据足球门户Goal.com网站报道，意大利传奇人物、前国脚卡纳瓦罗认为，梅西只有最终赢得世界杯决赛，才能与马拉多纳匹敌。

The ex-Italy skipper, who won the tournament eight years ago, gave his thoughts on who the greatest Argentine is and believes Neymar does not work hard enough.

卡纳瓦罗是前意大利队队长，曾在八年前率领球队捧起了世界杯。他对目前阿根廷的最伟大球员人选发表了自己的看法，并认为内马尔还不够努力。

Italy legend Fabio Cannavaro does not think Lionel Messi can be considered better than Diego Maradona until he has won a World Cup.

他认为，梅西只有最终捧起世界杯，才能与马拉多纳匹敌。

The Barcelona star failed to take the tournament by storm four years ago as the Maradona-coached Albiceleste reached the quarter-finals.

四年前的南非世界杯上，巴萨球星梅西未能力挽狂澜，老马执教的阿根廷队最终止步八强。

Cannavaro, who lifted the World Cup as Azzurri skipper in 2006, acknowledged that Messi is a brilliant player but considers the 1986 World Cup winner to have the edge - at least until the 26-year-old lifts the greatest trophy in international football.

2006年，意大利队队长卡纳瓦罗捧起了大力神杯。他承认，梅西是名出色的球员，但作为1986年世界杯得主，马拉多纳仍略胜一筹——除非26岁的梅西也能问鼎世界杯。

"Messi? As I said, when you win the Champions League or the Ballon d'Or, you become a great player," he told reporters.

“正如我之前所说，多次赢得西甲冠军并荣膺金球奖，梅西已经是一名出色的球员了。”卡纳瓦罗对记者说。

"But when you win a World Cup, a player becomes a legend. To be better than Maradona, Messi has to win the World Cup here in Brazil."

“但对球员来说，只有夺取世界杯，才能成为一代传奇。要想和老马比肩而立，梅西必须在巴西摘取世界杯桂冠。”

The former centre-back also mused over Brazilian talent, insisting that Neymar needs to show more graft in games and claiming that the defensive partnership of Thiago Silva and David Luiz has no equal in world football.

意大利队前中后卫还谈论了自己对巴西天才内马尔的观点，认为他需要在比赛中更加努力。卡纳瓦罗还称，席尔瓦和鲁伊斯的后防线组合在世界足坛上无可比拟。

"Neymar still needs to work a bit harder," he told reporters. "He's an excellent player, playing football that entertains people.

“内马尔还需要在比赛中更卖力一些。”卡纳瓦罗告诉记者。“当然，他很出色，人们喜欢看他踢球。”

"The world is changing and football is too. The best defenders are currently from Brazil and the best strikers from Italy, Germany and other countries.

“世界一直在变，足球也是如此。如今，最佳防守队员来自巴西，最佳前锋来自意大利、德国等国。”

"Thiago Silva and David Luiz are very strong, they form a good team, perhaps one of the best in the world."

“席尔瓦和鲁伊斯的强强联手表现绝佳，这或许是世界足坛最优秀的后防线。”
