A former Barcelona and Argentina Manager Cesar Luis Menotti says Lionel Messi provides more quality to the National team than Diego Maradona did in his time.
Maradona won the World cup with Argentina in 1986, something Messi almost achieved in last year’s World cup in Brazil.
Still, Menotti, who managed Argentina to a World cup triumph in 1978, is sure that the four-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi offers more quality to Argentina than Diego Maradona.
“In the last 20 metres they are similar,” He said.
“Diego’s development was a bit different, with more leadership. Messi’s development was more correct because of the club he was formed in.
“He scores goals that only Diego did.
“Messi gives much more quality, there’s no doubt. And Argentina sometimes help him [show that] and sometimes not.”
