Legendary Argentine forward, Diego Armando Maradona expressed concern over the fact that his former club, Barcelona could make new Brazilian superstar, Neymar gain too much weight and limit his potential.
In a recent interview, Maradona praised the 21-year-old Brazilian but expressed his concerns with Barcelona over their desire to have the player gain weight.
“Neymar delights me. He is a player that should be noted.
“He knows what to do with himself and that he does not need to be a bodybuilder.I hope they [Barcelona] don’t do that with him. He just has to play football.”
Maradona went on to praise the Brazilian national team for their Confederations Cup win over Spain, but Diego pegs a Messi-led Argentina to win the 2014 World Cup.
“What Brazil showed in the Confederations Cup is that the team, with great concentration, but I’m putting my money on Argentina because of the great form of Messi.”
