Carlos Tevez, figure of the team of Michelangelo Russo who won the last Super League before soccer stopped due to the pandemic of coronavirus, spoke publicly after the offer presented by the Council made up of Juan roman riquelme, Marcelo Delgado, Raúl Cascini and Jorge Bermúdez.

I will continue in Boca, obviously. I want one more chance to play Libertadores. With the pandemic it is not known what will happen to the Cup but I want to play it. I accepted the proposal without any problem, we made some changes and Adrián (Ruocco, his representative) sent the counter offer. We will leave stipulated in the contract where it will go, I do not want to see any silver. You go directly to a charity“He declared.

On the other hand, he clarified in A good time (Radio La Red) that the negotiations were led by Bermúdez, Cascini and Delgado with their personal agent, since the last time he spoke with Román was to discuss the school’s awards in March.

At the same time he admitted to having been bothered by the phrases of Bermúdez and Cascini, who in recent days had mentioned that when they took over the reins of the club he was an “ex-player”: “I don’t see or hear anything, but it obviously came to me. They tell you how it was and it bothers you, you have to tell them indoors and it stays there. If we have any difference with the subject of the contract, we cannot make it public. Equally much we do not have to fix. In a negotiation one has his position, the other has his and it seems to me that both are valid”.

And I add: “I want to go well with Boca, I don’t want to fight with anyone, but I’m not going to let them disrespect me either. It stays here. We will surely discuss it privately. The good for Boca is that we sit down, talk and if they have to tell me something they will say it”.

When asked about his old friendship with Cascini, he avoided arguing further: “I don’t play for Raúl or Bermúdez or for anyone, I play here for the people of Boca. And we all have to be together to win the Libertadores because I don’t win it by myself. We need the players, the coaching staff and the leaders. Later, if we have to say things to our faces, we will tell them. I will tell him ‘Raúl, boludo, don’t say those things to the press’. I’ll give him a kiss or a hug and he’ll grab my ear like always. Confronting him or the boss is not good for Boca. If we have in mind to win the Libertadores we have to be all together. I break my ass to give happiness to the people of Boca, although I am not Messi or Maradona.

The great sports objective that Tevez pursues is the Libertadores and thus he underlined it: “I want to have another chance to play it, although it is not known what will happen due to the pandemic. We responded to the offer in Boca with some changes but we accepted it. It will be a 6-month contract and then we will sit down and see if it stretches for the Cup. We will see what is as healthy and correct as possible” After that he will evaluate with the managers whether or not he continues in 2021 although he made it clear that it will not depend on the fate of the team in the continental competition.

Tevez spoke with his wife, Vanesa, his representative and his brother to define the donation of your wages and bonuses: “We live with people from the village, I have friends who make popular pots and we see another reality. It seems fair and the healthiest for everyone. And that the people of Boca feel identified because they pay the entrance and the subscription. All together we will do good to combat this pandemic”.

The soccer leader xeneize in the last games that were played acknowledged that he received the minimum salary in the last time but did not want to refer to the money: “It seems abusive to speak of silver, be it the best payment, the worst or the middle one. There is poverty in Argentina, going out to talk about 10 pesos, 100 or a million … We do not have to be abusive, but we who know that we see reality sideways or out of the corner of our eyes. People listen and see us and it doesn’t seem fair”.

Why didn’t you agree to sign the contract for a year?The AFA implemented signing for 6 months or a year and a half. You don’t know how football will return and how football will return. It is an uncertainty for me and for Boca as well. The clearest and most logical thing is that we do not tie it to a year. In the first offer I said that for a year and a half but let’s try 6 months. And let’s donate the money so that we don’t talk about it any more. I never talked about money in Boca and I did a lot of things“He concluded.

This is how he reviewed it Infobae
