Sergio Agüero broken his silence amid the ongoing Manchester City allegations and social-media storm:
“I keep seeing people online celebrating as if Manchester City have already been stripped of every trophy in their history. Calm down. The legal process is not Twitter.
I played for Manchester City. I know what that dressing room was like. I know the players, the coaches, the staff and the sacrifices that went into winning those trophies. We didn’t walk onto the pitch and receive points for free. We had to play football, score goals and win matches.
People are already talking about removing Aguerooooo from football history. Please, let’s be serious. That goal was scored in the 93rd minute. The stadium exploded, the players celebrated, the fans cried, and the Premier League title was won on the pitch that day.
If you have allegations, investigate them. If there are charges, let the proper process deal with them. If there is an appeal, let the appeal happen. But don’t turn allegations, verdicts, sanctions and social-media jokes into the same thing.
Manchester City can defend themselves without me, but I will always defend the memories I created there. Nobody can tell me that the hard work, training, pressure and football we played suddenly never happened.
And to everyone saying, ‘115! 115! 115!’ every five seconds… I have one question:
If Manchester City are guilty of everything you are claiming, why are you already celebrating before the entire legal process is finished?
Let the lawyers do their job.
Until then, stop trying to delete football history because Twitter needs another trending topic.
Aguerooooo is still Aguerooooo.
