Carlos Tevez played for seven seasons in the Premier League and yet he never finished learning to speak fluently English. This adversity that many times turned the Argentine soccer player into butt of ridiculehas an explanation as surprising as it is emotional that would surely make more than one person apologize.
“I had a cultural problem with the English, I didn’t want to learn English. If they wanted to talk to me, let them learn Spanish“, Tevez began his story in an interview with D Sports Radio in a challenging tone that later transformed.
“I have an uncle who played in River, the only River fan in the whole family. When he was playing in the Reserve, close to making his debut in the First Division, They call him to go to the Falklands War and he could never play in First Division. From there, he looks very bad and becomes an alcoholic. He was very close to me and that remained with me,” Tevez told his family history unknown to most.

Tevez’s successful career in the Premier League
The striker emerged from the basic forces of Boca Juniorsarrived at West Ham in 2006 after a brief stint at the Corinthians and in his first season in the Premier League He began to prove his worth by being a key player for his team to achieve permanence.
A year later he would go to Manchester United de Sir Alex Ferguson where he played two consecutive Champions League finals, the first was champion against Chelsea and the other fell to Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona.
Then his controversial move to the Manchester City which drew the ire of the Red Devils who worshiped the Apache. There he would win three titles, although the most remembered will forever be the 2011-2012 Premier League with the historic goal by Kun Agüero to end a drought of more than 30 years and begin to write the great history of the club.
However, beyond playing in the most competitive league and living with all the comforts of the first world after having gone through such a tough childhood with many deficiencies, Tevez never quite felt comfortable in England.
“I played seven years in England and thought ‘I’m here for work but I don’t adjust to the English culture’. Everything has a reason, it’s not that I didn’t learn English because I wanted to stay for a nap. Very few people know this story but today I can tell it,” concluded Carlitos.
