I don't think Messi will be able to do what Maradona achieved. Maradona has shown the world that a one-man-army can defeat the rest of the world: @bhaichung15, former Indian football team captain.
This is football & there are footballers. Only once in a while, you will get a genius, that's what Maradona was: @Charuonsports, Sports Commentator tells TIMES NOW.
Maradona's popularity also owed itself to coming at the right time --- the mid-80s was when television as a medium was exploring sports --- that's when he came out: @debayansen, Sr Asst Editor, ESPN India tells TIMES NOW.
What really struck me is how many more sportsmen are we going to lose at such a young age. The problem is that their best days will be over when they reach 35 years of age. Then, they get into various issues like drugs, alcohol, etc. Vedam Jaishankar, Sports Journalist.
In the 1986 tournament, Maradona showed the world that you can win matches single-handedly. He was the main inspiration for players of my generation: @bhaichung15, former Indian football team captain, tells TIMES NOW.
Maradona's was a fantastic life, a life lived king size. His popularity transcended generations of sports in many ways: @debayansen, Sr Asst Editor, ESPN India tells TIMES NOW.
