Alessandro Costacurta commented on the Marca newspaper about two Argentine football stars: “I used to play against Messi when he was 16 years old. At first, I thought it was just a kid and did what he liked on the field. But after 15 minutes, I asked Ancelotti to replace me.

I was lucky to have played before Maradona and Messi. The two of them have similarities, because they are both playing geniuses and they are like the way to show the natural qualities on the pitch. ”

AC Milan legend made a comparison between Messi and Maradona: “In my opinion, Messi is better than Maradona. Messi is colder than Maradona.

The difference is that, with Maradona, you can commit a foul on him 66 times to get a ticket. As for Messi, it is different, there is something different and football is now also different. ”

Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi are the two superstars considered to be the best in the history of Argentine football. The 2010 World Cup was a special tournament when Maradona was the head coach, while Messi was the No. 1 star in Argentina.

However, in the tournament on South Africa, Maradona’s Argentina team, Messi only reached the quarter-finals. Los Albiceleste lost bitterly 0-4 to the Germans, after the unfortunate mistakes in the defense.

Legendary center-back Costacurta played a total of 663 games for AC Milan, winning 5 Championships in the Champions League, 7 Serie A, 8 Italian Super Cups, 4 European Super Cups and 3 Intercontinental Cup.

Costacurta, along with Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini and Nesta, are the best central defenders in AC Milan and Italy. He attended the 1990, 1994 and 1998 World Cup before retiring, making way for famous juniors like Nesta, Cannavaro or Materazzi.
