Brazil legend Pele maintains that Barcelona star Lionel Messi needs to overhaul his goalscoring record if he is to be considered the best player ever.
Pele bagged 1283 goals in his career for Santos, New York and Brazil, while the 23-year-old Messi's total currently stands at 180.

And speaking after Santos' Copa Libertadores win on Wednesday night, Pele responded to suggestions that the Argentine had already surpassed his achievements: "Messi better than Pele? To get there he needs to score more than 1283 goals," he said.

The former Santos star also spoke about currently Brazilian starlet Neymar, who is the subject of a transfer tug-of-war between Real Madrid and Chelsea, taking the opportunity to have another sly dig at Messi's achievements.

"Neymar has great talent. I hope Neymar doesn't end up like Messi, who plays so well for his club but does nothing for his country [Argentina]," he added.

Somebody is afraid of his record being overtaken

And don't even see messi even attempting to break that record.

Pele scored those goals playing in the Brazilian league and the MLS. . .He really needs to shut up.

Mind games before d Copa America

One eye man in the country of blind men!! Having playes for 20years he scored average of 64goals per year and that includes friendlies and playing weak club sides, can someone rewind the clock back to 50's and get Messi to play then He will probably score 100 goals per week!!

^
your head dey there!

With Messi on 108 hitting 1283 goals will be impossible, even if he now plays in the MLS
