Mario Alberto Kempes, world champion with the Argentine National Team in 1978, today criticized Lionel Scaloni’s team following losing in their World Cup debut.
The former striker from Cordoba first cautiously analyzed what the result was. He said that the national team did not find the spaces or the moments and that they did not have a good game.
But then he fired with heavy ammunition: “The games are never won before playing them. I think that Argentina overcame the rival a little, very cancheritos at times, and paid for it.”
He said and continued: “Now you have to put on your work overalls once more, forget that they are the figures and those chosen by all as candidates to win the world championship, and start from scratch.”
