After Kylian Mbappé’s statements regarding politics and asking people to vote against the extreme right, the former Argentine national team player, Sergio “Kun” Agüero gave his opinion in a different way because he expressed that within a club there are different realities and defended the national team players
The Frenchman had said that young people can make a difference: “I am against extremes, they divide. There are young people who abstain, but their voice does change things. I want to be proud to defend a country that represents my values. This is more important than tomorrow’s game because the situation in the country is different. I believe in the values of diversity, tolerance and respect.
“I think there are people who are not aware of what is happening. I try to give a voice to those people of my generation. The situation means that, right now, I want to feel proud when wearing this shirt. There is no need to hide. They say you shouldn’t mix politics and sports. The country is in an important situation and I am against division“concluded the runner-up of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, who called not to vote for Le Penn.
Given this, Kun spoke in Urban Play and stated: “When I stopped playing I said: ‘Ready, I don’t care, now I’m going to say what I think. When you are in a club there are opinions that we have to keep to ourselves because perhaps it does not represent the club. You have to keep quiet about some things and you have to keep your opinions to yourself.”
It happens that, except LisanDro Martínez, none of the footballers spoke out for or against a political ideology. Then Kun added that, now that he no longer plays, he has “no reason to lie, I’m quite honest.”
