Argentina's soccer team coach Diego Maradona speaks with forward Lionel Messi in 2009.
Grow Up Messi - Maradona
Football legend Diego Maradona believes Lionel Messi needs to grow up and show a little more character as the row over his Olympic commitments continues.
Barcelona are trying to stop the winger from representing his country at this summer’s Beijing Olympics. However, Messi has always shown his stance and he is keen on appearing in China. This has resulted in a catch 22 situation between player, club and country.Maradona has now given his views on the tricky situation and he believes that Messi needs to be more mature over the whole affair.
“Messi needs to decide what he really wants to do,” Maradona told AS.
“I think he needs to show a little more character and I believe that this is the time to where he can become a man.
“There are always occasions when a player has other commitments but I really hope that Messi can change his attitude. Hopefully with time, he will become more of a complete footballer.”
Barcelona are playing hardball over allowing Messi to leave but the case has gone to FIFA and a decision is likely to be announced next week.
