Football: Maradona happy with Aguero move

DUBAI: Argentina great Diego Maradona reckons son-in-law Sergio Aguero is playing for the perfect club after his compatriot’s stunning start at English Premier League outfit Manchester City. Aguero, 23, scored a hat-trick in the 3-0 defeat of Wigan Athletic to take his tally to six goals in four games, having joined City from Atletico Madrid in July for an estimated 45 million euros. “I said Aguero needed a team that would support him, so that Aguero can play in the Champions League, can play in very important championships,” said Maradona. “It was not the case with Atletico Madrid.”
