Chapter 016: Aguero (2nd Update, Tang Sledgehammer Hammer Hammer Ten Thousand Rewards Plus Change)
Aguero, now just turned 17, grew up in a favela on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital, known as the cocaine capital. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Like Tevez, Aguero was introduced to football on a dilapidated pitch surrounded by drugs and violence – almost as soon as he learned to run, knowing that football might be his only chance to help him get out of this slum.
The 70-year-old remembers the first time he first met Aguero, Eduardo González, who was also the childhood coach of Aguero's father, Lionel Castillo: "He was 8 years old and he was already very special, he could easily throw off the kids who were older than him. It was under Gonzalez's tutelage that Aguero began to explore the football skills that "kill" everyone.
Speaking of which, let's take a look at the environment in which the teenager Aguero grew up: Aguero lived with his parents, his five brothers and two cousins in the infamous town of Eucalyptus, and the Aguero family was destitute, the whole family was crammed into a dilapidated log cabin, and there was no bathroom at home!
This place of addicts and thieves is so dangerous that when Aguero's other childhood coach Balbina takes a reporter to visit, he keeps nervously saying: "We've got to go back quickly, go back quickly!"
And the first time teenager Aguero encountered the opportunity to "escape from the slum" was when he was 9 years old. That year, Gonzalez brought him to Independiente and introduced him to his friend, Independiente Argentina's under-13 coach Rambote, who felt Aguero was too young and sent him to the under-11 team.
In just a few years since then, Aguero has magically risen from the club's eighth tier to the first team – he was just 15 years and 35 days old when he was promoted to the first team, breaking the record held by his father-in-law Maradona as the youngest player in the Argentine league.
***********
But don't think that Aguero's promotion from youth to first team was smooth sailing, as he ran into a lot of trouble, and the biggest obstacle came from his family – Aguero's destitute parents, who often asked Aguero to play wild football – the kind of pay-as-you-go game – where the younger could earn £30 a game.
So why were Aguero's parents so visionary? It's because Aguero's father had a lot of bad habits in the slums and was addicted to drugs, but he could do anything.
At that time, his initiation coach Gonzalez and youth team coach Rambot had subscribed to Aguero's "ownership" (that is, the "right to buy and sell" Aguero as a player), so they provided Aguero's family with food, medical care, and even Aguero's textbooks and bus tickets, hoping that this would allow the teenager Aguero not to be "blinded" by his father and to train and play football with peace of mind.
However, his father still asked Aguero to play wild football to earn money, and in the end, Rambot finally "couldn't take it anymore" and helped Aguero's family buy a house in Quilmes and bought a car for his father to drive a taxi to earn a living.
At this point, the teenager Aguero finally ended his slum life and started his gorgeous football career: he had already amazed the Argentine youth game when he was 13 years old, and the famous Boca Juniors Club was very interested in him and wanted to buy him for 320,000 pounds, but was rejected by Gonzalez and Rambote; at the age of 15, Aguero was successfully promoted to the first team of Independiente; now, only 17 years old Aguero is already the star of the Argentine Independiente, according to the original historical trajectory, in a year, Aguero, who is not yet 18 years old, will transfer to Atletico Madrid, with a transfer value of up to 23 million euros。
So, don't look at Aguero is only seventeen years old and has not yet landed in the Europa League, however, this youngster is not easy to dig.
Because Independiente Argentina sees Serivo Aguero as the team's greatest jewel right now.

In fact, Leon could have other options, after all, spending a lot of money to bring in a substitute player, which is a bit of a luxury.
However, Leon thinks about it more long-term, Inter Milan now has Adriano and Ronaldo in the team, Ronaldo is okay at the moment, and his attitude is good, Leon can 'treat' Ronaldo's condition, and a healthy Ronaldo will be terrifying.
The problem lies with Adriano, who is an absolute genius goalscorer, with a strong body, excellent technique, powerful impact, and a golden left foot, such a player, if only talent and physical capital, are the first in today's football.
However, Leon is well aware of Adriano's depraved history, and even Leon does not dare to pack a ticket to 'save' Adriano and prevent the Brazilian star from going to self-destruction according to his original history.
So, Leon needs to plan ahead, and Sergio Aguero is the replacement he has found for Adriano.
Of course, Leon will try to avoid Adriano's destruction, and if Adriano has really been doing well under his rule, Leon is not worried about Aguero falling into his hands, and he will not think that it is a loss-making deal.
Aguero's talent combined with Leon's [Eagle Wings] training skill development, Leon firmly believes that Aguero will mature faster and perform better than in his original plane.
Not to mention that Aguero's value will only continue to skyrocket in the future, and the transfer market will not worry about no buyers, that is, Aguero will stay in Inter Milan, and the trident of Aguero, Adriano, and Ronaldo, just imagine it, it's just picturesque.
Moreover, Leon has communicated with the top management of Inter Milan, and Inter Milan's scouts have also been following Aguero for a while, but Inter Milan has not made up his mind to make a move, the reason is that Aguero's value will not be low.
However, Leon expressed his appreciation and optimism for Aguero, and Leon's eye for people is also notoriously accurate, which strengthened Inter Milan's confidence in Aguero.
Moreover, Aguero will transfer to Atletico Madrid for 23 million euros in a year's time, so for Leon, if he wants to get Aguero, then this summer's transfer market will be his last chance, otherwise, waiting until next summer to bid with Atletico Madrid will only push up Aguero's value.
Aguero's transfer worth a year later is 23 million euros, thanks to the fact that in the following season, Aguero's performance is getting better and better, so the current Aguero, with one less season of experience, is not so valuable now.
However, 15 million euros is still needed!
Therefore, Leon is ready to use a transfer fee of about 15 million to snatch Aguero from the Argentine Independiente club, which has long planned to make a fortune from Aguero.
