Sacchi: "I see very difficult, if not impossible, to compare Maradona to Messi"
Former Real Madrid sporting director and AC Milan manager, Arrigo Sacchi, has given his opinion on the Messi vs. Maradona debate. The legendary manager stated that it is difficult to compare the two players.
Sacchi was questioned by ‘A Bola’ to compare the two players. However, the former manager refused to dive into controversies and praised both individuals.
He said that he finds it very difficult to compare the two players, as they have played with unlike teams with different philosophies in special times of football folklore.
For Sacchi, football is made up of moments. During his heyday Maradona ruled the world and there was no one of his genius.
“I see very difficult, if not impossible, to compare Maradona to Messi at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.”
"Football, like life, is made of moments. At that time, Maradona was the best of all, a player light years ahead of others," he argued.
Comparisons between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi never seem to die and they have picked up pace with the Portuguese adding a new dimension in his playing style.
The former Manchester United winger has improved his playmaking skills and improved his much maligned teamwork.
However, in the eyes of Milan great there is a gulf between the two. He believes that Ronaldo has not evolved as much as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 and thinks that the Portuguese may have lost his enthusiasm.
"Messi is a diamond in its purest form, Cristiano http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 is a great player, but in recent times he has not evolved as much as Messi has,” Sacchi
reflected.
Sacchi also took out time to praise Jose Mourinho. He said that former Porto man is a great coach, with a great character. He added that the Portuguese has a special personality and a compulsive researcher.
In his views, the Portuguese is a man of many talents and he would have been great even if he would have arrived on the footballing arena at any other time.
He highlighted his achievements with Inter Milan, especially his last year at the Italian club. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926.
