Kolkata: Globetrotting English manager Stephen Constantine ranks Pele, Maradona, and Ronaldinho above Lionel Messi, saying the Argentine maestro is devastating on the ball, but his side effectively plays with 10 men without it because his teammates have to do the running and cover for him.
The 39-year-old has been at his vintage best with eight goals and four assists, almost single-handedly leading the side to a successive final with a stunning 1-2 combeback defeat of England.
