Kempes: “Icardi should’ve been playing for the Argentine national team for a long time”

Argentine legend Mario Kempes spoke on Mauro Icardi in an interview with ESPN Radio: “I think Icardi deserved to be part of the Argentina national team a long time ago, Higuain is doing very well, but just with Juventus. He’s not scoring goals with Argentina. And ‘Kun’ Aguero, who is not playing very well now, is a similar case. There is no more players in that position, because Dybala plays behind the strikers. On the field Icardi always does a good job, what he does off it, I don’t care at all. What I do care is what he does for my team on the pitch. Even though Inter is not playing well right now, Icardi keeps scoring goals and the team made him captain. I don’t think players of the national team should be entitled to have an opinion about who is making the team and who is not, at least in my days it was like that. Today they seem to be the ones deciding about the roster.”
