Not Cristiano Ronaldo Or Lio Messi: Kun Agüero Is the Best Player in the World

It’s really hard to point who is the best player in the world. There is not a universal way of measuring it and analysts never match their opinions.

During the previous seasons, players such as Kaka, Lionel Messi, or Cristiano Ronaldo have shared the "title" of being unanimously considered the top player in the entire world. All these guys were, and still are key players for their team’s success, as they have led them to the UEFA Champions League trophy last three seasons.

Absolutely they are difference makers; however, their throne is threatened right now, because there is a new Sheriff in the town. At this moment and after a month of competition the Argentinean Kun Agüero, with only 20-years old, is the best player in the world. I really suspect it before the start, and the grind of the season is confirming it.

With no doubt.

Agüero is the real deal; the full package. Everything goes around him at Atletico Madrid. Since his arrival, and after struggling a little bit through his first season, he has been the leader of this team. Agüero is a lifetime player. He has outstanding skills. He dazzles with the ball, and his dribbling abilities are tremendous.

Nevertheless, this is not his best weapon. This is not what makes him different; special. What makes him special, and great, is his ability of being unique in the final metres. Agüero makes his money and his team’s money in the penalty area. He is a finisher, a guy who knows in each moment what he has to do.

Moreover, Agüero makes his teammates looking better. His outstanding football IQ allows him to assist as the best one, and take the best of the players surrounding him. His intelligence also lets him to be is the best position in each play. If there is a gap between the defenders, Agüero is there to make money. If the goalkeeper doesn’t keep the ball, Agüero is there to make money.

He kills you.

I’m definitely an Agüero-believer. Atletico Madrid did a statement in their first Champions League appearance after 12 years, and he was the leader, the soul of this team. He has not peaked yet, and he is determined to build his legacy from this season, succeeding in the UCL upsetting someone and advancing through the tournament. His bunch of great performances began at Beijing, where he led Argentina to clinch the gold medal.

Now, it’s time he to dominate the country and the continent. Next victim: Liverpool.
