Javier Zanetti on Sportish: “Messi is at Maradona’s level, I remember Karaguni, Georgato and Hutto”

Javier Zanetti. The former “captain” of Argentina and Inter, former teammate of Lionel Messi in the “Albiceleste”, is in Doha for the World Cup.

Expect “Pulga” and teammates to get “revenge” for the lost dreams of an entire talented – beyond doubt – generation. To win the third world title in the grand final of “Lusail” against France.

That Sportish met him at the Qatar Tennis Academy in Khalifa. “I think our time has come. Argentina’s time has come for no other reason than because it deserves it‘ he said at first

Zanetti never hid in a field fight. Not even outside the field lines, of course. That’s why he took a stand in the Messi or Maradona dilemma.

“Messi is the natural leader, our natural leader. It would be very nice for Messi to lift this trophy to give to Argentina. To give this joy to all Argentines. For me Messi is on the same level as Maranona and the result of this final won’t change my mind“.

But what’s the first thought that goes through the 49-year-old Argentinian’s mind when he hears the word Greece? “The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word Greece is the Greek footballers I spent time with at Inter. Karagounis, Georgatos, Hutos“.
