Kun Agüero não se esqueceu como se faz para balançar as redes e muito menos perdeu seu faro de gol, mesmo ficando por quatro anos longe dos gramados. Nesta segunda-feira, o atacante marcou em sua estreia pela equipe sênior do Independiente, da Argentina, em clássico contra o Racing.

Na jogada, mostrou sua habilidade para deixar o marcador para trás e bater colocado com o pé direito. A partida terminou empatada com três gols para cada lado.
Veja o lance:
— Perdi seis quilos e meio, comecei a fazer mais exercício, padel e futebol para me manter bem. Obviamente, já estou mais velho e voltar a jogar significa que tenho de voltar a treinar. Mas, posso divertir-me e a minha saúde está ótima — falou o argentino a TyC Sports após o confronto.
Agüero, que se aposentou do futebol profissional devido a problemas cardíacos, voltou a vestir as chuteiras e a camisa do clube onde nasceu, e a notícia deixou os fãs enlouquecidos. A entrada de Agüero no elenco +35 foi confirmada oficialmente no Instagram do clube de Avellaneda.
Última partida de Kun Agüero
Esta não será a primeira partida de Kun Agüero pelo Independiente, após sua aposentadoria do futebol em dezembro de 2021 enquanto jogava pelo Barcelona. O ex-atacante de 36 anos retornou brevemente no ano passado para uma partida de lendas, mas seu tempo em campo foi limitado devido a uma luxação no ombro esquerdo. Agüero também participou de um torneio de futebol de sete nos Estados Unidos em junho de 2024.
A notícia do retorno de Agüero, que disputou sua última partida profissional pelo Independiente em 2006, contra o Rosario Central, se espalhou pelo mundo, com vários veículos de comunicação internacionais se concentrando na partida desta noite em Avellaneda. Até o jornal britânico The Mirror escreveu: “A lenda do Manchester City, Agüero, decidiu se aposentar em dezembro de 2021 enquanto jogava pelo Barcelona após ser diagnosticado com um problema cardíaco. No entanto, ele está pronto para sair da aposentadoria e jogar uma partida competitiva pelo clube argentino Independiente, enfrentando o arquirrival Racing.”
Anúncio de aposentadoria
Em 15 de dezembro de 2021, Agüero anunciou entre lágrimas sua aposentadoria forçada do futebol. Envolto em lágrimas, cabeça baixa e tentando respirar fundo antes de falar, Kun explicou sua decisão de deixar o esporte devido a problemas de saúde. O atacante argentino participou de uma entrevista coletiva do Barcelona realizada no Camp Nou.
Na ocasião, o evento contou com a presença de Joan Laporta, presidente do FC Barcelona, e Kun, vestido com paletó preto e camisa branca. Foi uma despedida cheia de emoção e nostalgia: foi o capítulo final de um dos maiores talentos do futebol argentino e mundial deste século.

Behind the Tigers’ strong start is Gleyber Torres’ subtle leadership

New York Jets early 53-man roster projection, post-NFL Draft
The two major tentpoles of the NFL offseason — free agency and the NFL Draft — are over. Unless general manager Darren Mougey has some surprise moves up his sleeves, the current iteration of the Jets’ roster will mostly be what it looks like when training camp opens in late-July.There are a lot of new faces — more than anything, this has been a youth movement. Both Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn said that was intentional: Out with the old, in with the new. On paper, this doesn’t look like a team that most will predict to win the division or go on a run in the playoffs, but there is potential for the Jets to perform above expectations if certain players (particularly at quarterback) take a step forward, or if certain rookies can make an immediate, positive impact.AdvertisementLet’s […]
How the Packers’ draft affects Jaire Alexander’s future and more takeaways
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Days before the 2025 NFL Draft, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst was asked about cornerback Jaire Alexander’s future. The team has been open to trading one of its best players of the last decade, presumably because of his price tag and lack of availability in recent years, but Gutekunst had left the door open for Alexander to stay.AdvertisementAs part of his answer, Gutekunst said, “We’ll see how the draft goes and then see where we are at that point.”The draft came and went with the Packers taking one cornerback. Not in the first round to potentially replace Alexander as Green Bay’s No. 1 cornerback of the future, but with pick No. 237 in the seventh round. If Gutekunst thought Alexander’s future would be influenced by who the Packers drafted at the position, Tulane cornerback Micah Robinson […]

Gennett didn’t understand why his friend would be calling, so he went back to sleep.When you have a newborn like Gennett and his wife, Kelsey, sleep is paramount.But sometime around 10:40 p.m. at his home in Parrish, Fla., the texts started coming in.Advertisement“GENO!” the first text read.At that point, Gennett knew what had happened. His former teammate had joined Gennett and 17 others in one of the game’s most exclusive clubs: hitting four home runs in one game.“I went to bed with a smile,” Gennett said. “It might have been the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a while.”Sunday, 12 hours after Suárez’s four-homer game and nearly eight years from when Gennett achieved the feat, it was still hard for Gennett to believe anyone can hit four homers in a […]
How Tom Wilson, wrecking ball, single-handedly decided Capitals-Canadiens Game 4
MONTREAL — Nothing changes a hockey game quite like a big hit. Nobody can change a hockey game quite like Tom Wilson.Those are things we’ve heard so much — the first bit for a century and a half, the second for 12 years — that they’ve become cliches.Big hits, no matter how many times you hear it from players, don’t typically create outcomes. Wilson, no matter how many times you hear it from the rest of the Washington Capitals, isn’t always the most impactful player on the ice.AdvertisementCliches, though, exist for a reason, and Sunday night at the Bell Centre, we saw proof.Wilson, one-of-one league-wide for his ability to mix brute force and high-end skill, single-handedly changed the result of a playoff game.
