He additionally has Spanish citizenship considering that 2010. On July 5, 2003, he ended up being the youngest player to evolve in Primer Division, at the age of 15 as well as 35 days, beating the record of Diego Maradona dating from 1976. It is usually contrasted to Rosario many thanks to its technical attributes. He has fun with the name Run Ague on his jersey, the label Run provided him by his grandparents in his young people due to the fact that his physique made them think about the personality of the television collection of Japanese animation Kum.

At the international level, Ague stands for Argentina with less than twenty years during the Globe Cup of under 20 in 2005 as well as 2007, winning the 2 events and also the cost of the very best marker of the competition in the 2nd.

With the team A, Sergio Ague is presently the 3rd leading marker in the history of its option (42 objectives) before Diego Maradona (34 goals). He takes part in 3 Globe Cups, in 2010, 2014 as well as 2018, as well as at COPY US from 2011, 2015, 2016 and also 2019. In December 2021, at 33, Ague introduces its showing off resort after the discovery of heart arrhythmia throughout its passage to FC Barcelona.

Of course, he was not sent with the post office. And yet Auger had pushed the seal pushed in principle all talented Argentinians when they moved to Europe.

He could possibly be the new Maradona, but he had not been the first one. This expectation ended only with Lionel Messi — which is now the new Messi should follow.

Even before his one year older compatriot, with which he was to win the Junior World Cup in 2005, Sergio Leonel Auger del Castillo became what many of his friends had always dreamed of: football professional. In July 2003, this was, with just 15 years and 35 days. Nobody had been in the Argentine House ever been younger, in second place was replaced: Diego Maradona.

His grandpa calls him run

In the summer of 2006 Atlético Madrid invested more than 20 million euros in a subdued 18-year-old of Independent. Record again. Never had the Rojiblancos, at that time anything but a top team, had spent so much money for a player as for this early storm talent.

Augers dynamics as a hanging tip, its motion sequences thanks to a low body focus and the unpredictability of its precursors made quickly for further exclamations of the large name with the eight letters in the Spanish capital. Through his first hit for Atlético, with the hand, the parallels then rose almost in the ridiculous. You can think of whose daughter run, whose nickname of similarity comes from a cartoon character, should marry two years later.

Puerto was still rising as a teenager after the departure of Fernando Torres Gen Liverpool to Atlético possibly the most important player and helped a better average troupe through ever more impressive benefits to surprisingly large jumps. Where did we ever see that..?

Only in England Auger becomes a world-class player

As word literal heritage Mara donas, Run led Rojiblancos, together with storm partners Diego Forman, 2010 even an international success, to the Europa League title. His big breakthrough, however, only succeeded as other players who soon recreated similarities with Brazil's great midstorm Rosario.

In 2011, the Erich Manchester City had committed the 23-year-old Auger, which, despite his playing strength, had always accused to be cold enough in front of the gate. In the face of these allegations, England's goalkeepers were probably pretty Overall, Paddy Kenny from the Queen Park Rangers.

In the detention time of the last game of his first season shot Auger — and at Eminem O it is actually in no post-counting — man city to the first championship for 44 years. It was the birth of an association legend, which last year for year tens shot tough goals, which brought the Sky blues a whole decade many titles — except for the Champions League.

Maybe he was at the wrong club

While Robert Lewandowski in the Bundesliga shot the networks, in France Latin Ibrahimović towered and Luis Suárez or Karim Benzema as Spain's outstanding center outs were celebrated, Run Auger became the alderman on the island. Maradona conquered Italy, Messi did it in Spain and Auger in England. The numbers speak for themselves, said his ex-coach Pep Guardiola, present at the tear-rich press conference on Wednesday, one of the great Argentine.

But what seemed to be heavy equivalent, it was not very popular in many places. On the one hand, Augers stormed competitors for traditional world clubs such as Real Madrid, FC Barcelona or Bayern FC. On the other hand, he went off the great radiance of an Ibrahimović — not to mention the exceptional players Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

Sometimes you could win the impression that Sergio Auger, whose Barça change should finally have even sporting relevance, was always overlooked in world football a bit — and possibly continued to be overlooked a bit. Because he hit only for the Sheikh Club. Because he was more striker than starers. And his 260 goals in 390 games too objective shot.

But under these 260 hits, of which 259 may not really burn into the collective football memory, a mixed one, from which they are probably still talking forever in the motherland of football. Otherwise, this could only claim one of themselves.
