(ANSA) – BUENOS AIRES, 04 JUN – One year after his farewell to Boca Juniors, Carlitos Tevez announces another one, that of football. He has in fact decided to retire, despite the fact that at 38 he still received offers “both from the US and here in Argentina”. “But I have been playing football for a long time – he added speaking during a television program – and now I say enough. I gave everything I had, putting my heart in it, and that leaves me calm.” But behind the decision to quit there is also a loss that the former of Manchester United, City and Juve has never overcome, that of his father Segundo.

So I told myself that now I don’t play for anyone anymore. . Dad continued to work even when I had already become Tevez. One day he said to me: ‘you have to understand me’. However, I also made another decision, that of wanting to train: I will become a coach. “
The greatest satisfaction off the pitch, he said, was that “of the houses I managed to buy to get all my family members out of Forte Apache (an infamous area of Buenos Aires ed)”. “I’ve always said to myself – the words of the former Boca fan idol – that the next generation of Tevez had to be better and better educated, and that they shouldn’t be afraid to go out. I saw my father’s brothers. do drugs throw yourself on the ground and he said ‘do you want to end up like that?’ and that’s why he never made me miss a training session. When I went to Brazil (at Corinthians ed) and I started earning my first real money I told my father that we had to start buying houses for uncles and grandparents to get them out from the neighborhood. In all, I bought 14 and saw that their lives have changed “. ‘ (HANDLE).
