I was lucky enough once to meet him. Despite his nickname of El Matador, he is a humble, funny, perfect gentleman, and kind of refuses to be treated as a legend he is.

I believe so. As a Brazil fan, I find Mario Kempes is approachable, a nice guy and a humorous guy who compared his striker partnership with Johnny Rep in Valencia as a pair of pointy bra 😂 🤣

Kempes was a legend. He scored his goals when it really mattered. He was the best example of how one should finish a World Cup final. I have never seen any player in history, define a World Cup, the way Kempes did. Not Maradona, not Pele, not Garrincha, not any other player in the history. The way he finished of that final in 78', was a prime example. He was a real champion!

Literally the most underrated football player I have ever come across.

[@casiuco]

This video is about Kempes and people comes here to talk about other players are you serious? Just talk about the man, Mario Kempes.

[@saswataroy9023]

Yeah!!! Kempes was very good as a striker but not as good as Maradona/Messi or even Gabriel Batistuta. 'Batigol'was more active and explosive than 'El Matador'.

[@johnpacino007]

Saswata Roy Kempes was better than Batistuta. He was a supreme dribbler, passing playmaker & a fantastic goal scorer. Batistuta, was mostly a brilliant goalscorer, but never dominated a World Cup like Kempes did in 1978. The only Argentinian players i've seen better than him is, Maradona & Messi.

[@saswataroy9023]

+john pacino What are you saying. He was the leading scorer for Argentina before Messi and he is Argentina's top scorer in World Cup with 10 goals. He is the only player in the World cup to score hat trick in two different World Cups. You said about Maradona. Well Do you know that the so-called Maradona once stated " Batistuta is the best striker I have ever seen play the game." Do you still deny his greatness. Moreover he has a God like status in florence where he played for fiorentina and he is their all time top scorer

[@saswataroy9023]

+Yamil Vanella Batistuta is still your country's greatest scorer in World Cup history. He is the only player to score a hat-trick in two different World Cups. You prefer Kempes because he scored in the final and won the Cup but that is not the difference. Kempes was great but Batigol was better. It s a bad lyck that he never played in fact Argentina never played the final in his times

[@kain1144]

@@johnpacino007 kempes was technically superior to Bati.. Bati had his advantages.. His shot was extremely powerful he could have scored from 40yard if given space... He was physically stronger in general, Bati was a fighter on the pitch

[@tlig]

Kempes picked up every major title in the 1978 World Cup - golden boot, golden ball and the world cup. Disappointingly, it also marked the last time he scored for his country - he was only 23.

Yo no entiendo mucho de futbol pero ahí les va una receta para tamales; PARA LA SALSA 750 gramos de pierna de puerco 2 hojas de laurel 1/2 cebolla 4 ajos agua 1/2 kilo de jitomates 4 chiles de árbol 4 chiles mirasol, desvenados 1 cucharada de fécula de maíz PARA LOS TAMALES 1 kilo de masa 250 gramos de manteca de cerdo 1 cucharada de sal 1 cucharada de polvo para hornear Hojas secas de maíz remojadas en agua caliente Cómo hacerlo 1. Pon la carne en una olla mediana con suficiente agua, cebolla, hojas de laurel, ajos y sal al gusto. Deja que suelte el hervor, tapa y cuece a fuego lento durante 1 hora, o hasta que esté bien cocida. 2. En otra olla con agua hirviendo, cuece los jitomates junto con los chiles durante 5 minutos. Licua con un poco de agua y una cucharada de maizena hasta lograr una salsa espesa. Reserva. 3. Una vez que la carne está lista, coloca en un recipiente y desmenuza bien. Reserva. 4. En un tazón o recipiente grande, mezcla la masa, manteca, 1 cucharada de sal y polvo para hornear. Amasa bien hasta lograr una consistencia suave y sin grumos. Agrega un chorrito del caldo de puerco para trabajarla más fácilmente y mantenerla ligeramente húmeda. 5. Coloca una bolita de masa en la tortilladora y presiona suavemente hasta formar una tortilla gruesa. Coloca en una hoja de maíz, coloca carne deshebrada al gusto y cubre con una cucharada de la salsa preparada. 6. Dobla la parte inferior de la hoja y cierra los lados. Repite el procedimiento hasta terminar con la carne. Coloca los tamales en una olla vaporera con suficiente agua. Cuece a fuego medio-bajo durante 1 hora, o hasta que al insertar un palillo en el centro del tamal, éste salga limpio.
