“We didn't have football boots, and we used a broken tennis ball instea...” — Carlos Tevez Quote

“We didn't have football boots, and we used a broken tennis ball instead of a football. I didn't use a proper ball until I was 11.”

“I'm a bit tired of so much football, so much football. I want to enjoy my family a bit. I'm very keen to stop and get a bit of calm.”

“It's hard to say you're struggling if you're a professional footballer. Other people have far greater problems.”

“Most men, even egotistic actors, always shy away from dancing with me. Other dancers report the same trouble. They probably figure that I would be mentally comparing them with Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly. So I go to parties and usually just sit - unless George Burns is there - and then I have a ball.”

“I can't look into the crystal ball. All I can do is the here and now.”

“I would say like this: because the best players, they gotta work on both ends. You just have to make them work on both ends... They play the whole game, they handle the ball a lot. You just want to make them tired.”
