Argentina striker Aguero snaps: Let Sampaoli say what he wants

Manchester City ace Sergio Aguero cut short an interview after Argentina's shock World Cup defeat to Croatia.

In the immediate aftermath, Argentina coach Jorge Sampaoli said his players had "failed to adapt to my project".

Asked about his coach's claims, Aguero snapped: "Let Sampaoli say what he wants."

And with that, Aguero turned on his heel and left the interview.

Later, Sampaoli explained: "Everything about the team has to do with implementation. The project has not succeeded and in that respect it is difficult to say that it is going well individually. But I was referring to the project of this competition. Not the overall project."
