- FIFA: Aguero on Argentina's World Cup chances, his icon Maradona and his favorite World Cup memories

LONDON, Oct. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With just 30 days to go until the World Cup, many think of their country's performance at this year's World Cup, but also fondly remember the editions earlier in the tournament.

The World Cup has always been a stage that has created and cemented legendary status, and Sergio Agüero, the former Albiceleste star striker has shared his thoughts on the players and moments that have brought his nation together, and his expectations. for the current team as it prepares for another memorable campaign.

What do you think of Argentina's chances at the next FIFA World Cup in Qatar?

"In this World Cup, Argentina is looking very good. Since Lionel Scaloni took over as coach, they have been very strong. They have changed the system that Argentina had used for years. Argentina was always a team that liked to have lots of possession and attacking a lot.

"In their new system, the new coach doesn't necessarily want them to have as much possession, but wants them to be much more organized, and that's why Argentina is now in much better shape than in previous tournaments."

"So I think Argentina is going to be very strong, but we always like to be calm and keep working to achieve our goal. I don't know how players from other countries experience it, but when Argentina plays the first match of the World Cup, we have in our heads that the whole country is watching".

"I think that any country that faces Argentina is going to have a difficult time."

Argentina has produced many icons of this tournament. Who are the people who have most inspired you and the country?

Yes, Argentina has always produced great soccer icons. We all know Maradona, who was an icon in Argentina, for all of us, since we were young, especially when it came to the World Cups.

Perhaps not many of us were able to enjoy what he did at the clubs he played for, but when he played for Argentina in the World Cups or in any tournament organized by FIFA, I don't know how to explain it. It was as if Argentina were his number one club. That motivated all Argentines to put on the Argentina shirt and support the team for life.

What are your most important memories of the World Cups you have played?

"Being at a World Cup, with everything and the way it is organized and what a World Cup is, the truth is that it is an experience that you will never forget. I will always tell everyone that what FIFA does in the World Cup is something that, in my opinion, cannot be repeated anywhere".

"As for my best memories. Well, my first World Cup, it's something every player dreams of; being able to share it with Messi is also something I'll always remember."

"Then in Brazil, we did a good job in the World Cup. From a football point of view, that World Cup did not go as I expected for me, due to many different factors, which I had been struggling with that year, but mainly with physical problems. So the only thing I want to remember from that 2014 World Cup is the people and the group that came together during that World Cup."

"And in the last World Cup, I think what I will always remember are my two goals, the last two that I scored. I think that is the most beautiful memory and that I will never forget for the rest of my life, because the impact that the FIFA World Cups in someone's career is something that cannot be repeated."

"Then I managed to score my first World Cup goal. In the end, I got another, but I will always remember those two goals at the World Cup in Russia."
