Maradona says Messi is not a leader

Picture source

The Argentine legend who is regarded in many quarters as the greatest player of all time has come again for Leo Messi. He has been on this since we can remember and doesn't seem to let the name rest. It seems he feels threatened by the player who has achieved far more than he has even though Messi has never won anything for his country. It's that particular point that Maradona has been hitting on recently.

He said Messi is not a leader as no leader goes to the toilet 20 times before a match. This is actually to mock the player's nerves which sometimes sees him have vomiting spells before major matches. Remember that Maradona coached Argentina with Messi included in 2010.

He further added that Messi was another player when he played for Argentina and when he plays for Barcelona. Indeed, Messi has lost all the finals he's played in for Argentina, the only stain in an otherwise glorious career.
