Aguero may follow Messi’s lead
Sergio Aguero has admitted he could follow the lead of Argentina captain Lionel Messi and retire from international football.
Aguero claims several players including himself are considering their international future after losing the final of the Copa America on penalties to Chile for the second straight year.
Argentina’s record goal-scorer Messi, who blazed over the crossbar in the shootout, announced his decision shortly after the final whistle in New Jersey on Sunday night.
“The likelihood is that Messi is not the only one that will leave the national team,” said Aguero, who lost his third final with Argentina.
“There are several players like me that are evaluating whether or not to continue.”
The Manchester City forward, who replaced Gonzalo Higuain in the 70th minute, was hugely disappointed after Argentina failed to end their 23-year trophy drought at senior level.
