7) Messi has no personality
And this is his most recent display of stupidity. It has been reported that both Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona haven’t spoken to each other since the 2010 World Cup—and the eccentric legend’s comments on Lionel Messi during the Copa America gives us a glaring idea of how matters truly are.
In an event where both Pele and Maradona held hands in a friendly manner—which was a surprise in itself in the first place—he said: “He [Messi] is a really good person, but he has no personality; he lacks the character to be a leader.”
Mind you, these are words from a convicted drug addict and assaulter. The day the world begins to take lessons about personality and character from a person like Maradona, the earth will just bury itself inside out as a result.
