Surprising and controversial words the said by the ex Italian trainer and myth of the world-wide football Arrigo Sacchi. The man that created all a system of game with his AC Milan considered in an interview for "The Nation" that although the crack of the FC Barcelona Leo Messi is the best of the world to day of today, is not it of the history of his country, Argentina. Sacchi Dissected his answer and also spoke of why to the albiceleste goes him badly in spite of the cracks that has. 

"Why it does not triumph Messi with Argentina? A team has a power that neither Messi only can have. Messi wins a lot and with more ease in Barcelona that with the selection of Argentina. What is missing him? An idea of important game", confirmed a Sacchi that desgranó this with more details.

"It looks, this always said it to him to Silvio Berlusconi: a film without an important script, of level, neither although have to the best actors of the world, Robert Of Niro, Jack Nicholson or Clooney..., you think that it could transform in a film of cult? Sure that no. Because it is missing the plot", surprised the Italian saying.

"The football is equal: you have to have to 11 players with a big motivation, to 11 players with a spirit of team very strong. And a trainer that offer an important game, defined and community. If afterwards you have talents, much better. But if you do not have talents, here see to Germany, that the same devises them to him to win or be here up. Because has a plan. Argentina always is between the favourites. Perhaps it have to have more cohesion, more spirit of group".

"The has to go back, can not lose to the best player of the world"

On the renunciation to the selection of the rosarino, Sacchi has it clear: "Él does not have an illusion now, but understand that it goes to change of idea because he has a debt with the football, has a debt with the fans, has a debt with the Argentinian... Therefore he has to go back. We can not lose to the best player of the world".

Of the eternal war between CR7 and Leo remained with the talent of the ten culé. "Cristiano is an example of big professional. It does not have the talent of Messi, but is a grandísimo player. Once I was to the Madrid to greet to Carlo Ancelotti and, even before the practice, Cristiano already was training in the changing room, before it began the rest. Has a lot of will, and a lot of passion... Without passion anybody, never, has done something important", explained

"Messi? It is the best player of the world today, but does not have the personality of Diego"

But in spite of this, Arrigo thinks that Messi is by behind "Maradona and Gave Stefano" regarding the best historical players of Argentina. "They were the two bigger. Distinct, but the biggest. Maradona, with more talent; Alfredo was always everywhere...", it sustains.

"Messi? It is the best player of the world today, but does not have the personality of Diego. Maradona Could play in all the places. In Italy does not play a beautiful football; now it can be a bit better, but plays a very difficult football, hinders a lot the possession. And, however, Diego marked differences so much in Italy as in Spain. It did not stop it at all to Maradona", concluded.
