What A Difference A Year Makes…Carlos Tevez
On the final day of last season, I really wanted to see United relegate West Ham, the club that took great pride in denying United titles in the past. With the league wrapped up and an FA Cup final on the way, our players lacked the motivation to go out and get the win. They beat us 1-0 in what proved to be a dull and lifeless game. We lifted the trophy at the final whistle and West Ham fans celebrated their escape from final day depression.
Carlos Tevez, who had been linked with United at the time, scored the only goal of the game, and celebrated wildly with their fans. He ended the season West Ham’s highest scorer, with the majority of fans hailing him as the reason they stayed in the Premiership.
Almost a year to the day later, West Ham travelled to Old Trafford again, again with the hope of getting a win, their fourth successive victory in a row, to leave our title hopes hanging in the balance. This time though, Carlos Tevez was wearing the red of United.
United finished the day 4-1 winners, with Carlos Tevez scoring the best goal of his United career. The West Ham fans applauded him whilst he celebrated with his United team mates.
Today, Carlos Tevez has spoken about how special it was to win the title with United on Sunday.
“I am very happy,” he said. “This is one of the best things to have happened to me in my life. I had two-and-a-half years without winning a title so I was getting used to that, and I didn’t like it. It’s been wonderful to win the title next to players like Ronaldo and Rooney and many other good players, but the most important thing is the team, not just the good players. Now it would be great to win the Champions League. I am going to do everything I can to ensure that we take that title too. I know that it is important to win finals. It would be like something out of a dream if I can also win the Champions League in my first year with this team.”
How do you rate Tevez’s first season at United?

“I am going to do everything I can to ensure that we take that title too”. That’s enough for me. That’s the true spirit of United.
WELL DONE. AMAZING TEVEZ. I PREFER TEVEZ OVER TORRES. HARD-WORKING. CREATIVE. IMPORTANTS GOALS. LINKING UP BEAUTIFULLY WITH THE TEAM. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM TEVEZ.
tevez is a STAR -agree with james f - he has a work rate like no other. our little carlito is off and running from the second he steps onto the pitch until the second he comes off. you cannot ask for more dedication than this man.
ARGENTINA!
“I scored my first goal at United against Chelsea. Now I want to repeat it in Moscow.”
Yeah, its settled. I love a man.
A man…or The man, Markus ? Subtle, but important difference mate…unless of course, it isn’t!
Tevez has always played with the right attitude and loves every shirt he wears, unlike Heinze. Tevez left Corinthians in acrimonious circumstances but still publicly declared his desire to one day return there. It’s no secret that he wants to go back to Boca as well, his boyhood club. Tevez is the most loyal player you will find and his dedication is unrivalled. 19 goals in his first season at United is fantastic but his overall play is so much more valuable than his goals. And we saw at the Camp Nou true sacrifice for the team.
Carlitos is amazing. He’s the very definition of determination. I love seeing him chasing around the pitch like a tazmanianan devil giving blood sweat and tears for the side. And he never seems to get upset at his teammates, he just works harder to get the ball back. Its incredible. Cant praise him enough.
FOR THE FIVE TIMES HE’S DUG UTD OUT OF THE GRAVE, HE SHOULD BE GIVEN A PERMANENT CONTRACT. ever wonder why all our vital goals this season have fallen to him? there must be something special about him. I THINHK CARLITO TEVEZ IS COOL.
