Argentina Need To See Sergio Aguero In A Bigger Role

The striker has been in sublime form over the years for Manchester City and his thundering strike against Iceland outlined his confidence. Aguero gave his nation a deserved lead but couldn’t contribute much thereon after. The team’s lack of creativity saved him enough leisure to roam in the final third with not much to do. The opposing defenders appeared to be unbeatable against a striker lacking physicality.

Therefore, the forward needs to do what he is best at. He needs to be that false-nine striker and drag as many defenders as he can out of their positions.

His movement has been a key to the team’s success at club level. At the Etihad, his reading of the game and movement causes enough troubles for the opposition. Some similar approach needs to be adopted by the manager here if he is willing to stick with Aguero as the centre-forward.

Moreover, this would eventually free up space forward for players like Lionel Messi, Maximiliano Meza or Lucas Biglia to exploit. The player is one of the world-class forwards in the business and he needs to be used like the one here. The 30-year-old could prove to be a key in Argentina’s journey in this competition.
