lis Do you hear the names of Mario Kempes (ex-Valencia and world champion in 1978)? And what about Oscar Ruggeri, ex-Real Madrid player and champion in 1986? Or Javier Saviola, ex-Real Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga and Sevilla player and Argentine international? Well, MARCA attended an event with all of them and we wanted to ask them about…
Argentina, Just a year and a half after winning his third star in Qatar, he has the great challenge of achieving the Triple Crown which, at the American level, no one has ever achieved in history, and only Spain at the World Cup (Euro 08, World Cup 2010 and Euro 12). The Albiceleste, with almost the same eleven as in Qatar, challenges itself with this possible Triplete: Copa América 2021 (in Brazil and against Brazil), World Cup 2022 and CA 2024.
Will the Albiceleste make it? Kempes says: “It would be nice, but this Cup must serve to revalidate the 2026 World Cup, which is what is important.” Then Ruggeri speaks: “There may be similarities with Spain, yes, although you always have to respect your rivals and nothing has been done yet.” And the third, ‘El Conejo’ Saviola: “I hope it happens like this and we make history like Spain. That Roja made the difference and had many stars. This Argentina has at least two or three high-level players per line. “Hopefully we compare ourselves with Spain and we can win the Cup.”
For Argentina, that is true, the most difficult thing still remains. Amen to the party of Tonight, in which they must confirm their first place in the Group, the quarter-finals will be, presumably, against Ecuador or Mexico.and, from there, a semifinals and a final that, given the competition in America, are not going to be easy for anyone, not even for the world champion.
