Pep Guardiola hails Sergio Aguero ahead of Chelsea clash

Manchester City will be hosting Chelsea on Sunday in the Premier League. After the 2-0 win over Everton, Manchester City is leading the league with 62 points, while Chelsea are 4th with 50 points. Ahead of the game, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has hailed Aguero claiming that he is a big player for the big games. “The big players need to appear in the big games, in the big ­moments, and he has done it. Hopefully, he can ­continue to do it," said Guardiola. “In the big games, we need the ­important players. No Sarri is ­important, no Pep, no Jurgen or any manager. This game belongs to the players and the important games belong to the special players. “Sometimes it helps to understand what he has done. That goal against Liverpool summed up what he is about. ­Sometimes the best tennis players on a point to save the break, they make an ace. “In the big moments, always the big athletes come there, the big finals, the big moments. “Sometimes some players hide in the scary moments. The other ones step forward and say, ‘I’m the boss, I’m here and I’m going to win the game’. Big clubs need these kinds of players. It’s ­simple.”
