Maradona: Messi did not deserve Ballon d'Or

Maradona: Messi did not deserve Ballon d'Or
Diego Armando Maradona believes that Lionel Messi did not deserve the award for best player of the World Cup while Sabella think differently

Argentina on Sunday night defeated in the finals of the Mundial from Germany, FIFA is a bit unexpected awarded Messi the Ballon d'Or.

"I'm sorry for my country. Goetze's goal really hurts. Great sadness in my heart because of the defeat. I think that Argentina deserved at least the finals. Germany won due to a misunderstanding of the Argentine last line," said Maradona, adding:

"Messi? I'd give him the heavens when it would be possible, but it's not fair to get an award for something that did not deserve it just because of a marketing plan."

Sabella has a different opinion: Sabella has a different opinion: "I believe that he is been in the pantheon of the greatest. He was there before the tournament, and there is been some time. I think that deserves the Ballon d'Or and played a great World Cup. He was fundamental factor in our way to the finals. I truly believe that he deserves. "

Commenting on the (lack of) success.

"These players are warriors. They left their skin on the ground and gave their all. Squad played a great World Cup and players can look at each other and say we gave everything. It was a very equal match. They had more possession, but we had more opportunities. When you have such opportunities in such a match, you have to use them. We missed our efficiency, "added Sabella.
