We talk about Lionel Messi and Diego Armando Maradona.

“I saw Maradona, Messi too, what else did Messi have? We did a preseason tour of Asia. It came from Argentina: direct, destroyed, 0 to 0 in the first half, I was in the locker room. The tournament organizer said: Messi plays or we won't pay you," the coach mentioned in the middle of a charity event in Manchester during these days when he has no local competition on his team.

On the other hand, I add “I played the last twenty minutes, 3 to 0 with a hat-trick from Leo. Compared to Maradona, in his epic he will have been the strongest, but after what I saw... I feel sorry for the others , but it is something else Leo”, thus closing his comparison between two of the best footballers in all of history.
