Bolt Takes On Agüero Ahead Of Manchester Derby
Ahead of this Sunday’s Manchester Derby, Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt caught up with Manchester City’s star striker and fellow Puma ambassador Sergio Agüero to give him a unique lesson in speed in the sportswear brand’s new evoSPEED boots.
In the video – available to view at Sport Industry TV – the lifelong United fan pretends to help Sergio pep up his pace, but with an ulterior motive.
After the training session, Agüero commented: ‘Usain was terrible at the beginning, but I realised after a while that he was just trying to wear me out. When he started to play properly, he showed some skills though. He is not good enough to play for City, but I think he would have a good chance of getting into the United team.’
Usain Bolt added: ‘Sergio’s caused United a lot of problems over the years, so I thought I’d drop in on him to see if I could tire him before the game on Sunday. But turns out he’s pretty fit. I have to admit I was impressed with his qualities, United definitely need to keep him quiet but I’m sure they can do that and get three points.’
The Bolt Agüero training video was released by Puma, who launched the latest edition of the evoSPEED 1.2 football boot this week, the new purple and orange evoSPEED boots featured in the film was worn on pitch by Sergio Agüero himself for the first time this week.
