JAKARTA - Former Manchester City player, Sergio Aguero, was upset by the difficulty of visiting the Argentine squad at their camp at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The reason is to attract the attention of many parties.

Aguero came to Qatar as a supporter of the Argentine national team. He admitted that he had not met with Lionel Messi and his friends because he was asked to make an application first.

What he thinks is something strange. Aguero told ESPN, "I haven't seen the national team yet. Everything is a bit strange. You have to have a letter to get in."

"It sounds strange to me that it took three or four days to get it. I asked and was told that the decision came from above (the official), but I saw someone else being allowed in," he continued.

Aguero also questioned why he couldn't get the letter quickly. However, he didn't want to bother with it.

"I've been on the national team and knew they can make credentials for you quickly. I don't want to bother, I'll wait for everything to finish," said the former Argentine national team player.

I wanted to leave early, to wish them luck. The situation is rare. I've never made anyone's mistakes. I always behave well. Maybe there are people who don't like to be told bad things."

"It bothered me that other people arrived on the same day and suddenly they were there (the Argentine national team camp). I sent a message of kindness. If they don't want me to leave, that's okay, but tell me directly," he said.

Aguero actually got an offer to play a role in helping Albiceleste at the World Cup in coaching staff. However, he made the decision not to help.

"The invitation to be part of Argentina's staff is already on the table. I spoke with Chiqui (But, president of the Argentine Football Association) and I explained to him about my goal of enjoying my time," Aguero said.

The Argentine national team itself started their campaign at the Qatar 2022 World Cup with defeats. Ironically, they gave up 1-2 from the Asian team, Saudi Arabia, in the inaugural match.
