Fernando Redondo Argentina hair controversy

Fernando Redondo is open about the regret of not playing more for Argentina, a gap he traces directly back to Passarella. The core of that conflict wasn't tactics or fitness; it was hair. He challenges the idea that a footballer needs a specific hairstyle to represent a team. While acknowledging that discipline and a tidy image hold importance, Redondo stands firm on his right to wear his hair however he chooses. He insists there was no basis for Passarella's request and states clearly that he told the coach he didn't share that view. Once someone lies publicly like that, working together becomes impossible. Looking back at the situation over time, Redondo speculates Passarella might have felt pressure to call him despite preferring another player type in his position. It seems the hair excuse was just a convenient cover, chosen knowing full well Redondo wouldn't cut it.
