Never late to tell funny anecdotes, Micah Richards reiterated in the podcast The Rest Is Football. This time, the former Manchester City right-back paid his ex-teammate, Sergio Agüero. The Argentinian, who became an icon after scoring 260 goals in total for the Skyblues, lived in England for 10 years. Normally enough to soak up the culture, and especially the local language. But Micah Richards assures that the attacker, now retired, pretends not to know how to speak English to avoid interviews.
“Aguero was lying! When they asked him to do interviews, he said ‘I don’t speak English'”laughs the former defender who passed through Fio. “He spoke very good English and knew exactly what the slang terms were. He knew all the terminologies. Of course, talking with your friends and having an interview are two different things. But he played so hard on it and he got away with it. James Milner, Lescott… all the English guys had to deal with the media because Kun said: ‘I don’t speak English'”. The Argentinian’s strategy seemed to bear fruit, so much so that Micah Richards still remembers it today.
