In a recent interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Argentine soccer legend Kempes spoke highly of Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez, believing that he possesses a goal-scoring DNA that puts him at the same level as Mbappe and Harland. Despite the fact that the new Serie A season has already started and Lautaro has yet to score in his first two matches, Kempes is not worried about it and believes it is only a matter of time.
Kempes has a unique perspective on judging strikers with his status as a striker and his extensive goal-scoring experience. He believes that Lautaro is born with a natural sense of goal scoring, and even if he is currently experiencing a brief scoring drought, there is no need to worry too much. Kempes emphasized that every player goes through such phases and that Lautaro has proven his ability to persevere in difficult situations and change them.
In addition, Kempis also expressed his appreciation for Lautaro's contract extension with Inter Milan. He believes that Lautaro is an excellent No.9 player who has built a deep emotional foundation with the team, and pointed out that playing for Inter Milan can make players feel happy, and this emotional bond is more important than money. Kempes also looked into Lautaro's future, believing that he has the potential to win more titles as Inter's captain in the future.
Speaking about Inter's reinforcements, Kempes singled out the addition of Tomas Palacios. Although he didn't know much about the young defender before, Kempes believes in Inter's vision and thinks the Argentinean youngster will show great strength. At the same time, he also expressed his expectation for the striker combination of Lautaro and Marcus Thuram, believing that their tacit understanding and cooperation will bring more goals to the team.
Finally, Kempes also mentioned Inter's other reinforcements this summer, including Taremi, who has Champions League experience, and Joaquin Correa, who stayed in the team. He believes that these players from different countries have different languages, but soccer is their common language, and they will prove their value through actual performance.
