Chance Quote by Mario Kempes
“When you're a player and you win the World Cup and other titles you don't get the chance to enjoy the moment because of the media scrum. You end up getting tired of it. But when the years go by and you look back on it all, then you understand just what it is that you achieved, that we achieved.”
