However, the Argentine once failed to pass the weight test of the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich head coach. Speaking to El Chiringuito (via ), Aguero fondly reminisced about his time with Guardiola in the Premier League. He elaborated: "If your ideal weight is 79-80 kilograms and you were 80 kilos and 100 grams, you would be fined and you won't be allowed to play. But it can happen! You come across a little bit of chicken, for example, then you are going to be 50 grams over!" Aguero asserted that Guardiola left him out of the first-team to positively motivate him and added that he was respectful of him. He continued: "Well, in the first season, we were between fourth and third and he said, 'I left you out because you turned up fat this week'. He was right, these things happen. He said it in a good way. And at that time, I didn't really have his confidence. But I was always very respectful to the coaches." Analyzing how Guardiola improved him as a player, the former Manchester City man said: "When I arrived, Guardiola asked me to press the centre backs a lot, and then I didn't have oxygen to attack. I wasn't used to press but Guardiola taught me the way to do it." "We cannot replace him."
