Pele praises Javier Hernandez, reckons he could be the next Lionel Messi
Legendary Brazilian footballer, Pele, has insisted that Manchester United’s Javier Hernandez could be the next http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 in world football. He was talking ahead of UEFA Champions League final showdown between United and Barcelona. The tie is due to be
held on Saturday, May 28, at Wembley Stadium.
Pele added that the Mexican wonder-kid has been in sublime form this season and his ability to score goals could help him achieve some bigger heights. Since joining Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s side in 2010, ‘Chicharito’ has been the centre of attraction for many
football lovers. He has made 42 appearances in his debut season so far and has remarkably bagged 20 goals from those outings, a clear indication of his talent.
Pele further stated, “There is no doubt that Hernandez is a promising player. He is excellent, I have seen some games of his on television and he is a fantastic footballer. He could be the next Messi because he has great talent; he is a big surprise just
as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-c16384 Sanchez was because he is another that scores a lot of goals.”
The Brazilian had some other ideas about the striker when it came to International football. He believed that Messi isn’t as good for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. He thought that the Argentinean is short on intensity and enthusiasm when
he plays for La Albiceleste.
Pele, though, hailed the Mexican youngster, saying that whenever he got a chance to witness the striker playing for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mexico-c2956, he has always impressed.
While talking to a local sports channel, Pele added, "There is a big difference between Barcelona's Messi and Argentina's Messi. When Messi plays in the Seleccion he is not the same player,"
Further voicing his opinion upon the upcoming Champions League final, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pele-c40189 reckoned that the Red Devils stand a good chance this time around. He also hailed United’s effort which has brought them ever closer to their record breaking 19th title.
Both Messi and Hernandez will be locking horns for supremacy on May 28 at Wembley stadium.
