Kun Agüero, happy to continue wearing the red-and-white be the idol of Atleti's fans
The striker, very identified with Atlético
Atlético de Madrid couldn’t have given their supporters better news. The contract extension of Sergio Kun Agüero has filled all of those who form part of the ‘rojiblanco’ family with satisfaction. The Atleti fans will continue to enjoy the magic and craftiness of a unique striker. With this contract extension, the Atleti organization gives continuity to its sporting project. Keeping its main players is key to this project and Kun Agüero has become the reference point of the team since his arrival at the Madrid side. In this case, the Club keeps one of the best forwards in the world and a target of the best clubs in Spain and Europe.
Sergio Kun Agüero has performed extremely well since his arrival at the Atlético organization, and in the past few seasons the Argentine has solidified himself as a top-quality forward and a huge asset to the club. Agüero has stood out as a skilled, different and fearless player who is indifferent to the difficulty of circumstances or opponent, unique in his dribbling skills and tremendous in his finishing.
Kun has grown as a footballer and as a person in the red-and-white jersey of Atlético. After starting out his career at Independiente de Avellaneda (Argentina), the player signed with Atlético de Madrid. After he spent his first season getting acclimated to the Spanish league under then Manager, the Mexican Javier Aguirre, Sergio Agüero was able to find a spot in the heart of ‘rojiblanco’ supporters with memorable performances which placed him among one of the chosen few of the Calderón and which turned the chants of ‘Kun, Kun’ into a war cry and, also, acknowledged the devotion and talent of the player.
His play during the Under-20 World Cup in Canada in 2007 was unforgettable. There, he raised the winner’s trophy with the Argentina National Team and claimed the top-scorer award of the tournament, in addition to being named most valuable player of the competition. Also with his national team, he won Olympic Gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, which was just a stopping point on the unstoppable path of this footballer, who mixes youth and experience in a perfect blend.
With the news of his extension, Atlético de Madrid and all of its fans will be able to enjoy his artistic way of playing. One of his most highly remembered games with the ‘rojiblanco’ jersey was in a match against F.C. Barcelona on 1 March 2008. After falling behind 0-1, two goals from Agüero, an assist on a Maxi Rodríguez goal and a penalty also created by him, and which was slotted home by Forlán, turned around the final result. Atlético thus beat the all-powerful Barcelona squad managed by Pep Guardiola and everyone, including the press, praised the stellar performance of the Atlético ‘10’.
Sergio Agüero has always been one of the fan favourites due to his dedication and commitment to the institution and the team’s interests. By displaying his complete companionship he has been able to play for his squad and prioritize the group interests of the individual team members. Last season was one of the happiest for this diminutive footballer. Atlético were playing in the Europa League after being knocked out of Champions League and were proclaimed champions after beating Fulham F.C. by the score of 2-1. This moment was undoubtedly one of the most incredible for this footballer. However at the start of the 2010/2011 season, they repeated the feat by winning the European Super Cup over Inter Milan, 2-0, where Agüero tallied the second goal.
This very season, on 11 December 2010, he played in his 300th career match (amongst all competitions played with Independiente, Atlético de Madrid and the different levels of the Argentina National Team) against Deportivo de la Coruña, with the game ending two-nil in favour of Atlético and with Kun netting both goals.
It’s hardly surprising that Kun Agüero and Atlético de Madrid have decided to extend their working relationship. The striker has become identified with the team, in which he is a benchmark on the pitch not only for his athletic quality but also for his attitude and leadership capabilities. Although the Atleti ‘10’ has had many experiences with this jersey, he still has plenty to offer to those supporters who have always shown special affection for him.
