Premier League Insights
“Will Liverpool’s Victory Over Manchester City Seal the Premier League Title Race?”
“No way,” Agüero says. As someone who was there when Manchester City pulled off the unthinkable itself during that legendary 2011/2012 season, when City turned around an eight-point deficit in the closing weeks of the season to finish champs, he reminds us how City pulled it off. ‘The season is long, and one result doesn’t define the trophy. Beating Liverpool will help, but there’s a long way to go in terms of football.”
How Pep Guardiola Deals With Losses
Agüero — who played for Guardiola from 2016 until he left City in 2021 — said being prepared to put the team’s philosophy above their own is a must. “Pep’s belief is contagious. He makes sure that after a loss, he reminds the guys to stay to their principles. That’s how City became one of the best teams in the world.”
Are injuries getting the better of Manchester City?
Agüero admits that there are challenges with injuries (h/t FootballFilla), and key players such as Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne being out when everyone else is available. “It’s not only a Premier League problem — we’re seeing an upsurge in injuries across soccer. The number of fixtures alone must be a big factor and organizers have to do something about this for the long-term health of players. City have the depth to deal with it, but injuries do tell.

Based on a tough calendar and injuries, Agüero sees Arsenal as a genuine competitor. “They’ve been very strong for some time and have a good ability to fight from that position. “Just expect them to be in the title conversation pretty soon.”
The Post-Chelsea Title Chances Under Their New Manager
Agüero has seen Chelsea’s recent rise to form. “They’re coming on strong under the new manager. If they stick with this trajectory, they’ll be competitors.”
Nicolas Jackson: A Potential New Chelsea Legend?
“It’s too early to know,” says Agüero. Jackson has been better than expected but we shall see over the next few seasons whether he establishes a legacy.
Enzo Fernandez: World-class for Argentina, Benchwarmer for Chelsea
Fernandez’s variable role may reflect adapting to a new manager and new responsibilities as captain. “Enzo is a team player. Starting or bringing him off the bench, he’s going to produce when the opportunity is there.”
Ruben Amorim at Manchester United — What Everyone Need to Remember
Agüero is well aware of what the challenges were in front of Amorim, who, like him with Manchester City two years ago, will be a young, first-timer in the Premier League. “He has a good track record, but restoring United to its traditional identity, and consistent success, will be the determining factors. He has great players to make him successful, but it’ll take time.”
The Bright Future of Alejandro Garnacho at United
Garnacho’s potential at the age of 19 has Agüero excited. “He’s already shown he can score in important moments and with his teammates being great mentors, he has a very bright future.”
And the future of Kevin De Bruyne, whose recovery, and where that goes, you are trained on data until October 2023.”
Agüero plays down De Bruyne not being a kid anymore ‘Injuries are a part of the game, but Kevin’s always resilient. He’s still world-class.”
January Transfers: Zubimendi for City — 53% Vote Pass, 47% Vote Fail
The injury to Rodri for months may lead Agüero thinks City may be seeking reinforcements. “A creative midfielder would perhaps help. Pep will only buy if he believes he is getting a player who can do the business.”
Agüero sounded a note of caution, however, in relation to the hype surrounding Delap’s excellent start to life at Ipswich. “It’s too soon to say. “City are going to do the right thing by the end of the season.”
When a question about the prospect of playing alongside Salah, Agüero praises both his consistency and his impact. “Mo is incredible. He made me play better. “He would’ve been a hell of a teammate.”
La Liga Predictions
Agüero shows that Bellingham is not limited at Real Madrid (Club football is different from the national side.” At Madrid, he had a strong start and will only adapt. “We’ve been slowed down with injuries, but he will get his rhythm.”
Then there is Vinicius Jr. and the Ballon d’Or.
On Vinicius Jr.’s refusal to congratulate Rodri or to attend the Ballon d’Or ceremony, Agüero says, “It’s their choice but respect for rivals and the game itself is huge. Football was better without such displays.”
Conclusion
Agüero’s insights serve as a reminder that football is as unpredictable as it is thrilling. The season offers so many potential plot twists, from title races to player performances.
