Mourinho: "Messi is not the best of all time"

In statements conceded to the portal "Yahoo!" and collected by the daily "ACE", José Mourinho has ensured that the big star of the selection of Argentina and of the FC Barcelona, Leo Messi, "is a fantastic player" but "is not the best of all time", win or no the World-wide of Brazil 2014. "It is not the best player of all time. It is a fantastic player, but there have been better footballers that he, in my opinion", has signalled the Portuguese.

"Messi does not need to win the World-wide to be recognised like a historical player, but although it won it think that there has been better players along the history. Maradona, Peeled, Gave Stéfano. All they were very big". Mourinho, besides, has spoken on the final of the World-wide between Argentina and Germany, hinting that the germanos are favourite. "His superiority is in the centre of the field. They joint to Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Khedira, and besides Müller and Özil act also almost like midfield players. They take out a lot of advantage to the rival in the central zone".

Messi, the big hope of Argentina

The "10" of the Barça leads a generation that already has reached important attainments, like the World-wide Sub'20 of 2005 and the olympic gold of Peking 2008. With his club has won it all, considers him the best footballer of the 21st century, but also is used to him reproach that it is missing him a World-wide to be to the height of the big myths. In this occasion, besides, asks him that it load to the team to the back, such as it did Maradona in Mexico'86. Messi will have one of the most difficult challenges of his career against Germany; a party in which it will try to avenge, also, of the humillante elimination of Barça in semifinals of the Champions against the Bayern Munich does two seasons.
