'Tell me to my face.' Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has become embroiled in a 2022 FIFA World Cup spat with the Argentine Football Association. 😳 🇦🇷 More here! ➡
The South American giants got off to the worst possible start at the World Cup after going down to Saudi Arabia 2-1 in their Group B opener on Tuesday.The Albiceleste were widely expected to win the match given that they were unbeaten in 36 matches and rank almost 50 places above of their opponents on the FIFA rankings.
While the two-time World Cup winners were disappointed with the result, their former striker Aguero was left incensed by the fact that he was not allowed access the team's training base in Qatar, despite being in the country to support the side. "It sounds strange to me that it takes three or four days to arrange. I asked and was told the decision has come from above"It's strange that they can't give me the right credentials quickly. I've been in the national team and know they make a credential for you quickly."I'm going to wait for everything to finish. I wanted to go earlier, to wish them luck. The situation is rare.
