The “Tigre” acknowledged that both Messi, Maradona and Pelé “are at the same height”, but avoided giving a definition. “These players are cracks at any time,” he said.
The eternal – and unfair – comparison between Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona He added another chapter to his endless list to try to determine who was the best player of soccer of history. Now the turn was for Ricardo Garecawho also remarked that you cannot ignore another superstar.
The former Vélez and the selection of Peru, currently without a team, was consulted on the topic in Clank Media and considered that only a third player is located at the same level as the two Argentines: Pelé.
“This kind of players we are talking about is crack at any time. I know that for the European, Messi has no against us the South Americans, that we saw them all, is not so easy”he explained, and clarified that “he would like to be a objective” when giving his verdict, without falling in that “all the past is better.”
For Gareca, “Messi is at that level: next to Maradona, next to Pelé. I would not dare to say that he is the best in history, but it could be quietly. He is there, at the top”he said. While he acknowledged that “Pelé and Maradona were hit too much,” he said that “Messi would have endured because he is brave, he is handsome.”
In that context, the coach said it is difficult for him to choose a favorite. “I am very Maradoneano because I had to see him personally. In the same way as for the boys of the Argentine National Team there is better than Messi, and if you ask Scaloni tells you that he is the best in history,” he compared.
“It could quietly be, but I have more caution because I also saw Maradona and I saw Pelé. There are three monsters. It would be an injustice to say who is better than who”Gareca analyzed. Anyway, he pointed out that the “gambeta” gives the Argentines “an inventiveness, an imprint” different from those of the Brazilian.
“Messi can play against him today as they hit before but, in favor of him, he plays in a very small space, with very staggered brands. Before there there were more spaces, more field of action, no matter how much they hit them,” he concluded.
