Sergio Aguero's brother has hit out at the "unfair" criticism directed at the Argentina striker following a string of poor results in World Cup qualifying.
The Manchester City star has been the focus of ill-feeling after missing a penalty in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Paraguay, a result that leaves Edgardo Bauza's men five points behind leaders Brazil following a run of three matches without a win.
"Yes, it's true. My brother is having a difficult time, as are other players in the national team," he said. "But I think we have to keep calm right now.
"The penalty he missed is a penalty that you can miss.
"He's excited with the national team. People can say whatever they want.
"He's not going to leave the national team. I think he will continue playing for Argentina.
"It really is unfair. It's tough criticism for any footballer."
