weekly bullshit column by Pele

Pelé on Messi 1/3: He's excellent, but it's soon to compare him with Pelé. Look, since I started playing they are comparing players with me.
Pelé on Messi 2/3: Pelé has something when everybody wants to be his successor. Messi and Cristiano are not comparable.
Pelé on Messi 3/3: Messi has more technique, a different style, gets more involved. Cristiano is stronger, has more "punch".
Pelé on Messi deserving the BO: I would give the Ballon d'Or to Neymar, he's the best. He's had a fantastic season.
Pelé on scoring 1k goals 1/2: It's difficult, you need to score headers.There are players like Messi who are more mids, who generate+finish.
Pelé on scoring 1k goals 2/2: And I didn't take penalties btw. That's Messi's problem, he's not complete in the air. It's a problem.

Don't know how accurate this is or if has been taken out of context, but if true, it has to be the most ridiculous shit he said yet, could you possibly be more insecure?

Messi has 2 bad games and people are complaining?

LOL

Maybe Messi is a bit tired of completely carrying the team on his shoulders this season.

We've been a bit off this season and there are two reasons why:

1) Pep executed a new formation too early, imo, in the season against too good of opposition. He should have slowly tested it vs the weaker teams, then started introducing it against better and better teams.

2) Pedro and Villa have been absolute shit. Pedro, especially, has been TERRIBLE. From preseason to now, just awful. Villa has scored a few big goals, and a few others...but other than that he's done nothing, barely contributing to any goal-scoring chances. Neither of them have been taking on defenders out wide which has caused us to force play down the middle through Messi...well teams are catching on and they are playing a tight, compact defense while parking the bus. When both wingers are playing bad you can't expect the team to do well. Messi has picked up their slack all season...and the last 2 games he hasn't, which is why the results weren't that good. Some of you will say "oh but they contribute so much with their workrate!". Oh please, ANY winger under Pep will work his ass off or sit the bench, they aren't doing the team any favors.

WTB Sanchez, he looked very promising in the begining of the season...especially considering he wasn't even used to the team yet. Can't wait for him to get back. If Afellay didn't get injured, given the way he played in pre-season, I'd be starting him over both Pedro and Villa.

Pele doesnt want any player to overtake him.

Lionel Messi will be better than Pele once retired.

Did Pele even play in EUROPE ???


I wonder why he always compares himself to Messi.

Insecurity much ?

That just goes to show how great Messi is.

Can't use his head ?

Did he not see Messi out jumping Ferdinand and Vidic and score with his head in a Champions League Final ?

He ( Pelle ) talks so much rubbish.

Václav Pilař (Viktoria Plzeň): "I approached Messi when we were leaving the lockers and asked him if he d give me his jersey after the game He agreed."

from Pep's press conference

Pep:“I don’t think there has ever been a player in history that can do what he manages to do every three days. It’s unthinkable.”

Pep:“people buy tickets just to see him play and he is doing something unique. To find a player that has managed to be so consistent for four years. Who is so fit, who fights so hard as him.”

Pep: “I've never seen anything like it, such consistency … perhaps I’m too young, but I never played with anybody like him and I have never coached a player like that either. He is a better player than anybody else, he has a gift.”

Pep:“Messi knows very well what we all think, all of the coaching staff, the people that look after him, and the other players … We are all delighted with what he does, has done and will do. And of course nothing that we have done would have been possible without him,which is what matters”

Pep:“Leo is a different kind of player, his stats make him different and he lets you win games at all levels … There is never a game in which he doesn’t generate play. It’s undebateable as far as we’re concerned. If there is any debate, then so be it, but it doesn’t weaken him and it won’t weaken him.”

Pep:"Many kids become cules because of Messi. Finding a player who plays with such regularity over 4 years is impossible."

Pep:"I already said so the other day, it's newsworthy when he doesn't score. Two days w/out scoring spurs a debate. Third one, crisis"

Pep:"We do not doubt Messi, even if from now until the end of the season he doesn't score another goal. You won't make him any less strong"

Pep:"He never plays badly. He's superior to the rest. He has that special something, with respect to the Peles and DiStefano's. He's consistent" (did Pep just trolled Pele?)

Pep:"Messi as a sub. If he gets upset he has two tasks-get annoyed and stop being annoyed. I am the one who decides"

I think he trolled Romario, saying:

Guardiola said:
I never played with anybody like him

Guardiola played alongside Romario. ;)

than even peter crouch is better than pele...

the guy is shit and he compares himself to messi, just because he won couple of world cups....if pele had played champions league and played against the best of the best teams he would've known which is the better competition.

Pele was injured in the beginning of the 2nd GS game of Brazil in the Chile 1962 World Cup.

The end result: Brazil still easily won the World Cup without him...

Of course Messi is better than Pele ect.. He is the best right now so in an absolute sense he is the best ever. As long as fotball evolves this fast it will stay like that. With this rate, Messis skills are laughable in 30 years.
