Argentine coach Diego Maradona on Friday rated Lionel Messi as the best player in the world, rather than FIFA choice Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Obviously Messi is the best player in the world,” said the 1986 world champion.
“They gave me the accolade as the best when I was 26 – look at Messi’s age (just 21).
“They gave me the golden ball after a lot of time had elapsed. So just think how many Golden Balls Messi can get if he keeps his head down,” said Maradona.
He added that as it is the convention that coaches of national sides do not vote for a compatriot “I voted for Cristiano Ronaldo – we couldn’t vote for Argentines,” explained Maradona.
Ronaldo duly topped the poll last week after his exploits in winning the Champions League and the English Premiership with Manchester United.
In contrast, Messi’s Barcelona under-achieved and ended the campaign empty-handed.
Maradona was speaking after returning from a trip to Europe to check on his squad.
Maradona is totally wrong he needs to shut his mouth and suck it up. He want’s Manchester United’s Carlos Tevez to go to Inter Milan! He should care about his own balls not Messi’s and Tevez’s. Maradona doesn’t know what to do since the world cup 2010 is coming up in a while, so he want’s everyone to go to different clubs because he like’s it. NO! that’s not how the way it goes.! He want’s Messi to go to Inter Milan He want’s Tevez to go to Inter. Now since he’s the head couch of Argentina, stuff in the world cup are going to change! He still want’s Mascherano to leave liverpool and play for AC milan or for AS Roma. But there is one secret behind all of it. He doesn’t want anyone to go to a Argentinean club. he want’s everyone as far away as possible from him. But Messi won’t leave Barcelona,Tevez won’t leave Manchester United for nooooooo freakin possible way. look at Maradona now. he just needs to suck his own balls instead of bossing around who he doesn’t think that they are in the right club. Well, All Maradona fans out there you are totally gay! Maradona is a great big scammer. He was a good [horrible] soccer player, he didn’t even play for good clubs anyway so why even tell them that when he knows what the answer is going to be. Whenever someone listen’s to Maradona everything is just gonna slow down and turn out gayish like it was when Maradona came. When he became the Manager of Argentina it already looked wrong from the beginning i knew that Maradona is worthless person, he shouldn’t even be on this planet.! this will all be proven at the World Cup 2010 Mark my words but Argentina will not get far in this cup. I hope the best for them and i hope that Maradona can find someone who he doesn’t need to boss around with and littererly killing them from the inside of them, Ibrohomavic isn’t bossed arround my his manager, by his friends no he is not and you know why? Maradona isn’t involved in his business.he knows that he is a very good player same thing with Cristiano and Torres. But Cristiano is definatly better then Messi, Messi is just a big hunk of junk and a waste of time. Messi’s salary is low it’s like 1.1 million dollars and Cristiano’s salary is 3.5 million dollars. It’s now about who’s richest and who’s not. It’s about who has more shot power? Cristiano does. Who has more accuracy? Cristiano does. Who has more speed? Cristiano does. Who scores more goals? Cristiano does. So, shouldn’t Messi and Maradona Just step back and think about it. There’s someone who’s better the nme and i have to accept that. Not to prove it in press conference that I am the one who light’s your world. No. It’s not him who you want, it’s Cristiano who you REALLY want. Now, if Cristiano and Messi play on a team together [ which will NEVER happen] they probably not like each other. But not for who they are but for what they are. That is all I have to say about Dipshit Maradona.
