St. Die des Vosges, a town 310 miles northeast of Paris. web site indian movies online
The festival, which was scheduled to be inaugurated by French Industry Minister Christian Pierret on the evening of April 21, was to feature a kaleidoscope of events, from screenings of popular Hindi films, music concerts, dances, a sale of Indian handicrafts, Indian food, and debates and discussions on the Indian politics and society.
“The idea is to expose the people of France and specially from smaller towns in far flung areas to Indian culture. People here don’t know India and have often very misplaced ideas about Indian culture,” said French author and Indophile, Anne Klasen, who organized the fair. web site indian movies online
“I wanted them to have another look at India and have another idea about India, instead of the clichs that they have been used to. I did not want to show them misery since I think that they do not need to go so far away to see misery, they can see it right here,” said Klasen.
Klasen says that the festival aimed to show more of popular than elitist aspects of India and that is the reason that she had chosen popular films like ‘Sholay,’ ‘1942: A Love Story,’ ‘Trishul,’ “Yaadon Ki Baraat,’ along with classics like Satyajit Ray’s ‘Ek din Pratidin.’
Klasen said her love for India began in the 1960s while visiting Morocco, where, she saw Ray’s ‘Apu trilogy,’ which tells the story a young village boy called Apu, who goes from the idyllic but impoverished settings of his village to the big, bad urban world.
‘Since then, it had been my dream to visit India. My first visit to India was to Kerala and I was totally taken up by its environment and the people.
I decided to visit India each year. And then that I thought of bringing the popular Indian culture to France,’ said Klasen.
This is the third such festival that has been organized by Klasen. The first two were held in southern France.
Besides entertainment, on the agenda were a series of debates and discussions about India’s political, social and religious aspects.
The subjects included Indian epics like Ramayana, Mahabharata, the caste system and Indian politics as well as the Mughal architecture in India.
