Argentina legend Diego Maradona’s categorization of Lionel Messi as ‘not a leader’ left plenty of fans, family members and international teammates bemused.
Maradona had said: “Messi’s a great player, but he’s not a leader. Before talking to the coach and players, he’ll play on the PlayStation. Then, on the pitch, he wants to be the leader. He’s the best along with Cristiano Ronaldo but for me, it’s pointless to make a leader out of a man who goes to the bathroom 20 times before a match.” And Messi had to pay the price for Maradona’s comments. Today morning when he got up, he was surprised to see his phone hang due to 1000s of emails from Spanish Diabetes doctors. Everyone had the same reply, ‘FREQUENT URINATION IS A SIGN OF DIABETES’. Messi received health check packages from all leading doctors of Spain and he was left confused as to what to do with such messages.
Some doctors had in fact personally visited him this morning as they see a business opportunity in Messi’s disease. The doctors have promised a commission to Maradona which may go upto many millions of dollars. To have a patient like Messi is a dream for many doctors and doctors have surely got a big opportunity to cash in on.
