Diego Maradona has said Santos striker and Real Madrid target Neymar is "bad-mannered, just like Pele" after his recent comments regarding Barcelona's Lionel Messi.

Neymar claimed he could become better than Messi by playing at Santos (Pele's former club), suggesting there is no need to leave Brazil to be the best, despite being linked with Barca's bitter rivals Madrid.

LOL he never said that he could be a better player than messi

And Maradona, on the eve of the 25th anniversary of his 'Hand of God' goal against England in the 1986 World Cup, has hit back in his unique style.

The former Argentina national team coach slammed Neymar's remarks, and took the opportunity to hit out at Brazilian legend Pele.

"Neymar is bad-mannered, just like Pele," the Al Wasl coach told TVE.

"Messi is an exceptional player and I doubt anyone can separate him [from being the best]."

I think he is kinda pissed off the fact that he is being linked with Real Madrid lol because he wants Aguero to go there.

He must have understood wrong.

Druggie is offensive though.

Then don't call him like that out of respect for people who do have him as a national icon.

He is a jerk, i know. But the thing is that the insult spreads to many. Not only because he is a representative of our national football, but also the type of insult affects many.

thought this was about mutu with the title saying druggie

Maradona >> Pele

Showboating isnt part of argentina way of football right?

That worries me... Does it mean that Kun* might stay in Pathetico?

No chance he does, Terra.es is reporting that we are pretty close to sealing it.

edit: my bad

Honestly, with all his personal faults, Maradona is the best player I have ever seen play.
