Pele should be more concerned about his drug addled son.
He is a puppet & says whatever is necessary. The farce of the FIFA Player Of The Century where the world public voted for Diego but whose decision was overturned in favour of Pele was a farce.
Not a complete player ? None of Peles teamates who were just as good as him ever get the same recognition or financial renumeration as he does & they are very uncomplimentary to him.
Indeed di Stefano , Jairzinho , Garrincha are better than him.
Read these statements and judge for yourselves.
1. Zizou (3 times World player of the year): The greatest ever, He is
something else
2. Bobby charlton (greatest English player behind George Best): The
greatest footballer
3. Marco Van Basten (3 times European, 1 time World player of the
year) : The greatest footballer ever
4. R. Baggio (European and World player of the year) :Maradona is
the dream player of all time
5. Ronaldhino(2 times world player of the year): He is was my idol
and the greatest
6. Gullit (2 times World player of the year) : He was from another
world
7. Cantona (United & should have been France legend):Maradona is
art.The greatest
8. Ex Manager of England, Bobby Robson: Hate him or love him, He
was the greatest player of all time
9. Leo Messi(future great ?): There is only one Maradona, I cant be
like him
10.C. Ronaldo(future great ?): The greatest in the world
Maradona played in a pretty average Argentinian side & almost single handedly led Napoli to two scudetti & two runnerup spots & a UEFA cup.
Yes he is a prat off the field falling in with bad company as with George Best but on it he was incomparable.
