Carlos Tevez He reviewed his brilliant career as a footballer and that incipient as a coach. El Apache gave an interview to F10 for ESPN and left several titles. If he underlined the change in mentality of Lionel Messi and the leadership he has shown in worldHe also admitted to being surprised by the young people he commanded Lionel Scaloni In Qatar.
“Messi has become the leader with punches. Today we see the Messi that not everyone likes, he revealed and a lot has been gained. Today he knows he is Messi. As a boy, he was already asked to be a leader and it didn’t work out for him, because he had just started his career and it’s difficult when you are asked that at 19 years old, “said he pointed out. Regarding the last World Cup won by the national team, he added: “I can’t believe what these young people have achieved at the age of 22 or 23. When you play in a World Cup you You got a lot of clout and I saw the naturalness of those guys who weren’t starters and performers (Enzo, Alexis, Julián) If you think for a second you’ll get shit Those took football somewhere else I couldn’t believe to see Messi lifting the Cup, I didn’t message him because I like to be in bad times, not in good ones.”
your dream of being coach of the youth teams of the Argentina team and the memory of his time at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, with Diego Maradona. “The selection for one who has played It’s always a dream, whether it’s Sub 20 or Sub 17, All. If they tell me, let me prepare something to introduce you to. I work this way and if it’s compatible, I can make it happen. I have a way of teaching and if this model works for the under 20s or for the chef, who is Scaloni and from there we are all aligned, obviously it will seduce anyone”.
“In 2006, it was the World Cup to be champion. We had the necessary equipment. In 2014, he was knocked out on a whim by Grondona. That year he was better than in 2010, when there was pressure on the coach. In South Africa, internally, we felt that if we were caught by a well-placed team, they could hurt us”.
Carlitos also spoke about his excellent career abroad. hostile climate that he had to endure “a las piñas” in Brazil. “The players of the The Corinthians all looked at me out of the corner of their eye, with bad vibes because I was earning more than them and I was the first Argentinian to play there. We came to blows two or three times. This time, we saw, it was because I had been lifted into the air. Later the kids started looking at me and they started trusting me because I told the president that if for example we beat Palmeiras there would be a double or a triple prize and then they started to see me in a different way.
Additionally, he revealed behind the scenes of the “betrayal” of Alex Ferguson for moving from Manchester United to Manchester City. “As a manager he’s a phenomenon, but I had a situation with him. The first year we were Champions League and Premier League champions. We went to pre-season and he told me that he was going to bring Berbatov to compete for me. The championship started and he named me as a substitute. My price started to go down, even though every time I played I scored goals. Before the Champions League final, I got the whole family to go to Abu Dhabi to sign with City. The game ends and he told me again to sign and I said No, that I was going on the sidewalk in front. It was a betrayal for him, but he made me suffer for a year. It hurt a lot because I liked United. I loved playing at Old Trafford because for me it was like La Bombonera. The sheikh came, introduced me to the City model and we won the championship against United with a goal from Kun Agüero”.
Regarding Boca Juniors, recognized that he will not forgive him that Guillermo Barros Schelotto did not choose him as a starter in the final of the Libertadores Cup to Madridespecially for “the fear” that River felt Plaque when I faced him. He also stated that Gustavo Alfaro wanted him to hurtThat’s why I didn’t put it. “My spirits were on the ground.
“In my career, nothing exceeded that night against gymnastics. I won everything. How I came from China, the fan looked at me from the side. Before, The coach of Boca (Alfaro) did not give me confidence, he wanted me to be wrong. I was struggling with my confidence and thinking, ‘hey, can I get better on this one?’ He touched the ball and there was a murmur on the pitch, we were already talking about it. Instead, Russo gave me confidence and I started scoring goals. To win this championship like that, with my old man, with Diego and in the second half when the murmur of the people started to be felt. We have not reached gymnastics anymore. It’s the end of the film of my career.”
About William Barros Schelotto, underlined: “I don’t understand why he didn’t put me in the final Liberators with Rivière. i thought i was going to play in the rematch I never discussed it with Guillermo. In the first game I gave that to Pipa who didn’t convert because Armani covered for him. He had scored goals, he was not in a good moment, but If I have Tevez on the bench in the final with River, I put it. I have a record with River. If you ask the River fan, he’s always been scared of me. At this point it does not cure me because the Boca fan will always have it, as well as the River fan who won the Libertadores. If I have a 9 that I know can score goals for me, I put it. What if Guillermo didn’t know? I don’t know, you have to ask him. Ditto in the final in Chile for the Copa America. I wanted to enter, that they put me that I gain it. I felt it and I still feel it. Then I go in and maybe miss a goal wide of the goal. We saw that we were going to react and we could”.
Other most notable phrases by Carlos Tevez:
His opinion on Lionel Scaloni and the player surprised him the most: “At 26 players, he changed the system and the players adapted. If he had to put in a line of three, he did. The same with one of the four or five. I really liked him from the outside because with the system he wanted, he achieved it. The best Argentine player in the World Cup for me was Álvarez because he appeared in a way that took the team forward. Cuti Romero and the whole defense too. I like the goalkeeper (Dibu Martínez) because he is the personality that the national team goalkeeper should have. If we don’t enlarge it to save a penalty, we all leave. Alexis Mac Allister showed me during the first training with Boca that he had a different character. I remember I was responsible for the free kick and on the first free throw he caught the ball and kicked it.
His former Manchester United team-mate Paul Scholes. “For me he was one of the best. It wasn’t much to say and in training I would put the iron on you and hug you. An Englishman who doesn’t speak much, but at training, he freaked you out. He had a punch that with 40/50 meters he would put on your foot”.
His fight with Mancini: “Before this championship with City, I fought with Mancini and I came to Argentina to play golf. I was fat. Roberto (Mancini) called me one evening and said ‘that’s it, Carlos, come back, start training and when you’re fine you can play with us’. He then said that I didn’t want to play for City. We have reached the last date United fell. We won with Pablo Zabaleta’s goal and the draw was useless. Kun’s goal is one of the ones I’ve shouted the most. It was a film because no one understood anything about it”.
His best match: “The Copa Libertadores final with Bianchi in 2003. I didn’t feel any pressure to play. Carlos told me ‘play’”.
The tribute to Diego, with his 1981 champion’s jersey: “When I put it on the hanger in the locker room, everyone started kissing it. And when I put it on, wow, I felt like it was the best.”
His beginnings as coach of Rosario Central: “I decided to be a coach to see how I can help football. As a manager or a coach, I didn’t like that, that’s why I chose to be a coach to be there and help the player. This maelstrom of always wanting to win is not perceptible to me because I focus on the player. I am looking for him to continue to progress and to be able to go to Europe and grow. After Central I am calm, see the processes, analyze what we have done well or badly as a group. Take a break and, with a cool head, start a new project. I will certainly add an assistant, he is known but I cannot give him because he is working. I would like to continue in Argentina. Take the first steps here, although as a coach you aspire to go to Europe.
Farías’ resemblance to him and his weakness Infantino: “A Carlitos Tevez of today? Yes, Farias. Also where it comes from, it reminds me a lot. He is a boy who needs a lot of help, he has incredible conditions to be brilliant. He is not well, he has not played and he has just been injured. I have a soft spot for Infantino (a youngster from Rosario Central). In practice I was amazed and said ‘faaa what this kid is playing’. I didn’t blow it up.”
Tevez’s ideal XI of all teams in his career: Gianluigi Buffon; Hugo Ibarra, Rolando Schiavi, Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra; Paul Scholes, Paul Pogba, Arturo Vidal; Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Wayne Rooney. DT: “Me of course.”
