Pelé: "Messi is a copy of Maradona"

It has become customary for Pelé to take advantage of any media event to stick the knife into anything related to Argentinean football. On the latest occasion, he said that Maradona "only played with his left leg and was not a strong header of the ball".
Regarding 'La Pulga', he proclaimed, "Messi? He's more or less a copy of him".
According to Pelé, neither of the two players is at his level, because they are unable to use both feet with the same ability as the Brazilian star.
In an interview published in the Italian newspaper 'La Repubblica', Pelé stated, in contrast, that "Neymar could become stronger than the two Argentineans, because he has the ability".
Pelé continues to fanatically support his fellow countryman and Brazilian football's most promising prospect, although he warned that "he has to mature" and that "sometimes he doesn't present himself in the right way for certain responsibilities", in clear reference to his part in the Brazilian team's failure during the London Olympics.
