Sergio "Kun" Aguero

Hi Mr. Slamet...

I Ario. I want to tell you about Sergio Aguero for English assignment.

His full name is Sergio Leonel "Kun" Agüero del Castillo. He was born in Quilmes, Argentina on June 22, 1988. He's one footballer who plays as a striker. Aguero is a striker who is very good at playing, he was trusted by the coaches who coached him. He is an Argentinean. Career Aguero of Atletico Independiente Club, Club Atlético de Madrid, SAD, until he landed at Manchester City Football Club with a price of 38 million pounds in 2011. In the 2011-2012 season Aguero managed to show sharp when he became the third top scorer with 22 goals, following Robin van Persie (28 goals) and Wanye Rooney (26 goals). Aguero in the same year won the Premier League trophy. And goals that can not be forgotten by Aguero is currently a 3-2 win over Queen Park Rangers F. C. while in the final Premier League trophy and decisive. His goal in the 90+4 minute and his teammate goal Edin Dzeko in the 90+2 minute that made Manchester City lift the Premier League trophy in the 2011-2012 season, if there is no goal Aguero and Dzeko maybe their rivals (Manchester United F. C.) will lift the Premier League trophy that season.

 

Agüero's nickname "Kun," which features on his shirt, derives from his childhood and was first given to him by his grandparents. It came about due to a resemblance to the character "Kun Kun" from Agüero's favourite television programme as a child. The player himself has said about it "I have grown to appreciate it because it's unique. It's not everyday an athlete is nicknamed after a cartoon character!"

Agüero is married to Giannina Maradona, the youngest daughter of Argentine football legend Diego Maradona. On 19 February 2009, Giannina gave birth to a son, Benjamín, in Madrid.Maradona was there for the birth of his first grandson, while Agüero, then 20, missed Atlético's training session earlier in the day. Atlético offered their congratulations in a statement on their official website.

Agüero has a tattoo on the inside of his right arm, inscribed in Tengwar—a form of writing invented by J. R. R. Tolkien that was used by the Elves in his works. It transliterates roughly to Kun Agüero in the Latin alphabet. He also has a tattoo on his left arm with his son's name and date of birth.

  Agüero is a striker and is regarded as an all-out centre forward, but can also play as a second striker off another striker, which he often did at Atlético Madrid with Diego Forlán. Agüero has a diminutive figure with a stocky build, which has led to comparisons with fellow Manchester City striker Carlos Tévez and past strikers such as Romário and Diego Maradona. Some pundits go as far to say Agüero is Tévez's heir apparent at City and is superior to Tévez. His manager at Manchester City, Roberto Mancini, has compared Agüero to former Brazilian striker, Romário.

Agüero is characterised by agility, acceleration and strength, being described as "sharp and clever" by former Argentine player Osvaldo Ardiles. A view which is shared by his international captain Lionel Messi, who believes Agüero possesses "immense power, strength and an ­incredible work ethic." Combined with his close control and strength to keep the ball, he is described as a menace in the box.
