Messi is a teddy bear' - Maradona


Diego Maradona says Lionel Messi is “more like a teddy bear than a football player”, but feels it was still wrong for his Argentina ban to be rescinded.
The Barcelona star has been cleared to play for his country again after sitting out just one game of an initial four-match suspension.
He has been cleared by the FIFA appeals committee after allegedly insulting a match official during a World Cup qualifier against Chile.

Maradona believes the complete exoneration of Messi sends out the wrong message to those who have committed similar offences, with the authorities displaying preferential treatment.
He told Radio La Red: "It makes absolutely no sense, but Leo deserved [to be sanctioned] for one more match and I say that with my heart in my hand.
"They reduced the ban for the same reason they always do with star players and veteran players
"Messi is not the type of player to insult anyone. I managed him for one year and he is more like a teddy bear than a football player."

Goal.
