Kun Agüero participated this Friday in a talk with F90, the ESPN cycle, in advance of what will be his presence at La Noche Amarilla, the traditional event organized by Barcelona de Guayaquil before the start of the season and in which he always an international star is invited, in this case him. In the interview, the former footballer of the Argentine team left several definitions, especially related to his friend Lionel Messi.
The top scorer in the history of Manchester City was consulted about the statements made on Thursday by Juan Román Riquelme, who explained that a common mistake in football is to make Lionel Messi angry, because in those cases the Ten plays even better than what usually does. El Kun agreed with this point of view and revealed that something similar used to happen in practices for the Albiceleste team. “Don’t make Leo mad… a lot of defenders who come up against him try not to make him mad because he makes you mad, he gets mad at the ball. We live it in training, where you prick him a little, ready he scores 10 goals in two minutes in a small game, ”he revealed.

In addition, he assured that this was very positive for Lionel Scaloni’s team in Qatar and that even that was one of the keys for him to win the trophy: “In this World Cup, not only with the Netherlands, but after Saudi Arabia ( defeat 2-1 in the debut), Leo perhaps got angry with himself and said ‘here I am and I am in charge here+’, and he began to lead the team. In each situation he was there and he got angry and continued and that made us win the World Cup”. On the other hand, he assured that the 26 soccer players who established themselves in the World Cup are still not aware of what they achieved: “They won’t be until they stop playing soccer, then you realize the things you achieved. I now realized what I achieved at City and Atlético”.
In turn, he was asked about his opinion about the comments of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who severely criticized the players of the Argentine team for their behavior during the World Cup in Qatar and maintained that none, with the exception of Messi, won or will win something relevant in his carrer. Agüero had already targeted the Swede in streaming, but he did it again on ESPN: “Zlatan believes that because of his statements he is more important than everyone and he says that he played at a high level, we all did that and he was one of the first that on the field sought to generate controversy. He is the least likely to say that, he was the first to seek controversy. He used his provocation to distract the rivals or for the defenders to react and expel them, well… we played our role, Argentina is a team that was always to score with a lot of attitude and not give up the ball, that’s not behaving Wrong, that’s reading the game.”

The coach of the Argentine team was the protagonist of an exciting scene after beating France in Qatar. “It was a very nice hug,” he said.
Lastly, the former Independiente goalscorer asked Lionel Messi not to retire and to continue in the Argentine team for several more years: “If he continues with this routine, I think he can easily reach (the 2026 World Cup), in the end it’s all from the head, from the mentality. But you never know, out there he wants to relax and he’s tired and you have to respect him. But for now he enjoys himself. But taking care of yourself can… it’s three more years. In this World Cup he showed that being physically fit can be done ”.
