Read this, he's trying to get Aguero in trouble too!
-
CARLOS TEVEZ has revealed how depression led to a summer eating binge that forced him into a clinic.
Tevez, desperate for a move to Inter Milan, was gutted when a swap deal with Wesley Sneijder was rejected by City.
And he suffered extra stress as Argentina flopped in the Copa America after he missed a penalty kick against Uruguay in the quarter-finals.
Now Tevez has lifted the lid on the turmoil he suffered throughout the lengthy transfer saga which saw City fans turn on him.
He said: “I’m not the s**t that they say I am. I had a personal crisis this summer.
“I put on five or six kilos and had to check myself into a clinic. I was depressed and so I ate and ate. Only my family and my friends know this.
“People can criticise me if I don’t play well, but they can’t say ‘He missed a penalty so the coach would be sacked.’ It’s the bad feeling towards me that I can’t stand.”
Tevez must now settle back into Manchester life, despite the fact he has previously stated he hates living there. His off-pitch troubles should be eased by the fact his family recently moved into a plush £20,000-a-month pad in Alderley Edge with him.
And the Argie forward can try to focus on building a partnership with compatriot Sergio Aguero as City set their sights on the title.
But Tevez reckons Aguero is already getting bored with learning the lingo of the Premier League.
He said: “Kun is studying English. I would say give him a week or 10 days more and he will give up. The first week he said: ‘I’ve got English today.’
“The second week he said the same but with a different expression on his face...and the third week he went off for a siesta instead.”
