With Diego Maradona - mania hitting India by storm, the Argentinian football legend didn’t miss a beat during a charity auction and dinner in Kolkata to take let his feeling about Pele be known once again.

Via Times Of India

“The biggest and main difference between Pele and Maradona is that I have the respect of all football players, which Pele does not have. Pele is a friend of those who manage football. I am not friends with them. I am with the players.”

He also responded to a question on terrorist strikes like the one in Mumbai, saying, “We have to stop this because there are many innocent people, innocent kids, paying the price. They shouldn’t be paying the price.”

    Does Maradonna always speak in third person?

    I am a die heart fan of the god himself Diego Armando Maradona. For me he can never be wrong. For me whatever he does is done by the Godhead.

    About this above mentioned comment on Pele I can only say that he is the real MAN WHO HAS THE COURAGE TO RAISE VOICE AGAINST THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAS BLUNDERED HIS LIFE EARLIER FOR HIS EARLIER VOICE RAISING.

    I wish to see my DREAM MAN always as powerful as he is now and had been.

    I also wish his & his family’s good health.
