Lol, no. This is was in the late 90s, not the freaking 60s. Sure they deserve some credit, but nowhere near as much as someone would make it out to be. If he didn't make it here, he would've made it somewhere else. That's how much talent he got. Real Madrid might've offered him the treatment for all we know, bet some would've liked that.
You don't know what would have happened.So may talents that look amazing do not turn out to be what they are expected of.He was declined in argie.For all we know he could be declined elsewhere too.No one knew back then he would be the messi of now.One club rejected him,others could too and even if they did not there were still chances that he could not have been so great because of training differences etc.He was not a lucky draw for us.We invested and developed him from the start.We deserve more credit than you seem to be saying.
