‘You will not play because you are fat’

Since retiring a bit earlier than expected due to health reasons, Sergio Aguero is now a frequent member of various TV shows and podcasts, where he talks about his career, interesting topics and his best friend Lionel Messi. After becoming a Manchester City icon with 5 Premier League titles, 6 Liga Cups, one FA Cup and 260 goals in 390 matches, his own family raised questions about Pep Guardiola’s relationship with the Argentinian. Aguero’s brother even said that the Spanish tactician never wanted the Argentinian in the squad in the first place. When we win, I’m a visionary. When I lose, I’m an idiotSince then, Aguero told the media he never argued with Pep, thus he didn’t have any problems, but emphasized that unless you are Messi, your name and current form doesn’t mean anything to City coach. Making an appearance in a popular show ‘El Chiringuito’s live stream’, Aguero also revealed Guardola’s obsession with player’s weight.  Former Barca coach never allowed players to have more than 80kg exactly, and the Argentinian experienced that at the beginning of his career in Manchester. Aguero: Everybody in England supports Manchester United“If your ideal weight is 79-80kg and you were 80 kilos and 100 grams you would be fined and you don’t play. But it can happen! You come across a little bit of chicken for example then you are going to be 50 grams over! Well, the first season we were between fourth and third and he said ‘I left you out because you turned up fat this week’. And what was I going to say? He was right… these things happen. He said it in a good way. And at this time I didn’t really have his confidence. But I was always very respectful to the coaches…” remembered the Argentinian. Aguero thinks Haaland will need time to adjust to the Premier LeagueMaybe one of the reasons for Pep’s obsession with kilos comes from a demanding sessions and game tactics. Guardiola’s teams like to press and City is no exception. Everybody has to do it, even the attackers, which is another thing Aguero had to learn while under Guardiola. “When I arrived, Guardiola asked me to press the centre backs a lot, and then I didn’t have oxygen to attack. I wasn’t used to press but Guardiola taught me the way to do it” said the Argentinian. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6767411##
