Mario Alberto Kempes
Mario Alberto Kempes, known as 'El Matador', is an Argentine football legend celebrated for his pivotal role in leading the national team to victory in the 1978 FIFA World Cup, where he was also the tournament's top scorer. Renowned for his powerful goal-scoring ability, Kempes enjoyed a successful club career, notably with Rosario Central and Valencia, where he became a fan favorite. After retiring from professional play, he transitioned into a sports commentator and analyst, often sharing his insights on the current state of Argentine football. Recently, Kempes made headlines for his outspoken criticism of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and its president, Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia, regarding the current format of the national league and the lack of relegation, which he believes undermines the sport's integrity.
