Pele Launches Attack On 'one Skill' Lionel Messi - And Says He Was Better by Blabbermouth: 8:54am On Dec 06, 2018
Messi has come under attack from Brazilian icon Pele
Legend Pele says Lionel Messi 'can't compare' to him - and incredibly slammed the Barcelona megastar for having just one attribute to his game.
The 78-year-old Brazil icon has sensationally criticised Messi for being one-footed.
He also says the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's inability to head the ball means he was a better player.
“How can you make a comparison between a guy who heads the ball well, shoots with the left, shoots with the right and another who only shoots with one leg, only has one skill and doesn’t head the ball well?” he told Folha de Sao Paulo.

Pele didn't hold back when asked if Messi was better than he was

“How can you compare? To compare with Pele, it has to be someone who shoots well with the left, shoots well with the right, and scores headers.”
Earlier this year, the Brazil hero said he believes Neymar is a better players than both Messi and long-term rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
The PSG star dropped a hint on YouTube that we could see him in the Premier League before too long.
Pele added: "As far as I’m concerned, Maradona was one of the best players ever. If you ask me, 'Was he better than Messi?' Yes, he was. Much better.

“[Franz] Beckenbauer, [Johan] Cruyff were also excellent players."
