As a traditional football powerhouse, Argentina's forward line is full of talents in every era, winning 2 World Cups and 15 Copa America titles for Argentina. Take stock today of the top ten strikers in Argentine history.
1. Maradona: The world's recognized king of football, the representative of Argentine football, and the greatest striker in the history of Argentine football (there is no one). "Best Player of the 20th Century" by FIFA. His dribbling skills are unmatched, and his archery skills are at the pinnacle. An untamed personality, he is a natural leader who single-handedly led Argentina to the 1986 World Cup and the runner-up of the 1990 World Cup. The World Cup against England scored five-man goals and the "Hand of God" became the most brilliant picture in the history of football. It is a pity that the day did not leave the year, and I died at the age of 60, which is regrettable!
Forever the King of balls
Second, Messi.
After Maradona, the second generation of Argentine football leaders, dribbling, shooting, free kicks level is world-class, has the reputation of "human ball in one". Breaking one football record after another in Barcelona, winning six Ballon d'Or awards like no other than ever before, the seventh Ballon d'Or in 2021 is just around the corner. He was gentle in temperament and led Argentina to the 2014 World Cup runner-up and the 2021 Copa America, breaking the curse of Argentina's 28-year national team competition without a title. This year's move to Paris, continue the legend of immortality on the pitch!
Legend forever
Three, Kempes.
Kempes is handsome and superb at shooting. Helped the team win the 1980 European Cup Winners' Cup at Valencia. The most brilliant was the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, where he scored six goals and helped the team win the World Cup for the first time, and was named the top scorer and the best player. And get the South American Footballer of the Year.
The brightest star of the World Cup in '78
4. Caniggia.
The "Son of the Wind", Caniggia, is Maradona's best wingman and possesses a sword-sealed throat-piercing technique. He has long flowing hair and a handsome style. 100 meters speed 10.4 seconds. Best known for the '90 World Cup, maradona pass to score the goal that eliminated Brazil. Unfortunately, my career has been delayed by an indiscipline life.
Wind-like man
V. Batistuta.
"God of War" Barty has a strong personality, and the "Barty Goal" who shoots a strong goal is world-famous. Famous in Florence, he came to Rome for the dream of the championship and helped Roma win the league. Barty scored 54 goals in the national team, second only to Messi in Argentina's all-time top scorer list. He helped the Argentine national team win two consecutive Copa America titles (1991, 1993). He is also the only player in world football to score a hat-trick in two consecutive World Cups.
The Eternal "God of War"
Vi. Crespo.
Crespo is a "phenomenal" shooter with excellent headers, feet and tackles. Debuted in River Plate, became famous in Parma, and then moved to Inter Milan, Chelsea, AC Milan and other giants, is a sad shooter who is constantly wandering and wandering. Scored 35 goals in the national team, ranking fourth in the all-time top scorer list, in the early stage was Barty's substitute, and in the later period, he was unlucky and did not help the team win any major championships. After retiring from the army, he became a coach and led the domestic team defense and justice to win the South American Cup.
Football prodigal Crespo
VII. Di Maria.
Like Caniggia around Maradona, he is Messi's best partner. He is a sharp knife on the flanks, tearing through opponents' defenses, delivering fatal passes to Messi, sometimes transforming into a Terminator. In the 2021 Copa America final, it was his sword that sealed his throat and fulfilled Messi's dream of winning the competition. He was going to play in the 2014 World Cup final, and the result was not yet known. Unfortunately, Lian is old and physically incompetent, and I don't know how far the Qatar World Cup can help Argentina go.
Angels forever
VIII. Diego Milito.
A typical late bloomer, with delicate footwork and strong psychological qualities, he is a standard opportunist in the penalty area and is extremely efficient in scoring goals. In the 2009-2010 season, Inter reached the peak of his career, scoring three crowns on four goals, helping Inter win the first Serie A "treble" and being inducted into the Inter Hall of Fame after retiring. Unfortunately, in Argentina, it was never reused, either as a substitute or a friendly, scoring only 4 goals in Argentina.
One year canonized the god Milito
IX. Aguero.
Aguero is good at dribbling, extremely fast, and excellent shooting. Famous at Atletico Madrid, he reached the peak of his career in a decade at Manchester City and was the first scorer in Manchester City's history, helping Manchester City win the league five times. Unfortunately, there is no continuation of club status in the national team, and now it is a substitute striker. Helped the Argentine Olympic team win the Olympic gold medal and the national team win the Copa America. The national team scored 41 goals, ranking third in the all-time top scorer list.
Manchester City king Aguero
X. Higuain.
"Little Smoking Gun" Higuain is only two single knives away from the superstar, one kicked the World Cup champion and the other kicked the Copa America. It also became the biggest scapegoat for Argentina's loss of the title. But as a single-season goal holder in Serie A (36 goals), it cannot be denied that he is an excellent striker, but what is missing is a strong psychological quality. He proved himself at Real Madrid, Napoli and Juventus. The national team scored 31 goals, ranking sixth in the all-time top scorer list.
It's hard to say higuain
