Sergio Aguero says he keeps in contact with the Manchester United forward Michael Owen and has followed his career since his time at Liverpool...
Manchester City’s man in form, Sergio Aguero has come out and said that he is a fan of Michael Owen since the striker’s early days at Liverpool when he made his breakthrough in club football and at the international level with
England as well. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841, Sergio Aguero’s home nation.
England eventually went out of the competition as they lost the match in question against the South American giants but Owen cemented his position as one of the most lethal strikers in world football. After spending a few fruitful
years at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, the Englishman was sent packing to Real Madrid by Rafael Benitez who brought a new style of play at Anfield.
During his time at Real Madrid, Owen was a consistent scorer off the bench but his career took a dive when he got injured during the 2006 FIFA World Cup and was never able to recover his fitness levels afterwards. Currently at
Manchester United, the former Liverpool man is injured but is set to make a comeback next month for the Red Devils.
Aguero said in his interview, "I’m not so much a fan of Liverpool, but one of the players who was my idol when I was a boy was Michael Owen. He was quite small and had an eye for goal, just like me. When Liverpool were winning
trophies, I was looking out for them because Owen was doing well.”
He added, "It’s ever since he scored for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 against Argentina in ‘98, although I wasn’t too happy at the time. I cursed him pretty badly for scoring that, but getting that goal didn’t stop me from admiring him."
Aguero revealed that he keeps in constant contact with the Manchester United striker and exchanges text messages with him on a regular basis. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 was unable to score in Manchester City’s latest 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur
as it was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ledley-King-c21859 brought him down inside the Tottenham penalty area to gift City a penalty kick.
