Veron: Messi is not a leader

Lionel Messi cannot be the same as Diego Maradona, believes the former Argentina national team player Juan Sebastian Veron.

"I don't question Leo's football skills. What he can do, hardly anybody can. But he's not meant to be a leader, he doesn't have that character trait. He's a shy boy. On the other hand, Diego was always someone you could look up to. you lean on, to count on him when you need him the most," Veron said.

Argentina will play a key match at the World Cup tomorrow. The opponent is Nigeria and the "gaućosi" must celebrate and hope that Iceland will not do the same against Croatia.
