Aguero: It was really frustrating to lose to Tottenham in 2019. It was the year when Manchester City had the most hope of winning the championship

May 6th Aguero accepted an exclusive interview with the French media "Team" and talked about many topics about his experience in the Champions League and the Premier League.

Which player left the deepest impression on you in the Champions League?

"I have met a lot of players. If Messi and Ronaldo weren't counting, the one that impressed me the most was Xavi, who never conceded the ball. As a forward, I overlapped with his area because I needed to cover the middle and put pressure on the opponent's defense. What's impressive about Xavi is that you never know how he would pass the ball and what decisions he would make, he made the decisions very fast and very smart."

Which is your best match in the Champions League?

"A very important group match, we had to win to ensure we advanced to the knockout stage. That game was Bayern (November 25, 2014), and their coach was Guardiola. We were running wildly throughout the game, and in the end I scored two goals in the last five and six minutes of the game (85th and 91st minutes), completed a hat-trick, and successfully advanced 3-2."

The most angry thing in the locker room has ever been

"It's not about the Champions League, it's in the Premier League, and it's related to Mancini. We lost 0-1 to Arsenal on April 8, 2012, which left us 8 points behind the top Manchester United, but this is just one of a series of events that happened later. In the locker room that day, only If someone speaks, Mancini will be furious and may even hit people. No one dares to speak because he may beat all 25 people in the locker room. But when we saw him the next day, he greeted us cheerfully and said, 'Hi guys! How are you? 'Mancini is such a weirdo. He just doesn't like failure. The previous coaches may indeed be more irritable. Later, when Pellegrini and Guardiola were coaching, if they did not perform well in the first half, they wouldn't get angry at you because they knew that this might make the team's morale lower. Nowadays coaches are more inclined to encourage players, and they will tell you: you play well and cheer you up. "

Which stadium do you like to play the most? Which stadium do you like the most?

"I always like to play at Manchester City's home court. I know that stadium well and can even accurately calculate the distances of each corner of the stadium. When you play at your own home court, you can control everything better, your vision will be different, you will know how to stand faster to avoid offside, and everything will be more comfortable. In England, most stadiums are difficult to play because they vary in size, vary in width, and are very close to the audience, which will greatly affect your reference. And of all stadiums, the most complex one is Liverpool's home court. You can ask any player who has played there. The stadium is very strange, you will feel uncomfortable there, and it is difficult to explain why."

Which Champions League defeat makes you the most sad?

"Of course it was that final (0-1 Chelsea, May 29, 2021), although I didn't play much in that season because I just recovered from injury. But what really frustrated me was losing to Tottenham in the quarter-time knockout round (2018-19 season, away from the first leg and 4-3 out in the second leg). It was the year we had the most hope of winning the Champions League, and if we advanced, we would face Ajax and then Liverpool. I was in great shape at the time and scored a lot of goals, but in the end, Llorent accidentally scored the ball with his hips because of a corner kick, which led to us being eliminated."
