Aguero: 'Haaland needs time to integrate at Man City'
"Haaland is a very important contract of Man City. His ability to hunt goals has been proven, through the parameters in the Bundesliga as well as the Champions League," Aguero told Stake on July 18. "An elite player like Haaland will know how to reconcile his style with the style of the club under Guardiola. It may take some time, as the original for me, but when I have integrated it, everything will be. Simpler".
Haaland was recruited by Man City for $ 63 million from Dortmund - where he scored 86 goals in 89 matches. The Norwegian striker received the number 9 shirt and was expected to fill the gap by Aguero.
In addition to strengthening Haaland, Aguero also said that Man City had enough stars to place Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling, after selling the duo to rivals in the Premier League, Arsenal and Chelsea. He said: "Jesus and Sterling are both important players in Man City's diagram. But the club currently owns a great squad and will be ready for a new challenge."
Aguero played for Man City in the period of 2011-2021, holding the club's record with 260 goals, winning five Premier League championships, a FA Cup, six British Federation Cups and three English Super Cups. Aguero's most memorable moment is a goal in the extra time, helping the Etihad's owner win 3-2 in the final round, and shock the Premier League championship in 2012 from Man Utd.
After joining Barca in the form of free summer last year, Aguero scored only one goal through five matches, with a total of 165 minutes to participate on the pitch, then retired because of the arrhythmia. In the Argentine shirt, he scored 41 goals after 101 appearances, winning the Copa America 2021.
