Kempes, on the possibility of Messi playing in Argentina: “It would be crazy”

After winning the World Cup in Qatar, many fans imagined the possibility of Lionel Messi coming to Argentine football to play for Newell’s, the club where he made the lower divisions. Before the query, Mario Alberto Kempes said that it would be “worse than Maradona was” for his upbringing in Rosario. Do you know what Messi would be at Newell’s? Do you know what that would be? Worse than Maradona was, much worse. Because Messi was born there, he has always been from Newell’s. Maradona was taken”, differentiated in the first place the former world champion footballer with Argentina in 1978.In that sense he commented that “I do not know if he would withstand the pressure. The pressure is under pressure in Europe because he is already used to it and it is different. But in Argentina, do you know what it would be? Crazy.” About the future of Rosario, Kempes said that anything can happen before the range of offers that opens. Anything is possible. If Messi wants to go live in Argentina, Rosario and play at Newell’s, that would be fine with me. Now, if he thinks in three and a half years to continue in the Argentine national team and play the World Cup, what will happen? It depends on what he wants,” she explained. In addition, the “Matador” was then excited about the possibility of the “Flea” playing another world championship. “Hopefully he will come back. Things does. Let him do what he wants. He is in a league that is not one of the best, for me, but in which he feels comfortable. There you can get to stay until three and a half years from now. It would be phenomenal for him if he stays to play another World Cup,” he said.
