Sergio Agüero spoke about the World Cup, the Argentina national team, Lionel Messi and joining FC Barcelona.
Agüero was forced to retire from football in December of 2021 as he had to stop playing due to health reasons. One of the greatest strikers of his generation, Aguero had several memorable moments in every shirt he wore.
Prior to winning the Copa America with the Argentina national team, he left Manchester City and joined FC Barcelona, which would be the last club he would represent. Speaking in an interview with Radio 10 in Argentina, Agüero spoke about several topics. One of which was the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Here is what he had to say:
“I’m going to the World Cup in Qatar. We are going to have a meeting this week. I want to be there. The idea is for me to be incorporated into the coaching staff, I spoke with Scaloni and Tapia.
“The desire to win the World Cup is there. The team is very confident, Lionel Scaloni found the group.”
In regards to joining FC Barcelona from Manchester City:
“I didn’t go to Barcelona for the money, I wanted to play next to Leo (Messi).”
Regarding first meeting Lionel Messi:
“I was with the U17 team and we were training with the U20 and Leo was there. I didn’t know who he was. I started to pay attention and I asked him what his name was. He said Messi. That’s where I met him.”
About Argentina winning the Copa America and Lionel Messi:
“Messi was relieved after the Copa America. It was something we were looking towards for a long time.”
About the French media attacking Lionel Messi:
“How are the French media going to kill Messi, Leo played well. Were they watching the game with their backs turned?”
He also spoke about his son:
“Benja has the stuff of a footballer. He’s right footed, he’s a playmaker. He has a bit of Kun and a bit of Maradona.”
And about being a kid:
“When I was 12 years old, I went to watch Boca Juniors to see Juan Román Riquelme. As a kid, I wanted Javier Saviola’s boots.”

Simeone moves good today, scored an offside goal, Angel Correa form is hot, supersub goal, he scored a brilliant bicycle volley in midweek which was suspended cause a fault before that. De Paul was red carded, but they will start vs MU.
A correa can’t stop scoring.
Watch Watford vs Villa. Buendia was OK, delivering some good simple passes but was unable to do anything dangerous.
Emi Martinez was superb. 2 world class saves otherwise it would have been 0-3 for Watford.
Now will watch Cuti vs City.
I wrote 4 months ago that they will probably bring aguero to the tournament as part of the coaching staff. I said then that it’s a great idea and I am happy they are actually going to do it.
Messi will always give an edge to any team, PSG and Argentina going to shine this year.
Left wing is becoming problem, can not trust N. Gonzalez,Ocampus and J. Correa.Out of these three only N. Gonzalez looks good for NT but his passing and shooting is below average his most goals are only headers needs to find a good Left Winger.
Dont worry Papu can play on LW
Nico is not great but good. He can be used as a late sub in group stages to press the tired defense. If scaloni uses maria as a super sub then Papu should start in the left wing. This tactics could be useful against opponents such as Spain.
Buendia can play in left wing.
No Nico is a great player overall…..
Nico haters make no sense to me, the kid was immense for Copa and was the most effective Left Winger we tried.

Wow, Kun’s son Benja; ‘a little bit of Maradona and little bit of Kun Aquero’. What will be if he grows like his father and grandfather. Superb combination of Super Kun and great Maradona will be playing. Reborn ! Truly a blessing for Argentina.
Alario got a full 2nd half after a long time. And he scored a goal. Good finish. If the limit is 26 players then Alario should be considered for the back up of lautaro.Atleast for next 2 qualifiers he should be tested if he maintains the good shape.
I always like Alario; he can be a good subs for attackers; deserved the call from N/T
Makes sense. With a 26man squad now possible in WC, scaloni has the luxury of having a true CF backup sub. Its cld be 3gk+8defenders+7mf+8attackers. Papu counts in midfield & 8 in attack- it cld be messi, dimaria, lautaro, nicog, a correa, dybala, alvarez, a backup pure No9.
Last season Alario had an v good scoring frequency for a substitute. He & colombia’s muriel arguably had the best scoring frequency last season in a sub CF role (above 1000mins) in europe. Hope he roles into a good form post the injury break. Other cf options like simeone, boye, gaich look far away unless simeone brings back his incredible early season form. He has not scored in last 2 months.
Personally, I think the best backup to Lautaro is Simeone. Their playing styles are very similar and he is having a solid season. Simeone is garra.
Yes for what these french medias attacking Messi? 🤭. May be he played only like a human not an alien. Aguero is pin point there. If Messi had scored that penalty 90% of these criticism would not have occurred.
They knows only about perfume not football
Cleanball lol yeah if Aguero is saying Messi played good probably he played good…..He is a professional at least
Super Kun, that infectious smile of yours 🙂 You ARE missed my Brother.
