Tevez sheds bulk in bid to win over Chinese critics
Print Edition
CARLOS Tevez has lost several kilos in weight and wants to prove himself to sceptical Chinese fans who have booed him and labelled him “very homesick boy”, his club Shanghai Greenland Shenhua said yesterday.
The former Argentina international has endured a turbulent 10 months in China since arriving to a hero’s welcome from Boca Juniors, missing around half the matches this season injured or unavailable. In September new Shenhua manager Wu Jingui called the 33-year-old, one of the highest-paid players in the world, overweight and ordered him to shape up. Tevez, known by his detractors in China as “very homesick boy” because of his previous behavior in jetting back to Argentina in times of trouble, appears to have taken note and has been putting in extra training to lose the bulk. And with the first leg of the FA Cup against rival Shanghai SIPG two weeks away, the former Manchester United forward has gone from 78 kilograms at the start of the year to 72kg now, a Shenhua spokesman said, confirming reports in Chinese media that Tevez wants to prove his doubters wrong.
