‘Let Sampaoli say what he wants’, says Aguero

Sergio Aguero has hit out at the Argentina coach Jorge Sampaoli after a humiliating 3-0 loss to Croatia in their second match of the group stage, as reported by FFT.

Argentina have a single point from two rounds of Group D games after Croatia ran riot following Willy Caballero's horrific error that handed Ante Rebic a spectacular 53rd-minute opener.

Aguero and fellow forward Lionel Messi were left to watch helplessly in attack as midfield maestros Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic completed a comprehensive win that sends Zlatko Dalic's side through to the knockout rounds.

According to reports by FFT, Sampaoli took full responsibility for the humiliating defeat handed by Croatia but also insisted that the Argentina players failed to adapt to his changes in tactics. Aguero lashed out in anger and responded when he was questioned about the comments made by Sampaoli.

Reports from FFT suggested that the 30-year old striker said, “Let him say what he wants,”

 “I feel angry and sad,” Aguero added. “Although there is still a chance.

“Now we depend on others but there is still hope, a miracle. We have to wait and try to beat Nigeria.” concluded an angry and frustrated Aguero.

Argentina must beat Nigeria in their final Group D fixture and hope other results go their way in the section or their Russia 2018 campaign will be over.
