Sergio Agüero has been successful since he began his career at Independiente de Avellaneda. In 2003 he became the youngest footballer to play in the country’s First Division. He debuted at the age of 15, and broke the record that had belonged to Maradona since 1976. He played in world-renowned clubs, such as Atlético de Madrid, in which he scored 101 goals in 234 games. He was also at Manchester City where, in 2017, he became the club’s top scorer in history. And in addition, he represented our country in various World Cups and Copa America.
But now, far from the ball, he is a star of the networks. As of last December 15, when he had to retire from soccer due to a cardiac arrhythmia, “Kun” is dedicated to “streaming” on the Twitch platform. His streams consist of talking to other streamers, his audience, or just reacting to videos, and many times he goes viral for his controversial sayings.
In January, he pointed to the wealth tax that Máximo Kirchner devised. He expressed that “it is crazy”, and provoked reactions from the economic and political world. His position generated questions but also support among the leaders. For example, Ricardo López Murphy banked him and said that “the State must stop looting taxpayers with taxes.” And the Libertarian Javier Milei commented: “Lions waking up. Long live freedom, damn it.”
At the beginning of March, Agüero went for more and said that the vaccines against Covid “are not good for a damn”, because he was infected four times. “I’m not saying you don’t have to get vaccinated, but I got vaccinated and in five months I caught Covid again,” he explained. He then expressed: “I know that the vaccine is saving lives, but unfortunately there are people who don’t like it. Forgive those who are offended.”
In recent days, to complete the show, he said that he would not live in Argentina again due to insecurity and unleashed another wave of reactions in the networks and the media. She stated that Argentines choose to live in gated communities to be calmer and added that her family has lived in a country house for ten years because they threatened to kidnap one of her sisters.
@kun. It’s been on the web for a while now. In mid-2020, he began broadcasting on Twitch, from his Slakun10 account where, in less than a month, he reached almost half a million followers. Currently, it has almost 4 million, and in the ranking of the ten Spanish-speaking streamers with the most followers on the platform, it is in seventh place. In October 2020, he launched his Esports team KRÜ. At 33 years old, he became a successful entrepreneur in the world of electronic sports, to the point that, just over a year after launching his team, he already competes in the most important international events. Almost without looking for it, Agüero went from being a player to an influencer.
