Buenos Aires: Although Diego Maradona is a great player, Lionel Messi is the best player of all time, Argentina football team coach Lionel Scaloni said.
“If I had to choose between the two, I would choose Messi. “Messi surpassed Maradona in the honor of being the best player of all time,” Scaloni said. Scaloni’s words were in an interview granted to a Spanish radio station on Tuesday.
Argentina were world champions in December after beating France in the final. Before winning the World Cup, Argentina fans placed Maradona above Messi.
“When I became the coach in 2018, the first person I called was Messi. Messi was absent from the team due to the impact of the defeat in the World Cup in Russia. I told him to come back and we are waiting. It happened. “After eight months, Argentina has become a great team,” Scaloni said.
