Argentina's Lionel Messi is not a player of my calibre says Brazilian legend Pele
The Brazilian legend, Pele, has no doubts over his unconquerable class, saying that superstar of this decade, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, has a lot to prove if the Argentine wants to emulate him.
The 70-year-old living legend, who has huge fan following all over the world, insisted that the little Argentinean must surpass the goal tally that Pele himself set to be acknowledged as the best player of the world.
Despite the Argentine having accomplished numerous milestones in a short career to date, he still has a long way to go, says Pele.
Messi’s profile is impressive, but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858. On the other side,
Messi has bagged only 180 goals and has a long journey ahead of him to match Pele’s exploits.
“Messi better than Pele? To get there he needs to score more than 1283 goals.” Pele was quoted as saying after Santos were crowned Copa Libertadores winners on Wednesday night.
The former Santos player also spoke about the widespread rumours going on about Santos highly talented player, Neymar. Pele believes that a move to Spanish giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid is what he should be targeting. He then took it as an opportunity to hit out at
Messi yet again.
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841].” Pele added.
The down-to-earth Messi, who netted 53 goals in all competitions helping http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 claim UEFA Champions League and La Liga titles, is all set to represent Argentina in the Copa American Cup scheduled to kick-off next month.
