Inter Milan striker
Diego Milito says
Manchester United star Wayne
Rooney is the most over-rated player in the game.
Milito says England superstar Rooney may not even be in the
world’s top 20 players.
Milito told the Daily Star Sunday: “When we hear the
English or anybody else in the world of football trying to compare
Wayne Rooney with Messi, we find it laughable.
“Rooney is a very good player there is no doubt about that – but
to put him on the same level as Messi is wrong. It’s not up for
debate, it’s just wrong.
“We are looking at a player in Messi who, when he retires, may
very well be the best player to have graced the game.
“How can he be compared to anybody currently playing, let alone
a player who has never ever won World Player of the Year?
“While I don’t agree with it, I can understand Messi being
compared to Kaka and
Ronaldo, but Rooney? No, no,
no.”
Milito added: “Like I said, I think Rooney is a very good
player, maybe even a top 20 player in the world – but that doesn’t
make him Messi, it doesn’t even make him close to Messi."
