Carlos Tevez: Player of the people 1
The welcoming ceremony for Tevez took place at night, but the fans lined up outside La Bombonera stadium, everyone wearing Boca’s green and yellow shirts and from a distance it looked like a military parade.
On his return, Tevez received a warm welcome from the fans.
`Go back to Argentina,` Roberto Mancini angrily shouted at Tevez on the pitch during a Man City match in the Champions League.
On Monday, Tevez finally returned to Argentina as he wished.
One month before the Champions League final, Juventus had two recruitment offers from Atletico and Liverpool on the negotiating table.
Tevez (right) dares to risk all glory to return to his homeland.
Yet he left Europe to return to Argentina, something famous players only do in the late afternoon, when they can no longer endure the rigors of European football.
Occasionally, we hear sentences like: `Cristiano Ronaldo grew up in a poor countryside in Madeira` or `Gareth Bale started his career in Cardiff school football`.
Tevez is not like that.
Tevez returned to Boca home after 11 years away.
From Sao Paolo to London, from Manchester to Turin, wherever Tevez goes, traditional Argentinian barbercue parties follow him there.
That is something Lionel Messi can never have.
If you ask what Argentina’s most memorable moment at the recent Copa America was, they would say it was Tevez’s decisive penalty against Colombia in the quarterfinals.
