The Argentine forward Sergio Aguero, 33, has announced that he will retire from professional football due to his health problems, after a very successful career both in the Argentine national team and in Independiente, Atlético Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona.
“Kun” will not only remain in soccer history for all that he has achieved on the field of play, but he has also left a mark and will continue to do so off the field, with his so charismatic and mischievous personality, so then we will review great anecdotes that have him as the protagonist.
AND WHO ARE YOU?
Agüero told how it was the moment he met Lionel Messi, today one of his best friends in football. “One day we were eating with Leo at the youth team concentration and I did not know who it was. He was on my right, Ezequiel Garay in front, and Lautaro Formica, on my other side. They were talking about sneakers. And Leo said something like that in the United States … something like that I heard. And I thought ‘what about this …?’ And since I watched matches from Argentina but not from abroad, I asked him what his name was because I didn’t know him. He said ‘Lionel’ and I thought ‘oh, like me, almost’ (his middle name is Leonel), ‘But your last name?’ ‘Messi’, he replied, ‘Ah’, I said, as if nothing, and Formica tells me ‘you don’t know who he is?’ and I deduced, from the news that there was a Barcelona player, and I said to myself ‘this is it’. Already in the first training session I said to myself ‘this flies’. Afterwards, we started to laugh and we became friends and Miguel Tojo put us in the room together since 2005 ″. “He looked at me and looked at me and at one point he asked me ‘hey, and who are you?’ Kun was a character, he was 15 years old. It was like now, but worse still ”, remembered Messi.
MESSI AND KUN DOING NAUGHTY
“At that time we used to use the Internet at the hotel reception and the teacher (Gerardo) Salorio told us that at 23 we all had to be in the rooms, and Leo was sending an e-mail to someone in his family, and There were 3 minutes to go and I told him ‘let’s go because the teacher is going to fart us’. When we were leaving We saw a vending machine. I proposed to him to take us some french fries, he said ‘go ahead’. We arrived when 1-2 minutes had passed after 23 and Salorio was waiting for us at the door of the room. ‘Look what time it is.’ We both looked at the floor. I could see a lump and he asked me what I was wearing there. I had to pay a fine in euros and then we blamed ourselves, he because I wasted time wanting to get out of the machine, and I, because he was left over on the Internet”.
THE DAY HE WENT TO SEE BOCA BY RIQUELME
“I liked the way (Juan Román) Riquelme played,” Agüero says. “One day, my godfather told me ‘I’m a friend of Román, are we going to see him?’ It was a Tuesday and on Wednesday they were playing for the Copa Libertadores. ‘Let’s go to the Boca court,’ he insisted. ‘No, I’m not going to that court,’ he told him, but he kept saying that he was a friend of Riquelme, so I told my dad that I wanted to go see him and he said ‘well, go ahead, go ahead’, and I told him ‘but it’s Boca’s court’ and then he said ‘well, but don’t yell anything, huh? You have to go and shut up. ‘ We were in the preferential and I was quiet. I was looking at Riquelme, nothing more. When I met him later in the National Team, I didn’t know what to do, I remembered when I was going to see him play ”. On January 3, 2019, Manchester City beat Liverpool 2-1 by date 21 of the Premier League and one of the two goals of the “Ciudadanos” was converted by Agüero with a left foot. After that game, the forward’s phone was full of messages but one was very particular and funny. “It was from Román, and he told me ‘how bad you are. He even realized that I didn’t want to throw the ball there. “
THE FUN CONFERENCE ABOUT MASCHERANO
Press conference in Brazil before the 2014 World Cup final. They ask him if he knew what had happened to his teammate Javier Mascherano in the semi-final against the Netherlands (he opened the year by blocking a shot from the Dutchman Arjen Robben), he responded with grace. “I found out today at lunch, because we thought he had a contracture and he said ‘no, I said in the press that my anus opened’ and I thought ‘how is he going to say that?’ And, if it is the truth … It happens that defenders or midfielders usually happen because they play more to throw themselves to the ground constantly. It never happened to me, but several told me ‘yes, it happened to us several times’. It never happened to me but it hurts. That’s why I don’t jump “.
