Maradona attacks Messi
If in 2005 was delighted with Messi’s performance, "it is my succesor", Diego Maradona changed his opinion later. Angry because Argentina draw 1-1 with Peru in the World Cup 2010 preliminary, Maradona attacked the Barcelona star:"Messi has become individualistic. At the national team he should play more for the team not for him. He begun to believe he is so superior that he forgets about his teammates. He does only what he wants. Like the team is called Deportivo Messi. If he would cooperate with Aguero or Riquelme the national team play would improve. What worries me is that Messi has no strength to finish the matches in force and to change the result," said Diego about Lionel, convinced that "it would have been better if he was better than me." Messi responded to the attack with indifference: "There was nothing wrong. I am accustomed to what Maradona says about me. I will continue to play like before".
Kaka: “I’ll go only if Milan sells me”
The Brazilian midfielder claims that, if it was after him, he will wear the “rossonero” shirt until the end of his career. Wanted several times by Real Madrid and with a bid of 100 million made recently by Chelsea, the best player in the world in 2007 swears fidelity to the “Devil”. “I never asked to leave Milan. The managers of the club always treated me well, the relationship between us is optimal. There may come a day when I will change my opinion, but I do not think it’s possible” claimed Kaka. The conclusion: “I will leave only if Milan will decide to sell me.”
