From sparring 'torture' to World Cup digs: Agüero's two barbs at Bielsa | OneFootball

The former striker said on his show La Casa del Kun that training sessions with Bielsa’s team were intense, and he recalled with humor: “I was 15 or 14 years old. We were training and he tells me, ‘You stick with Cambiasso.’ And Cuchu was going everywhere. Just imagine me, and I don’t even like running. I was there to score goals, not to follow Cuchu around.”

Besides remembering his early days with the Albiceleste, he also took aim at the coach over one of his decisions: He questioned the substitution of Federico Valverde during the draw against Spain, a result that left La Celeste with no chance of advancing to the round of 32.

“I didn’t like it one bit. I was watching the match and when he came off, I turned it off,” said Kun, who explained that he stopped watching the game after the midfielder was taken off. In Agüero’s view, Valverde should have stayed on the pitch at a moment when La Celeste needed to win to stay alive in the World Cup.
