Argentina finally stopped making fans cry, broke the 28-year championship drought and won the Copa America. This time it was Messi and his friends who made the difference.
Not surprisingly, whenever Messi made a good achievement, there were always two kinds of people who were sour, one was a mule cub spread all over the world, and the other was an Argentine compatriot who honored Maradona.
"Unfortunately for Messi he is Maradona's replacement. Maradona is idolized all over the world and can easily appear eclipsed by him. ”
"For a long time, Messi did not win the championship with the Argentine national team. If he wants to be a better player than Maradona, it will be difficult to do even if he wins the World Cup four times in a row. He doesn't have a Single World Cup title now. ”
"No matter how many trophies Messi wins, he can't match Maradona's achievements."
Do you guess that the above words were said by the mule cubs, or by the believers of the "Ma's Monotheistic Religion"?
It was none other than the Argentine star Kempez who spewed out these words.
As the most accomplished Argentine player before Maradona and Messi, as the predecessor of the two kings, Kempez tried his best to belittle Messi and elevate the old horse, with a clear attitude, a clear stance, and no fear of offending people, just like some ordinary old fans who came from maradona's era, they did not buy the new king Messi.
Is it that simple?
We know that Argentina has won the World Cup twice in its history, in addition to maradona's one, there was also a local hegemony in 78 years, when the top player in the team was precisely Kempez. Seriously, Kempez has done a great job for the team, sending Argentina to the top of the world with 6 goals, and also reaping the Golden Boot and Ballon d'Or, which is the highlight of his career.
If it weren't for Maradona, kenpes would have been the greatest player in the country's history.
But apart from the World Cup, can you think of any other aspect of Kempez's career? What is the situation with the club? What is the Copa America?
Apparently, as a player, at least 80% of Kempeth's credit was left in that World Cup. With this World Cup, he can stay in history; without this World Cup, with his European Cup Winners' Cup and two La Liga Golden Boots, he is at best a common good player, and the so-called "superstar" is not called.
Kempes couldn't have been clearer about his situation, so he consciously or unconsciously used the World Cup as the most important yardstick for measuring all the players in his country. In this way, Kempes and Maradona, who led the team to win the World Cup, are naturally the two highest-ranking people.
It's just that the old horse is followed by a Messi, even if there is no World Cup, his historical status in world football is higher than Kempez, which is needless to say.
The two kings stood side by side, shining brightly, and Kempes was the third person in the history of Argentine football.
Even a third person may not be able to keep it.
Because there's a Batistuta.
The relationship between Kempez and Barty is similar to that of Maradona and Messi.
When it comes to Barty, many media and fans seem to be fixing him as a tragic hero, because his achievements are far from worthy of his talent. In fact, on the national team alone, Batistuta can be called a remarkable achievement, two-time Copa America champion and one Confederations Cup champion, much stronger than Messi. Barty also won the Copa America Golden Boot twice.
Kempez knows this, as an old football veteran, for many years he has been peddling Messi's view that Messi is not as good as Maradona on the grounds of "no World Cup", and even saying the crazy thing that "four consecutive World Cups can not catch up", which seems to be denying Messi, but actually devaluing Barty.
As one of the people in the bureau, Kempes is inconvenient to say that he is the third person in his country, and can only influence public opinion through a series of arguments. He is ostensibly saying that Messi is inferior to Maradona because there is no World Cup, but in fact he is saying that because there is no World Cup, Barty is inferior to him Kempez.
The so-called "Xiangzhuang Dancing Sword" is intended to be Pei Gong" (沛公).
……
Otherwise, there is no way to explain Kempes's long-standing brainless remarks that disparage Messi for lifting Maradona.
