The controversy over Sergio Agüero's gesture when taking a linesman by the shoulder in the middle of the match between Manchester City and Arsenal, for the Premier League, continues in England.
And while Pep Guardiola, Kun's coach, did not want to be left out, in England they say that the forward
will not be penalized
.
Without hesitating and making his point of view clear, the Spanish DT showed his discomfort when asked about this situation in the game.
"Could you briefly evaluate what happened in the first part, when Sergio was seen touching the shoulder of the linesman?" Asked one of the journalists.
And the coach was blunt: "Come on,
Sergio is the nicest person I've ever met in my life. We can't discuss this.
Look for problems in other situations, not in this one, let's go."
He could so easily have gone with the safe and cliched 'ONE of the nicest' but no, #Guardiola had the absolute balls to categoicaly call Sergio #Aguero 'The Nicest Person I've Ever Met In My Life' 😂👏

The clock showed 41 minutes of the first half.
Mahrez was pressing high, almost in the corner, the departure of Gabriel Magalhaes, when suddenly Agüero appeared on the scene to double the mark and the Brazilian defender of Arsenal came out of trouble by bouncing the ball off the Argentine forward, who gave the impression that he had one foot on the line and the other off the court.
Linesman
Sian Massey-Ellis
marked the side for Arsenal and there
Kun
exploded
against the assistant: she faced him, said several things and ended up taking her by the shoulder inexplicably.
The linesman did not like the attitude and immediately took her hand off her.
The situation was simply there, and Agüero got away from the yellow card.

As published by
The Guardian
this Sunday
, Agüero "will
not face any retrospective action
for putting a hand on the assistant Sian Massey-Ellis's left shoulder, because PGMOL, the entity that brings together the referees, does not consider it an aggressive or threatening action" .
In his return to the title,
Kun
played 65 minutes in Guardiola's team against the
Gunners
(he was replaced by Gündogan).
And it was the Argentine who took command in the attack that ended with Sterling 1-0.
Now it will be necessary to see if before the scandal unleashed more than anything in the social networks, the Federation (FA) takes action on the matter and opens a file to the forward of the "Citizens", something that can make him lose some games of the Premier League.
Will there be a penalty?
