Sergio Aguero is the most famous Argentine footballer, who became famous for his striking exploits as part of Atletico Madrid and English Manchester City. What is interesting about the athlete's biography and personal life?
Biography of Sergio Aguero
Aguero was born in the suburbs of the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires Quilmes on June 2, 1988. Sergio is one of his parents' seven children. 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 get out of these places was football. And from birth, Aguero began to play the ball in the yard day and night.
Due to his small stature, Sergio was constantly offended by older guys. But he took revenge on them not with his fists, but on the football box, when he beat them and left them in a fool. At the age of nine, Aguero managed to enroll in the football academy of the capital's club "Independiente". From that moment on, he stopped skipping classes and did not miss a single workout.
Since childhood, he was nicknamed 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 pronounce this word completely. All they could do was Kun. Even when playing in adult football, Aguero never gave up this nickname.
Sergio made his debut for the senior team at the age of 15. He became the youngest professional footballer in his country to enter the field in a national championship match. From the very beginning of his football career, Aguero stood out on the field for his excellent technique of working with the ball, fast speed and a lethal blow from both feet. All these qualities allowed him to immediately become the main scorer of his home club. This attracted buyers from Europe.
So in 2006, Aguero moved to the Spanish Atletico and immediately became the leader of the team. After the end of the first season, Sergio receives the prize for the Best Young Player in Europe. With each new season, his performance is growing. At first it was six goals, and then 23 goals, and so on. In 2008, Sergio was invited to the Argentine Olympic team, in which he became the winner of the Olympics. It was then that he struck up a friendship with another legendary player - Lionel Messi.
Aguero in Atlético has been the top goalscorer for several years in a row. And in 2011 he moves to English Manchester City for 38 million euros. It was a colossal amount of money at the time. As part of the new club, Kuhn becomes the champion of England three times, and his performance is simply amazing. For seven seasons in Manchester, Sergio has scored an average of about 18 goals. At the same time, 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 in the Argentina national team Aguero did not manage to win at least one real title, except for the Olympics. The best achievement was the 2014 World Cup final 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.
Aguero started the new 2018/2019 season with Manchester City impressively. In the second round, he scored a hat-trick and helped his team defeat Huddersfield. Undoubtedly, his team is the main favorite of the season.
Personal life of Aguero
Sergio decided to connect his fate with the daughter of the legendary football player Diego Maradona Zhanina. They got married back in 2008, and the next year they had a child - boy Benjamin. Four years later, the family broke up, and Aguero began dating Argentine singer Karina Tejeda. But at the same time, Kuhn does not forget about raising his son and devotes a lot of time to him.
