Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi Can’t Be Compared

DBasia.news – Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi are Argentina’s two superstars. However, according to Diego Simeone the two figures could not be compared to find who is more powerful. According to him, La Pulga and El Diez are two very different figures.

Although trying to be diplomatic, implicitly, Diego Simeone placed Diego Maradona above Lionel Messi. It was reflected in his description of the figure who is now the coach of the Gimnasia La Plata.

“They are really different. One (Messi) is a goal-making machine that has made me suffer a lot in recent years, “Diego Simeone said in an interview with the official AFA website as quoted by Marca.

Meanwhile, regarding Maradona, Diego Simeone explained with a short sentence, “The other (Maradona) is a figure that represents Argentine football.”

Seeing the differences, the Atletico Madrid coach believes Messi and Maradona is able to play together in a team. “At the moment it appears that Messi is more mature, but they can actually play together.”

The impossible, said Simeone, is to combine the two with Cristiano Ronaldo. “Adding Cristiano will be more complicated. There will be holes. I always say, it doesn’t matter if there is one player who doesn’t run. If there are two, it is certainly challenging. If there are three, it’s clearly impossible, “he concluded.

Diego Simeone is fairly lucky. As he knows for certain the greatness of Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi directly. La Pulga, who has strengthened Barcelona so far, is the most serious opponent he has to face with Atletico Madrid.

Meanwhile, Diego Maradona had become Diego Simeone’s teammate. Besides ever working together in the Argentine national team. The two figures had also played together at Sevilla. They both joined Los Nervionenses in the 1992-93 season.
