Leopoldo Jacino Luque is separated from his life at 71. Argentina's former world champion, world champion in 1978, was hospitalised after being touched by COVID-19. His condition was heavy, and in recent days he was in intensive care.
The author of four goals in that world, Luque, was noted for his class, and in Argentina, he does not hesitate to say that today there is no attacker like him in their nationals. A classy mix of strength, which must be remembered with homesickness.
Luque was part of River Plate, a team with whom he was pronounced five times champion. Born on May 3, 1949, in Santa Fe, he was following in the footsteps of his father, who had been a biker.
At his first meeting with the ball, however, he fell in love and later became a football player, career - career - and playing with the Argentina national side of Mario Kempes and many other champions.
Oktapodi, the nickname he received from Americo Gallego, played 45 matches with the Argentina national and scored 22 goals. In the Cup of America in 1975, he was also declared the best goalist of the tournament.
