Sergio Agüero responded to controversial statements by Zlatan Ibrahimovic | National teams

A month and a few days have passed since Argentina lifted the World Cup, possibly the last title for Lionel Andrés Messi as captain and leader of the albiceleste team. But, will it also be the last trophy that the Argentines lift in years? Well, Zlatan Ibrahimovic unleashed the controversy with some statements that led to the fact that they would not win anything else.

Sergio the ‘Kun’ Agüero has not been away from the fields since a heart problem was detected that made him retire from football when he had signed with FC Barcelona and had played just one or the other game as a blaugrana. The Argentine accompanied the national team in Qatar and even lifted the World Cup with his former teammates.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic with his typical statements and with the usual spiciness, hit the Argentine team hard, indicating that the albiceleste was not going to win anything after what was achieved in the World Cup in Qatar, in addition, he pointed out that, with the repetitive gestures of Emiliano Martínez, the provocation against the Netherlands, and other events left the squad in a bad light with negative behavior, something that was highly criticized by the former Manchester City striker, who faced him when the Swede was playing for Manchester United.

In the first instance, Sergio Agüero mentioned that Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s behavior was not good at all on the pitch, “let’s remember that you also behaved badly, right? I remember that we played against United. I was on the bench. You were going to play, you answered. Talking that they behaved badly, I think you are the least indicated. It seems to me that it is very bad milk to say that we are not going to win anymore “, and later, he gave a list of other chapters in which Zlatan is was involved while playing in Manchester.

“You are a fighter. I remember that you had a fight with Otamendi in a match between City and United. You argued with Pep Guardiola. I imagine that’s why he wanted to sell you from Barcelona. I suppose that to talk about Argentina behaving badly, you first have to look at your career to see if you behaved well. And I don’t think you behaved well”, Sergio Agüero exploded.

Sweden did not qualify for the World Cup in Qatar and in 2018 in Russia they failed to reach the quarterfinals when they fell 2-0 against England. For not participating in 2022, Sergio Agüero reproached him that he should be aware of his country and not of others, “I think that before worrying about Argentina, you could worry about your country, about your players, who are not even in the last World Cups. Could we think like that? They didn’t even qualify, but well, I don’t know. More than worrying about Argentina and talking like that… Of course, I think, as you think”.

Sergio Agüero maintained that he came in to defend his teammates and that is why he reacted as he did with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. “Did I kill Zlatan? He killed my teammates. He is more, able that you also talk to me because I was there. I feel like you threw me and now I’m throwing you. We are world champions, Zlatan, and you want to kill yourself. Messi is the best in the world, I’m sorry. And you were watching how the players who misbehaved raised the cup”.
