Javier Pastore puts an end to this comparison between Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi in his own way.
Diego Maradona is a magician, a genius. He remains and will remain forever in the hearts of Argentines thanks to his World Cup victory in 1986. After the birth of Messi, he is constantly compared to the Argentine “god”.
Asked regarding the subject in an interview with L’Equipe, Javier Pastore thinks it’s legitimate for Messi to be constantly compared to Maradona.
« It’s normal that we compare him to Maradona, especially following what we’ve seen in recent matches. Messi is a reserved person who always finds the right and measured words. He is a leader on and off the pitch. During the 2010 World Cup, he didn’t talk as much as he does today. He was introverted, shy, even if he still is. He’s a born leader, always has been and always will be because of what he stands for. “, he said.
