Maradona has no doubt that Messi is the best in the world and takes the opportunity to lash out at the last words of Pelé.

Diego Armando Maradona is his particular war with Pelé but this time with Messi as the protagonist.

A few days ago the Brazilian star said Neymar was the best in the world saying that if Messi wants to hold that status "you first have to beat him."

Well, when Maradona was asked about Pelé's words, not his tongue and came out in defense of his compatriot: " What nonsense! Neymar may be the best player in the world, but only if he says Messi is from another planet, "added the coach of Al Wasl. (via SPORT)

The Brazilian Pelé is obsessed with belittling the achievements of Leo Messi, who does not consider the best ever since he believes that it still has to overcome to Neymar.

"He's a star, fine. But for Messi to be the best of all, you must first achieve better than Neymar" said legendary ex player Brazilian, who still had more words about the '10 'azulgrana. "The only thing that exceeds Messi to Neymar is that is more experienced," said three-time world champion.

Undoubtedly, some statements in addition to those made in recent months by Pelé, bent on putting the same level Neymar that the player Argentina. Something that, without belittling the Santos, is far from reality. (via SPORT)

Pelé, the Brazilian living legend, praises Barça’s play style and places the Catalan Club alongside the best teams in the history of the sport.

Edson Arantes de Nascimento ‘Pelé’ talked about Guardiola’s Barça in an interview with FIFA. The Brazilian places the Catalan side amongst the best teams in the history of the sport: “I’ve been watching this Barça side a lot lately and they’re like Santos were in my heyday, or the great Benfica, Ajax, AC Milan and Real Madrid sides. They all set the standard in their day.”

O Rei Pelé is clear: “the key to their success was the fact they had settled line-ups over a long period of time. Don’t forget that Barça is the core of the Spanish team. There’s a connection there, just as there was between Ajax and the Dutch national team all those years ago and between Santos and Brazil.”

Just in case there were any doubts about Pelé’s preferred style of play, the Brazil legend said: “this is the football people want to see and I really hope it’s the blueprint for the future. I really hope skill wins out over strength. Look at Germany. They play a much more technical game today, and that’s the football we want to see. We want to see the ball moving, not the players, and you only get that with teams that are really well organised. That’s they way Barça play today an that’s the way my Santos played. I was very lucky.”(via FCBarcelona.com)

"If you're a doll cake, you only for the prizes, do not work 20 years ago and want to be political when you stick a bowling (kick) in the ortho (ass) you fall into the FIFA ..." said coach Argentina on Pelé.

Maradona also said he believes he will be coach 'Boca Juniors' when "all this is over," meaning that his country would "shut the door in an incredible way."

"It's nothing new. It was known long ago that the non traded (pacta) with leaders or presidents, is not in the clubs. They know everyone and make the jerks (fools). Why I say that I am an exile sports. I will earn my money where I want, "he said.

However, not lost hope of replacing the current coach of Boca, Julio Falcioni, who won the title in the last tournament of Argentine football. "I think when all this is over I will lead Boca. When you pass it to Dubai, where love ends when you pass Falcioni and leaders who do not understand anything of what a soccer ball," said the former coach of the selection statements from Dubai.
