Mess's associate: He's not the best.

Even though he is a co-player of Lionel Messes in Barcelona, Malcom does not view Argentina as the best football player of all time.

For the Brazilian of Barcelona, Malcom, his legendary countrymen, Pele, was better than Mess.

The things that Mess still makes me wonder. You can't predict what he does. We know he can come from the left, but we don't know when he's gonna do this”, Malcolm said of Esport InterActivo.

He's always waiting for the perfect angle, the specific moment. He's great. It's a really special feeling to play with it”

“Mess will be considered best in history after Peles. I didn't think that before I came to Barcelona, but now that I'm very close to him, I see how he works day after day and I can see he's amazing”

For now, Mess is the best in the world and it's way ahead of everyone else. He can decide the fate of the match within two minutes”.

Malcom's statement comes several months after Pele himself said he and Diego Maradona were much better players than Messy, who they claimed would only play one leg.

Maradona was much better than Messy. He uses himself one of his own”, Pele said of O Ray.
