Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi are like an ‘old married couple’ when they room together on international duty, the Manchester City man has revealed. Aguero, City’s all-time leading goalscorer, was discussing his relationship with Messi on a radio show when he outlined how the close friends have different approaches to deadlines.
It’s no secret that Messi and Aguero are friends, now, he has explained how they sometimes have a different pace of life when it comes to sharing a room on international duty.
Sergio Aguero said “Messi and I have been together [rooming while on international duty with Argentina] since we were 17 years old. We are already 32 (Aguero) and 33 (Messi) years old, we are like a worn-out married couple. He’s a big whiner, I always fall asleep with the TV on and the next morning he’s always complaining. For example, we get back to the hotel at 19.30 and we’re eating at 21.00. There’s time. But Leo’s in the shower straight away and ready. I’m there in my boxers and talking on my phone… Time passes and with half an hour to go, he starts: ‘We’re eating at 21.00, in 30 minutes…’ I’m still there on my phone and he’s going: ’10 minutes to go. We always arrive late. We’ve been here for an hour…’ And then I get ready. The bad vibes start and he doesn’t like arriving late!”
