The manager has added his voice to the mbades who have praised the scorer of City's history since his match against Arsenal last week
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola praised Sergio Aguero's mentality ahead of his team's clash with Chelsea on Sunday.
Argentina had a hat-trick in their last home game, a 3-1 win over Arsenal, and has scored an impressive eight games in their last nine games. Aguero has been so outstanding this season that he has already scored 20 goals in all competitions.

"The big players have to appear in the big matches, in the big moments, and he did," said the city boss at his pre-game press conference.
"I hope he can continue to do so. In big games, we need important players. No Sarri is [as] important, no Pep, no Jurgen or no manager. This game belongs to the players and the important games belong to the special players. "

"That goal against Liverpool summed up his point. Sometimes the best tennis players on one point to save the break, they make an ace.
"In great moments, it's always the big athletes who come, the big finals, the big moments.
"Sometimes, some players hide in scary moments. The others come forward and say, "I am the boss, I am here and I will win the match".
"Big clubs need this type of players. It's simple.
