The poor performance of Argentina in the World Cup in Russia, in which it crossed the group stage with anguish and then fell eliminated in the second round against France, left a significant frustration because the individualities of that team allowed them to dream of something else. But in addition, an abysmal distance was exposed between coach Jorge Sampaoli and the squad, which was reflected even in attitudes on the field of play such as the absolute solitude of the DT in the celebrations of goals. This Wednesday, the journalist Martín Liberman recalled those days with strong accusations against Sergio Agüero, whom he warned that he planned to write a book about the World Cup in Russia and that after its publication it would make him "ashamed to go out."
In "La Oral Deportiva", on Radio Rivadavia , Liberman spoke of the distance that the players showed within the field with Sampaoli and it was extremely hard. "Do you know why, Agüero, he didn't celebrate for the side where you were? Because you made his bed, Dad!" He asserted without turns. And he added: "How are you going to celebrate for the side where you were, if you 48 hours earlier said to him: 'Move on, you are a donkey, sir. You are not up to the task and the team is arming us'?"
This Monday, Agüero had charged Sampaoli on Twitch for his celebration of Marcos Rojo's goal against Nigeria, which earned the qualification to the quarterfinals. The coach held his celebration in absolute solitude and was a symbol of what was happening with the team in those days.
Then Liberman went further: "Do you really want him to run for your side? For yours, who wanted to kick him out in the World Cup , who wanted to leave him without a job? What did they say to (Claudio) Wall to wear it? And that they managed to rise up like carapintadas , assemble the equipment and put it together by you? ", He shot.
"It is the first time in the history of world football in which a coach is present there only physically. Because you handled everything prior to that game! I am going to write a book in Russia and you are going to be ashamed to go out on the street" , warned the journalist. Will you keep your promise?
