This is old school from coach Maradona. Back in the day we used to call this game 'butts up', where the losing team would have to get in the goal, bend down and stick their butts out, and the other team would take pot shots at the losers from the top of the box. The Argentine players don't hold back either. Looks like their firing the ball at their teammates.
But take a look after the winners shoot, the losers get pretty upset and chase the other players down the field - firing the ball at them.
And this is a pre-World Cup practice, it's a bit risky, you don't want anyone to get hurt. Of course, there are more risks playing in games, and this is all in good fun, and good for the team spirit to have some laughs.
There are a lot of people who are expecting Maradona to fail as a coach. Hopefully he gets the last laugh and raises the World Cup trophy, this team as a manager.
