Kempez slammed Maradona: Messi is the number one in the world, you will only sensationalize

On October 17, The Argentine celebrity, "Butcher" Kempes was interviewed by ESPN, and in response to Maradona's view that "Messi is not suitable to be a leader", Kempez bluntly said that Maradona should shut up.

"For Messi, I think now Messi is the first man, the first person in the world, Diego was once the number one in the world, but he is already history, he has passed. Like Bailey, like Cruyff, in their time, they were all the first people, but they all passed, like Diego, he himself was great that year, won the world championship, but the world number one today, is Messi. Messi also doesn't need to win a World Cup to prove how good he is. ”

"Every time Diego opens his mouth, he gets into trouble because he doesn't know respect, he lost the World Cup final in Italy that year, no one said about him, right? We made a lot of excuses at that time, and if we lost, we lost, and that's it, and there were no dead people, and there was no war, right? But Messi is the best player in the world, he is an Argentine, playing for Argentina, and he ends up criticizing him. “

"Diego hasn't played football in 30 years, and he's running trains with his mouth full, he should shut up and enjoy it, football is not just about winning or losing, you have to go to the final and win the championship, the world is not only Argentina, it should respect others." He wants to talk, to sensationalize, and some people do take him seriously, but most people think of him as a clown. “

In response to Maradona's criticism of Messi going to the toilet before the game, Kempez responded: "If he went to the toilet 25 times before the game because of nervousness, why wasn't he nervous on the pitch? Messi is now the number one in the world, and it will be for a long time to come. Diego was jealous, and he was making a joke very unleveloped. I've won the World Cup myself, but I don't say I'm number one in the world. “
