Biography of Sergio Aguero
Aguero was born in the suburbs of the capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires Quilmes, June 2, 1988. Sergio is one of the seven children of his parents. Mom was constantly raising children, and dad worked as a taxi driver, so there was not enough money. And the area where the family lived was considered a dysfunctional place. The only possible chance to break out of people from these places was football. And from his birth Aguero began to chase the ball in the yard day and night.
Due to his small stature, Sergio was constantly offended by older children. But he did not take revenge on them with his fists, but on a football box, when he beat them and left them in the cold. At age nine, Aguero managed to enroll in the football academy of the capital's Independiente club. From that moment he stopped skipping classes and did not miss a single training.
Since childhood, he was assigned the nickname Kun. This was one of the characters in Japanese cartoons that Sergio really liked. In fact, the hero's name was Kum Kum, but the younger brothers could not utter this word completely. They only got Kun. Even speaking in adult football, Aguero never gave up this nickname.
For an adult base team, Sergio made his debut at age 15. He became the youngest professional football player of his country, who went on the field in the match of the national championship. From the very beginning of his football career Aguero stood out on the field with excellent ball working techniques, fast speed and a killer hit from both legs. All these qualities allowed him to immediately become the main scorer of his native club. This attracted buyers from Europe.
So in 2006, Aguero transferred to the Spanish Atletico and immediately became the team leader. After the end of the first season, Sergio receives a prize for the Best Young European Football Player. With each new season, its performance is growing. At first it was six goals, and then 23 goals and so on. In 2008, Sergio was invited to the Argentinean Olympic team, in which he became the winner of the Olympics. It was then that he made friends with another legendary player - Lionel Messi.
Aguero in Atlético has become the best goalscorer for several years in a row. And in 2011 he transferred to English Manchester City for 38 million euros. It was a huge amount of money at the time. As part of the new club, Kuhn three times becomes the champion of England, and its effectiveness is simply amazing. For seven seasons in Manchester, Sergio scored an average of about 18 goals. Moreover, he has already become the team's top scorer in its entire history.
If everything is good in the club career of a football player, then Aguero never managed to win at least one real title in the Argentine national team, except for the Olympics. The best achievement was the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil. But then Argentina lost to the Germans in the main match of the tournament, and Sergio spent most of the games on the bench.
The new season of 2018/2019 as part of Manchester City Aguero began impressively. Already in the second round, he made a hat-trick and helped his team defeat Huddersfield. Of course, his team is the main favorite of the season.
