Sergio Aguero Player Football WallpapersSergio Leonel 'Kun' Agüero del Castillo, born 2 June 1988) is an Argentine footballer who currently plays as a striker for Spanish La Liga club Atlético Madrid and the Argentine national team. Agüero earned his nickname "Kun" when his grandparents noted that his haircut looked like that of Japanese anime character "Kun Kun".
Sergio Agüero started playing for Argentine First Division Club Independiente, becoming the youngest player to debut in the Argentine First Division at 15 years and 35 days (on 7 July 2003 against Club Atlético San Lorenzo), breaking the record previously established by Diego Maradona in 1976. Agüero made his senior debut for Argentina in a friendly with Brazil played at Emirates Stadium, England, on 3 September 2006. As a teenager, he represented Argentina at three FIFA World Youth Championships. Together with future 2008 Olympics squad teammates Fernando Gago of Real Madrid and Lionel Messi of Barcelona, they won the 2005 edition in the Netherlands.
At the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada, he scored twice and helped set up three goals in a 6-0 win over Panama in the second game of the group stage of the tournament. Agüero then scored the only goal in Argentina's third match against North Korea from a free kick. Having qualified to the round of 16, he scored two of the three goals against Poland that would eventually give them the win (3-1) to advance. Argentina defeated Mexico in the quarter-finals and Chile in the semi-finals, and faced the Czech Republic in the finals. Agüero captained and scored the equaliser in the 62nd minute, leading to a 2-1 victory. In addition, Agüero won the Golden Boot for the tournament, scoring six goals, and the Golden Ball as the best player of the tournament.
As a member of the Argentine squad for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Agüero scored two goals in the space of five minutes in the semi-final 3-0 win over Brazil on 19 August 2008. He also played 78 minutes of the final where Argentina beat Nigeria 1-0.
