He was world champion with Argentina, now he belittled Lionel Scaloni to flatter Messi

The Argentine team managed to make history in the World Cup in Qatar and achieved the third title for the country. Despite the fact that the road was difficult, the team led by Lionel Scaloni obtained the coveted trophy. Now, in the midst of the uproar caused by the feat, a world champion with the Albiceleste belittled the work of the DT, who replaced Jorge Sampaoli in office.

Scaloni arrived in the National Team more than four years ago and his hand did not tremble to carry out a new project that, of course, revolves around Lionel Messi. Despite criticism from the press and fans due to his lack of experience, the coach demonstrated his conditions and won three important titles during his management (Copa América 2021, Finalissima 2022 and the Qatar World Cup).

While his renewal is being discussed, which would be until the 2026 World Cup, a world champion missed Scaloni's work in the National Team, since he has Lionel Messi, who was the figure of the competition developed in the Middle East. It is about the historic Mario Alberto Kempes, one of the historic Argentine selected, who achieved glory in 1978.

What did the 'Matador' say about Scaloni that caught everyone's attention?

In dialogue with D Sports, Kempes, Argentina's top scorer in the World Cup held in the country, commented: “In the 1978 World Cup there were no figures. Bilardo had Diego (Maradona) and Scaloni had (Lionel) Messi”. His statements were taken as unnecessary, especially due to the climate of optimism that exists after what was achieved in Qatar.
