Argentina vs Venezuela, 5 Talking Points; FIFA World Cup 2018 Qualifying

#3. What has Sergio Aguero done wrong?

Aguero must be eager to share pitch-space again with his old pal Leo

Sergio "Kun" Aguero's national team record reads games played 82; goals scored 33. When Aguero comes on, it is a given that he will be involved in at least a couple of chances - such is the supreme level at which he operates... his runs, his poaching instincts, and his finishing have set him a class apart.

Yet, when Argentina needed a goal desperately against Uruguay, Jorge Sampaoli turned to Joaquin Correa and Javier Pastore. When they needed a goal even more desperately against Uruguay, Sampaoli turned to Pastore once again before handing 27-year-old Boca Juniors forward Dario Benedetto his professional Argentina debut.

All the while Aguero was sat on the bench twiddling his thumbs.

But then he did divorce Diego Maradona's daughter... and you don't get away lightly for such a major transgression, do you? This tumultuous personal life - combined with a perceived lack of passion - has seen the majority opinion in Argentina turn against him... and it appears that his coach shares the same opinion.

But, surely when fully fit he is the best striker in the nation?

It is the same case at club level too, where an uppity young Brazilian has upstaged the man who has scored 170 goals in 255 games for Manchester City and created the moment that is the signature moment in the club's long and storied history.

What the hell has Aguero done wrong to be treated like this by both his managers?
