The Manchester City striker struggled in Brazil due
to injury but feels that leaving Chile with the trophy
would go some way to making up for that
Sergio Aguero is hoping that triumphing in the
Copa America 2015 final with Argentina can make
up for his inability to perform at his best during
the World Cup.
La Albiceleste went all the way to the showpiece
event in Brazil last year before suffering defeat to a
Mario Götze extra-time winner for Germany at the
Maracanã.
Agüero struggled for form and fitness throughout
that tournament, but has impressed for Argentina
in Chile with three goals so far and hopes he can
repay the debt he feels he has accrued from his
below-par contribution in Brazil.
"I always said that what happened at the World
Cup, because I did not get there in the best
condition, kept a thorn in me," Agüero told La
Nacion .
"Now I feel better, I arrived better and it's a debt
that I'm trying to pay in the Copa. We will always
have a bitter taste from the final with Germany, but
winning the Copa would give us much happiness."
The Manchester City striker is La Albiceleste's
highest-scoring player in Chile, while captain
Lionel Messi has only found the net once so far.
However, Agüero defended his team-mate's
contribution and insisted he is always good to
have in the side.
"He is calm. If the team wins, he's OK," he said.
"What happens is that everyone goes out to mark
him, two or three defenders, and it leaves others
free.
"It's always good to have Leo and the goal will
come."
