Thinking back to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Aguero's words opened a window into the shadow behind that tournament. The chaos he said was not only the defeat on the pitch, but also the strife and chaos within the team. Imagine an opportunity on a big stage like the World Cup, where every player dreams of an opportunity that is so complicated by internal issues that is hard for anyone who loves football.
Aguero mentioned that the team has been mired in a series of problems since the accusations made by a female employee against the manager. The lack of communication and tactical discussion is fatal in any team, let alone in such a high-standard, demanding World Cup. Every player has to rely on their own experience and on-the-spot performance, which is obviously not enough. Football is a team sport, and without synergy, there is no possibility of victory.
When Sergio Aguero talked about losing to France and being eliminated, the expressions on everyone's faces, that mixed emotions of frustration and relief, I think every fan who watched that game could feel it. We are disappointed because we love Argentina and we love football. But in that moment, perhaps, like Sergio Aguero and his team-mates, we also felt a certain relief. Because it's not just the end of a game, it's the end of a painful experience.
Sergio Aguero's words remind us that football is much more than just 90 minutes on the pitch, there is more to it than just 90 minutes, there are so many more stories, emotions and challenges behind it. Players not only have to face opponents, but sometimes they also have to deal with discord and misunderstandings between their own people. This experience is an important lesson for the Argentine Football Federation and a warning to all football organizations and teams: success on the pitch can only be achieved if there is internal unity.
As ordinary fans, all we can do is continue to support the team we love, win or lose. At the same time, I hope that all teams can learn from the lessons, not only in terms of technique and tactics, but also in team building and management. Hopefully, in the coming games, we will see a more united and stronger Argentina team. We believe that as long as there is unity and cooperation, victory will eventually be ours.
