Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero was at the bench as Argentina set up a semi final clash with the United States, after thrashing Venezuela 4-1 at the quarter final stage.

Aguero has been playing second fiddle to Napoli forward, Gonzalo Higuain at the continental tournament and is set to continue. Higuain grabbed a brace to quiet speculations that Kun Aguero may be called to take over the lead strike role.

Aguero has started just one of the group games as Higuain has been favoured more. Aguero said earlier that he was comfortable with his playing time so far. He scored the last in the 5-0 thrashing of Panama, despite joining in the goal scoring spree in the last 14 minutes.

Coach Gerardo Martino is set to lead the national team to their first glory in 23 years and Aguero says he has no problem as far the team succeeds. Aguero said:
“To be honest I don’t know how we will play, but I think I will stay on the bench and I must be prepared when the coach needs me. I knew this could happen because ‘Pipa’ (Higuain) had a fantastic season in Italy. I always try to do my job the best way possible and we should be happy of being here.”

Sergio Aguero put up a world class performance the other evening to smash Norwich City out of FA Cup.

Aguero first scored a wonderful goal in the 16^th minute of the game and then assisted another one later on.

Manuel Pellegrini, the City manager, reckons it’s just the start for the star striker and he will be getting better and better with more games under his belt.

After coming back from injury, Aguero had shown signs of being a little out of rhythm in the past couple of games, but, against Norwich, he was at the job right away.

Lauding him in his post game talk to the media, Pellegrini said, “Sergio is the sort of player that when he is in form, he would make big impact on the game as he did today and that’s why, he is the favourite of the supporters.”

“I believe with the more playing time he gets, the level of his game will keep going up. He is one of our vital players going forward in the season.”

At this point of time, Manchester City is in with a chance to win as many as four titles. They are alive in the Premiership, in FA as well as League Cups and also in Europe.

They are not leading the Premiership however and are at the second position, trailed by 3 points to the Gunners.

When asked if the team is thinking about completing the quadruple this season, the Chilean said, “We are taking one match at a time and try and do our best in that.”

“What’s most important is to make sure that the fitness level of the squad is good as there are a lot of matches coming up in the next few weeks.”
