Diego Maradona has blasted his compatriot and former player Lionel
Messi on Live TV without knowing he was being recorded, claiming the
Barcelona star lacks the character to be a leader for the national team.
At the "Hublot Loves Football" event in Paris on Thursday,
Brazil legend Pele asked Maradona if he knew Lionel Messi personally,
and Maradona spoke his mind. forgetting he was on live TV.
"He's a really good person, but he has no personality," Maradona said.
"He lacks [the] character to be a leader."
Pele
responded: "Ah, I get it, he's not like we were back in the days. In
the 70s we [Brazil] had really good players like Rivellino, Gerson,
Tostao.
"Not like Argentina now, which depends
only on Messi. He [Maradona] is saying that Messi is a good player,
there's no doubt about it, but he has no personality."

Dat's not true...gerrahie
Maradona always having issues, he can't accept Messi is better than him.
Wonder what he meant by leadership quality, a crack head like him and an arrogant man.

His opinion won't change anything. Linda take note!
Is it him that has the quality to be a leader.

Na dem.sabi
What's the basis. He should leave campaign for Trump abegi. All these old people can smack a better protege ehn.
PEOPLE CHILL, UNDERSTAND HIS DRIFT B4 CRUCIFYING HIM. SOMEBODY CAN BE VERY GOOD BUT NOT A LEADER. MESSI IS NOT AND HAS NO LEADERSHIP PERSONALITY. A LEADER CAN BE HUMBLE LIKE MESSI BUT A LEADER MUST BE WILLING TO GET PEOPLE TO BE RESPONSIVE; SEE POTENTIALS AND KNOW HOW TO GET IT OUT OF PEOPLE FOR THE PURPOSE OF FULFILLING AN OBJECTIVE. MESSI WOULD RATHER GO IT ALONE THAN BOTHER ANYBODY.
Messi is a great player, but not a leader. He lacks the charisma of a leader. I have noticed that he plays very well when playing for great teams that have good leaders and but he can't inspire or coordinate others.
Messi is like the very brilliant student who can't be a good class captain. Respected for his brillance but too soft to lead the class.
Maradonna said the right thing. Messi is no Zidane, Pele or Luis Figo or John Terry. Leadership is an extra quality and not everyone can have it.
No need insulting Maradonna. He didnt insult Messi. He just stated facts. Messi lacks charisma to lead. He is humble but cannot motivate you past what you see him do. He cant bother you and wont want to be bothered too. Many people have that personality, its not a bad thing. Doesnt change or detract from his talent.
Beef! Envy is all I see,Messi is better accept it or Go hug a transformer, Who doesn't know Messi is Humble to d core, a great Leader, Maradona always beefing.
This one na just bad belle... Maradona just accept Messi has become more than what you expected. Simple
A funny world filled with people who are experts at telling you your faults when they are not even able to lead themselves.Trassshhhhhh!
Messi is the best in world and he has quality and charisma to lead any team in the world period. He has captain Argentina and Barcelona is severally without issues OK.
The satanic attack by maradona on messi is one of the lowest maradona has DEGENERATED to. Just because someone has the quiet demeanor and unassuming posture does not mean the person doesn't have the personality of Leadership. If not for Messi's leadership at Barcelona, all the trophies they have won so far would be farfetched. He lead Argentina to Olympic gold and nearly won the world cup for Argentina last time. What more does maradona want from Messi, his blood? Has ronaldo done anything for his Portuguese national team if not for his big ego? Maradona believes big ego is what makes a leader like Donald Trump, he is dead wrong. Everybody is different and Messi is a silent achiever. Go to Hell maradona with your foolish loud mouth like Trump.
Intelligent!
He's speaking the truth. Messi is super talented and can provide inspiration for the rest of the team. But he's never going to be the driving force trying to organize players, screaming at them when they are complacent or organizing the tempo of the play. If I'm wrong then someone should enlighten me.
