Barcelona striker, Sergio Aguero, on Wednesday announced he
is retiring from football.
Aguero confirmed this in an emotional press conference at
the Nou Camp, in which he appeared along with club president, Joan Laporta.
The 33-year-old broke down in tears before he was able to
utter a word.
“This conference is to communicate that I have decided to
stop playing football.
“I have decided to stop playing professional football. It is
a very difficult moment. The decision I have made, I have taken it for my
health. That is the main reason for my decision, for the problem I had a month
and a half ago.
“I was in good hands of the medical staff that have done
their best and told me that the best thing would be to stop playing,” Aguero
said.
The Argentine also revealed he made the decision one week
ago, as he struggled with a heart issue.
“I made that decision a week ago but I did everything
possible to have some hope but there wasn’t very much.
“I’m very proud of the career I’ve had. I’m very happy. I
always dreamt about playing football,” he added.
