Is Maradona ‘Messing’ with Messi?
By Princy James – June 18th, 2010Email Facebook Twitter Print
The King should be delighted and take pride in his best soldier. But unfortunately this case doesn’t apply for the Argentine squad – where the greatest player in football history and the greatest player of the times come together – Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi.

On field, there are many things that unite both – the talent, the agility, instinct, and how they dribble past the defenders; one can draw lots of parallels here. In fact,we can see a carbon copy of Maradona in Messi. Strange it might seem, but there are more things other than their short stature that unites Messi and Maradona. In 2007, with disbelief in its eyes, the world watched Messi replicating Maradona’s ‘Goal of the Century’ against the Spanish club Getafe. Is it mere co-incidence or a miracle that the touches (13), duration (13 seconds), and the number of opponents (6) were identical to that of Maradona’s?

Watch Messi’s Goal of the century replica



It doesn’t stop here; weeks later, Messi even did a ‘Hand of God’ goal by punching in a score against Espanol.


Messi's and Maradona's 'Hand of God'
Maradona was a genius who failed miserably when it came to handling fame. His best achievements were always overshadowed by a story of deceit. The ‘Hand of God’ and the ‘Goal of the century’ is something that happened back-to-back! Outside court, he always sought wrong solace – drugs, alcohol, etc. Here was an incredibly talented but unsure man always seen fidgeting as if his overactive mind couldn’t be contained in that small body!

Talk about Messi! He is too young for the accolades accorded to him. Still, there is some unusual serenity in this guy that reminds of calm waters with powerful under currents. Aggressiveness takes a positive hue when it comes to Messi. Beyond the angelic face, there is something about him that sends cold shivers down the spine of the opponents. Like Diego, Messi too is hard to be contained, but only on the field.

What do you expect when the ‘best’ meets the ‘best’? Even before the World Cup kicked off, many doubts were raised regarding the Maradona-Messi relationship. In fact the not-so cordial affair had given way to serious apprehensions. Many doubted whether Maradona would be able utilize Messi’s full potential. The fact that Barca’s prolific Messi failed to yield the same with his national team fuelled these fears.

Is Messi considered an outsider in Argentina? Having spent more than a decade in Spain with Barca, he is not held that close to the hearts of Argentines as Maradona. Messi had his reasons – his club ‘Newell’s Old Boys’ wasn’t willing to spend for his medical expenses; Messi had no other option but to switch to Barca which meant cutting his national ties. Messi left his country out of need, not out of greed, and he was denied a chance to become a national hero like Maradona or Eva Peron or Che Guevara! But all these often fall to the deaf ears of the football fanatics of his country. Being not poor is considered a sin by the people there even if there is no logic connection between poverty and virtue; and nor does Messi care to owe an explanation, because Messi rarely talks for himself, and whenever he does, he lets the game do the talking. Virtuosity, not virtue, is what matters most to Messi.

When Argentines failed to rise to the expectations in their opening match, many doubted Maradona’s decision of excluding the ‘passing machine’ Riquelme from his squad. Maradona, they say, makes decisions with his heart not head, something that cannot be applicable in a game where tactics matter equally as talent.

Maradona and Riquelme – who inherited the former’s No 10 shirt at Boca, never saw eye to eye. Their feuds eventually lead to Riquelme’s omission from the World Cup squad; a big loss to the team. Many doubted Javier Mascherano’s calibre to replace Riquelme. But Argentineans’ big win over Korea erases all these doubts and allegations and Maradona is hailed once again, thanks to Messi and Higuan’s effort, and the great teamwork they exhibited.

Selfish player (?), a prodigy worth watching – the same Maradona is behind all these contradictory remarks about Messi. Has it got something to do with envy lying deep down under there? The fear of a new kid taking over his throne? Baseless fear I say, for Argentines’ love for Messi is different from that for Maradona, and Messi is the least desperate to take it over from him. In fact, the comparison is suffocating the kid a lot and it’s a heavy burden for him, by his own admission. In Messi’s own words: “To be the best player in the world, I have to prove it at the World Cup.” This task is shared by both Maradona and Messi alike – both have to lead the nation to victory to prove their worth. It could earn Messi a constant place in the heart of Argentines, a chance of becoming one amongst them.

For Maradona, it will serve to wash away his sins and he will be elated to a new high – someone who took his nation to heights both as a player and a coach. It was pleasing to watch Maradona hugging Messi after their stupendous showdown against the Korean Republic! Let’s hope that he will take it beyond there. It’s up to Maradona now, to cleanse his heart of everything personal, for that’s where Argentina’s fate rests…
