#5 Lionel Messi doesn’t have a personality

When a former drug-addict, an assaulter, a cheat, and so on, claims that you don’t have a personality, then you give it as much attention as I do during university lectures: which is nada, zilch.

Diego Maradona is regarded by many as the greatest player of all time. To some, he was a genius, a pure artist with the ball. To some reporters, he is a maniac who tried to shoot them. To most English people, he is a cheat. And to some others, he is a drug addict who ruined his career because of his love for cocaine.

However, what can’t be argued that, as a player, he is one of Argentina’s finest—with only Lionel Messi equaling, if not bettering, him.

And Maradona once lauded the Barcelona forward as his heir apparent, someone who could end up as Argentina’s greatest. Now, however, when it seems like Messi could actually end up as the greatest ever, one can find jealousy in his heart like they once traced cocaine in his system.

Apparently, according to him, Lionel Messi lacks the personality to be captain. Surely, had Lionel Messi sniffed cocaine and shot air-rifles at journalists, instead of evading taxes, Maradona would have considered him a man full of personality and completely fit to be Albiceleste’s captain.
