Carlos TEVEZ to break the silence RIGHT NOW on Argentine TV. I'm watching. Will give you his quotes.
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I decided not to talk to the media for the last four months. Last time I spoke was right after the Bayern Munich game"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "It was a delicate situation. I decided to say nothing about it during all this time"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: I want to go back to Manchester and win over the City fans back. People turned their back on me but it's normal. I didn't understand
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I didn't understand City fans burning my shirt. It hurt. It's normal they react like that because they read all sorts of thing"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: I've decided to return to City. I know I have what it takes to revert the situation. I know it'll be hard, but it's a nice challenge
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ on the Bayern episode: "I have warmed up during the 1st half. Then went to dressing room. For 2nd half I was ready"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "In that 2nd half MANCINI decides to replace DZEKO with DE JONG. It was a defensive sub. I didn't understand. DZEKO argued w/MANCINI"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I decided to sit. MANCINI was upset for arguing with DZEKO. Then he looks at me and asks me to warm up"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "MANCINI told me all sorts of things there. I don't know why. I was relaxed. I was talking to ZABALETA. I had no problems"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I never refused to play. I refused to keep warming up. The club investigated and then they fined me"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I was worried about my future after that 2-week fine. That fine was OK. But I want people to know the truth. They didn't want to"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "The club statement protected the manager. I got a lot of heat from the media in England, Argentina, everywhere".
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "Everytime I wanted to take my daughter to school I had 5 journalists on my back. Trained with the reserves. It was uncomfortable"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I was affected because of this situation. I wanted to find shelter with my family".
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "It is true that AC Milan had an interest in me. City didn't want to lose $. It wasn't good for City having me away in Buenos Aires"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I have been training on my own. I know I can be back on the pitch in 2 weeks. I'm willing to play"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "It was really emotional being back at La Bombonera (Boca Jrs stadium) for the MartÃn PALERMO testimonial. It was moving"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
A comment in between taking these quotes from Fox Sports Latin America (they are on a commercial break now) (cont)
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
I think TEVEZ doesn't sound like he is trying to smoke a pipe of peace with MANCINI. Some strong words and comments from him on the Italian
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "If it's true that MANCINI said he will welcome me back if I'm fit, then I like those quotes. But if he only said it for the media...
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "But he also said I was never going to be playing for him again. So I don't know. I'll do my best to be available and play"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: MANCINI's position got stronger when Kun AGUERO arrived. I don't know if he would have done the things he did if this was last season
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "To be insulted by fans after what happened in Munich was something I didn't deserve"
31s Mundo Albiceleste Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "Now that I have a cooler head, I understand City fans. Back in the heat of the moment I didn't. I did a lot of things for City"
1m Mundo Albiceleste Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: Last season we almost exchanged punches! But he never said anything. He got a better team this season & felt like making the decision
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "They could have kicked me out of the club without saying all the things they said. Deal with the situation in a different way"
1m Mundo Albiceleste Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I was very upset by everything and maybe I wasn't seeing things clearly. That Bayern episode could have been avoided"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I think that's where MANCINI got things wrong. If we had a problem, we could have sorted it out in a different way"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "Last season, after a home game vs. Newcastle, we almost hit each other in the dressing room. But we spoke the following day"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "MANCINI is a winner. And I'm a winner too. None of us like to lose"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ "My first few months in England (West Ham), I felt terrible. I wanted out. I wasn't playing. But I worked hard & turned things around"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I love the English league. I think it's the best in the world. I have a problem with Christmas and New Year's Day. You have to play"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "Going to train on 24 December, sometimes play on the 25th. It's tough. I didn't like that"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "There's no need for City to make me have 2 training sessions a day. I'll do it myself."
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I picture myself going back on the pitch and I know I have to play better than I ever did"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I suffered a lot with the national team too. I saw myself out of Copa America. I came here and I wasn't prepared to play that Copa"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I felt I wasn't going to be considered. So I didn't prepare. But I came back here and people showed me a lot of love"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "Fans here in Argentina have always been great to me. I will keep playing because I'm still hungry for more glory"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I remember fans were insulting Sergio BATISTA (Argentina former manager). And I changed my mind and wanted to play for ARG again"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "Argentina need to start building up the team from the GK and forward. We've been doing it the other way around".
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "If a team can defend well, then it will attack well. Any team that stopped us going forward, would beat us or at least get a draw"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "Argentina should always be a candidate to win any tournament we enter. Just see the kind of players we've got"
This now makes me wonder if he is taking the piss or his translation is just a bit off
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "It's easy to play together with MESSI. I don't know why in Argentina people now say it's either TEVEZ or MESSI. I love that midget!"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
Note: He doesn't mean "midget" in a bad way. It's a friendly way to refer to MESSI.
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: I don't like the fact that some people want to make this as if it is TEVEZ v. MESSI. It's not like that. We have a great relationship
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: MESSI told me to go talk to BATISTA & ask him if he had any problems with me. Cause he went to Manchester to see ZABALETA but not me
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelst
TEVEZ: "...I wasn't going to be available for selection in the future".
1m Mundo Albiceleste Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "BATISTA told me I wasn't in his plans for Copa America but I would be for the World Cup. I told me if I wasn't in Copa, then..."
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "Mauricio MACRI (former Boca Jrs president, current Buenos Aires mayor) asked me to come to Boca for free in 2 years"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I have to thank Coco BASILE and the people at Tigre for their efforts to sign me too. But my heart belongs to Boca"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I train in the mornings. I play a lot of golf. In England it's the middle of winter now so I won't be able to play much. I love it"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "My first goal now is to be back at full fitness. I have trained on my own but lost contact with the ball. Gotta get that back"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "It's tough to talk about City's title challenge now. I feel like I'm out the squad. I wish I can go back there and help them win"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I know FERGUSON really doesn't want to lose this title race. I think FERGUSON and BIELSA are the best managers"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I know FERGUSON didn't have the best relationship with me but together with BIELSA, those two are the best managers I had"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "Paul SCHOLES is the best professional. Him ROONEY and GIGGS...I have no words. They were excellent to me"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
The host now closing the interview. Giving TEVEZ a lot of love. Saying he'll win City fans' hearts back
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I know I have a huge challenge ahead. I'm full of energy. Thanks to all the people that were with me during these last 4 months..."
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "...I have discovered the love for the game again. I want to play again. I want to train. Things I've lost 4 months ago"
Mundo Albiceleste @MundoAlbicelest
TEVEZ: "I'll do my best to do that. I said I was going to retire at 28 and was thinking about it, but not anymore. I want to succeed again"
