Just hours before Argentina vs. Saudi Arabia, Sergio Aguero, a former Argentine player who retired last year after being diagnosed with a cardiac arrhythmia, lashed out at the Argentine football officials for not letting him visit the team camp and meet his former teammates.
He mocked the AFA for not granting access to the camp, saying, “If they don’t want me to go, tell me to my face.”Always wholeheartedly supporting Argentina and this team, which represents us all. We are aware that they will give everything for this beloved shirt. And we will all walk together, as Leo [Messi] said,” he wrote on Twitter. He is in Qatar at FIFA’s request.
According to a report in the most popular newspaper in Argentina, “Clarin,” he continued to vent on his Twitch stream.
I wasn’t able to see the team yet. Still, let’s see…Strange things happen everywhere. As Clarin reported on Twitch, he stated, “It’s been about three or four days since When I see that other people get off the plane and they are given it right away.”
The fact that they do not provide you with a quick credential is odd. I was a member of the National Team, and they quickly issue you a credential. I am familiar with the AFA. That irritates me. I never did anybody wrong. I always acted nicely. It’s possible that some people don’t like it when I criticize them. And if they don’t want me to go, no problem; just tell me straight up.
Aguero also stated that the Spain national team had extended him an invitation to visit their camp, but he did not want to. Look at me traveling to Spain and not seeing my teammates.I just wanted to visit the boys to wish them luck, so thank you for inviting me. No, I won’t bother them for hours after the debut. He was quoted as saying, “It will be left for later.”
He stated that his Argentine players were not the issue. They are resting; I was there; it is not the same; they will play tomorrow; then comes stress, nerves, and anxiety; we want to remain calm; nobody wants to be disturbed. Massages, training, rest, and eating the following day.
When you play, you enter a process every three days. I understand them and am aware that leaving will result in nothing, but I feel like I’m causing them trouble. While I was there, they were following a different routine. He stated, “Everyone has their routine.”
