At 19:00 Beijing time on December 15, Aguero officially announced his retirement, because his heart problems made it difficult for him to risk playing again and bet with his life. This article will use words to review the Argentine star's football journey, perhaps the most known period is his days at Manchester City, but for atletico Madrid fans, he was already a hot potential star in Spain.
Back when he was young, Aguero joined the famous Argentine team Argentina Independence at the age of 9, and in 2003 he broke the history of becoming the youngest player to play at the age of 15 years and 35 days, and the former record holder was his former father-in-law, Argentine king Maradona. There should be many fans who know that Aguero's alias is "KUN", it turned out that he borrowed a friend's Japanese manga "Soccer Boy" when he was a child, and Aguero deeply admired the protagonist of the manga, Big Empty Wing, and even turned the name of Big Air Wing in the Argentine version of "KUN" into his nickname. His brilliance attracted the attention of the major European giants, and finally he came to Atletico for 20 million euros and officially stepped onto the big stage of Europe. At a young age, he put on the team's No. 10 jersey, which shows how much the team attached importance to him at that time.
His road to Atletico can be described as smooth, accompanied by Fernando Torres and Diego Fran, two top scorers, allowing him to become the main force of the team step by step from a young rising star, but because the strength of the team at that time was not as good as it is now, most of the time hovered between the Europa League and the Champions League. On 28 July 2011, Aguero officially joined Premier League giants Manchester City from Atletico Madrid for 45 million euros, signing a five-year contract until 2016, wearing the number 16 shirt.
Playing for Manchester City for ten years is definitely the peak of his life, in addition to the Premier League Golden Boot goalscorer and other awards, but also to help the team win the Premier League championship many times, whether under the coaching of Roberto Mancini, Guardiola and other famous coaches, he will always be the team's inevitable selection of forward candidates. I believe that the most memorable picture for him is the goal against Queens Park Rangers to establish the Premier League title, in addition, he also used the goal number to prove that he is a natural goalscorer, scoring 184 goals in 275 games, the goal rate is amazing, making him the most successful Premier League goalscorer in the past decade.
Although Aguero's life seems to be beautiful, he has encountered many obstacles at the end of his career in recent years. At the end of his performance for Manchester City, due to the impact of injuries, his chances of playing were greatly reduced, laying the foreshadowing of his departure from the team, and his 32-year-old was still a playing period, but the years of hard work had already scarred him, and often failed to play in a hundred percent state. Last season, he had the opportunity to "fulfill his dream" for the team - to win the Champions League, but it backfired, and he eventually lost to Chelsea in the final and failed to achieve his goal for the team before leaving the team.
Coming to Barcelona this season, he has attracted the attention of many fans just after joining, in addition to whether he can play with his friend Messi, his joining seems to be an important step for the team to revive the dynasty. Unfortunately, under the financial constraints of La Liga, Messi is difficult to stay in the team, and even Aguero's own registration is also a problem, and in the end, thanks to the salary reduction of the team's old ministers, Aguero can successfully stay in the team. However, at the beginning of the season, due to an old problem in his right leg, he once again had to recover from an injury, and it was not until October that he could play for the team for the first time, and there were rumors that Barcelona intended to terminate his contract early to reduce the financial pressure on the team.
In the end, the team was still willing to wait for his comeback, but once again playing revealed his potential physical problems with mental irregularities, and the home game against Alaves Athletic suddenly had a strange appearance in the second half of the first half, appearing to have difficulty breathing, and after the team doctor's governance, he could finally leave the field on his own. But since then, there have been rumors that Aguero may decide to retire early for his own health and bid farewell to the green field.
Who would have thought that a generation of Argentine stars would only usher in the biggest challenge at the end of their careers. In any case, good health is the most important thing.
