Mario Kempes highlighted the current state of the national team and talked about a possible 4th star.

The former footballer and 78's figure, Mario Alberto Kempes, participated in a talk with the team of "Nuestra Mañana" from Radio Mitre and analyzed Argentina's historic 4-1 victory over Brazil.

During the conversation with Marcelo Bonelli and the rest of the panel, the Matador praised the level of the group led by Lionel Scaloni, noting that many see the possibility of adding a new champion star to the jersey as close.

"Argentina today is far superior to an unrecognizable Brazil," emphasized the former player, who also dared to project about the 2026 World Cup: "Argentina is a protagonist every time it enters a championship."

Mario Kempes and the possibility of a new star

In his analysis, Kempes highlighted that the team "is doing things very well" and that the National Team "has found a group of players who are very important, and no matter who is missing, they continue to play the same way." "We will be protagonists, and it is already a candidate," affirmed the Matador, although he warned that in a World Cup "things are not the same."

"It's not just the 4-1, it's how each one played. We can say that Scaloni is to blame for Argentina playing the way it does because he has chosen the players he wanted to choose and has really formed a great team," assured Kempes, praising the work of the Argentine coach. He added: "The coach knows everyone. He is giving the opportunity to many that even I didn't know, and that's good because the change has to come gradually."

Kempes explained why the called-up players play in Europe

When asked about the difficulty of Argentine football players being drafted to the national team, Kempes was blunt: "It's painful for the Argentine playing in Argentina, but well, things are done this way. Many seek the experience and play style they have in Europe, which is not so different from Argentina, but it seems like it is."
