At 7 p.m. Beijing time on December 15, Argentine striker Aguero, who plays for Barcelona, held a press conference on retirement at the Camp Nou. The 33-year-old striker, who is still in good competitive shape, announced his retirement in advance is directly related to his heart problems. As early as 2006, Aguero had undergone surgery for arrhythmias, and after transferring to Barcelona this year, he was replaced in a match with Alaves due to heart discomfort, and since then, under the advice of doctors, Aguero finally chose to retire.
Ahead of the press conference on retirement, Aguero's good friend Messi wanted to come from France to attend, but was stopped by Aguero himself, who gave the reason that he would be sad if Messi came. However, in the absence of Messi, Aguero was in tears almost the entire press conference, showing his reluctance to play football. The fans who watched the press conference in front of the screen also showed their heartache for Aguero, you know, before making such a helpless decision, Aguero can also score a goal against Real Madrid, no one will think that this goal will become his masterpiece.
But what most fans don't expect is that Aguero, who was forced to retire, is certainly worthy of heartache, and Laporta and Xavi, who attended the scene, are also victims of his inability to continue his career, and even said that they may be people who need more pain. After all, Aguero can continue his colorful life after retiring, including live games and traveling the world, but for Barca, Aguero is already the fourth world-class striker they have lost in just one and a half years, which is a huge loss for Barca, which is now struggling.
The first world-class star to leave camp Nou was called Suarez. The new La Liga MVP, who helped Atletico win la Liga last season, was notified by Barca's then-manager Koeman before the start of the 2020/21 season, citing the fact that he was no longer in the team's plans. The Uruguayan's initial destination was supposed to be Serie A giants Juventus, but because he cheated on the Italian exam, he ultimately failed to team up with Cristiano Ronaldo, and then Simeone's Atletico Madrid snatched Suarez and won la Liga with the world-class striker in the following season. It is worth mentioning that this is the second time that Barcelona has contributed to Atletico's victory, the last time was Villa.
The second world-class striker to leave Barca is Barcelona captain and Camp Nou King Leo Messi. Unlike The reason suarez left the team, messi left camp Nou and left the Parc des Princes stadium because the heavily indebted Barca could no longer afford his high salary, so Barca president Laporta chose to let go of the player who still has top ability. After Messi left, Griezmann was also sent back to Atletico Madrid on loan by Laporta, and Griezmann, who returned to the Wanda Metropolitano, has once again contributed to a steady performance so far this season, and the Barca career is two, if he is still at Camp Nou this season, perhaps the pressure on the red and blue on the offensive end will be much better.
At Atletico Madrid's Suarez, he scored 21 goals for the Sheets last season, including two for the latter to win la Liga. Griezmann, on the other hand, contributed seven goals and two assists to his home team after returning to Atletico, something that barca's current players can't do. As for Messi, although he did not score for Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, but relying on his five goals scored in the Champions League, Greater Paris eventually had a thrilling group qualification, while without his Barcelona, the humiliating group out had to play in the lower Europa League matches, and their prospects for the Europa League were equally dangerous without Aguero today. If these four players had not left, Presumably Barca would have been in a much better situation than it is now, and I have to say that they are really unlucky.
